Home Feels Good

I miss the Bay (it was so beautiful when we left which always makes it a little harder) but my bed is always nice too.  I felt like I hadn't slept in it in forever and I slept like a dream last night.

I arrived home yesterday around 4:00 and immediately changed so that I could take Sami for a nice romp.  She only got a mile in but I promised that today would be her full 2 miles.  After that I did some unpacking, dinner prep and then settled in with a beer before Jimmy got home.  We had a quick dinner and then he headed next door to do some painting.  I took a nice hot bath and read my book (reading Sue Monk Kidd's Invention of Wings and it is SOOO good!) before falling asleep. 

My plans today: My neighbor sold me her bike (she bought a new one and was getting rid of her in-perfect-condition Schwinn) so I need to go out to get a bike helmet. I'm excited to head down to the trail and ride.  I'm thinking a helmet with cat or dog ears on it like the little girl next door has...or maybe a tank on the top like the little boy two doors down.  I wonder if they have adult helmets with "stuff" on it.  We'll see.  Maybe I'd be better off with a helmet that has cup holders and a straw.  If not I bet Jim could fashion one for me.  Anyway - Mom and Richard should be here mid-afternoon.  They're just doing a quick stop over on their way home from Michigan.  We'll have dinner tonight of pork tenderloin, potatoes and broccoli.  I need to go to the grocery too...and that's about it.  Oh, and mow the lawn (the back at least if it isn't too soggy...apparently we got a lot of rain while I was gone).

EXCITING:  I placed my first order for my Green Bean Delivery (produce and veggies delivered to your door every week.  Here's my first order:

1 tomato
1 pound grapes
1 pound strawberries
1 potato
1 head of red leaf lettuce
1 onion, Vidalia
6 oz. raspberries
1 pound green beans
1 green and yellow squash
2 pluots (an aprilum)
4 nectarines

I'm excited and I still might do a couple substitutes before Monday (I have until then to change my order).

Okay well, that's all I've got for now.  I have a lot to do before Mom and Richard get here so I better get cracking...later!  Happy Friday!
