the essence

Yesterday evening we went up to Ray's dads for the evening. His step-mom, Katharine, is an excellent cook & had dinner ready for us when we arrived. Plus, it's just nice to have delicious food that I don't have to make.

We had beans & yellow rice, garlic bread, pork loin (with rosemary from the herb garden), & delicious DELICIOUS organic tomatoes with homemade salsa, onions, & feta cheese (I ate SO many!). For dessert we had a blueberry crumble made with blueberries they'd picked at a local farm.

Addison ate a lot as well & loves chasing the animals around!

(I love this dress - I picked up almost a year ago at a thrift store for around $2-$3!)



This evening we're driving to Sarasota to stay for a couple of nights. Our friends have a condo about a mile from the beach & about 1/2 mile from St. Armands Circle. Ray's doing some work on the condo & they're letting us stay there a couple of nights (free!). I'm really excited, I can't wait to relax by the beach!
