Another gray start to the day. But if it's like the past few it will clear up and be a very warm day.
We enjoyed our day out east although I think everyone on LI had somewhere to go. Lots of people and lots of cars all going somewhere yesterday. I think everyone was out and about enjoying the warm weather. Since it was a fall festival my GF had made up a pot of vegetarian minestrone and a big green salad and some appetizer things. We sat and visited a while and then headed over to the farm. The crowds had thinned out by then and I got some beautiful mums and some apples that I'll be baking up something. They had such a variety of apples and I wanted to try something that I had never tried before. They're called Ginger Gold. They had a chart up for the best ways to use the variety of apples. These seemed to be good for everything from eating to cooking. I found a recipe for a deep dish apple pie with pecans on top that sounds really good so I may just have to give that a try today. We headed back to the house and before dinner DH and I headed down to the beach. They're about a 5 minute walk (and a very steep flight of steps down) to a small beach on the sound. I actually don't know whether it's Long Island Sound or the Great South Bay where they are but in any case I stopped at the landing and sat on the little bench and just enjoyed the view while DH continued down to the actual beach. Very peaceful. We had a light dinner and a variety of desserts. I have to say I've been pretty much staying away from the dessert wagon but I did have to sample a few last night! My GF has lost 30 lbs on WW. She looks great!
I had a cup of tea last night and I think I forgot to ask for the decaf type which would probably explain why I woke up at 1AM and thought it was time to get up. It was a restless night so I've been up for awhile and I have lots of things to do. Not sure whether I'm going to accomplish much but we'll see how the day unfolds. I do have to finish getting a grocery list together and head to the grocery store. I forgot to make a nail appointment so I'll have to call and see if I can get an appointment. I don't know why I just don't make it for the following week when I'm in there.
That's about it from this end of LI. I'm going to finish up my coffee and then get myself together for the day.
Patty-enjoy the day at Mom's! Always sounds like an interesting day when you head that way!
Good Morning,
