Claiming this for a week or so

Perhaps you've wondered where I've been...

...just at the most perfect spot for aqua blue toenails.

Insert big smiley face : ) under "Welcome."

Little 4-year-old Nora took it upon herself to line footwear up ever night at our condo door. She wanted to be sure that the next morning we'd be ready to get to the beach as soon as possible.

We didn't want to miss any of this looking for flip flops.

Refreshing having nowhere to be for a long week, but right here.

As it must, the tide came in and our little piece of beach real estate washed away. We're now back home and diving into reality. For starters, I'm off to restock a very empty fridge.
