Memorial Day

On Memorial Day the boyfriend and I joined forces with: M.Lady, Exploded Viewer, Mousehead, Words-She Has Them and a few blogularly challenged others including but not limited to She-who-has-no-blog and went to our local beach. The above photograph is not our local beach, it's a beach much farther south. But the area surrounding our own beach (which was a lovely less than a mile away) was quite jam packed with families and frisbees and little white dogs and balloons and sand and policemen. We had a pot luck picnic that ended with a good number of dips and chips to go with them. Along with some pasta, fruit and potato salad. The boyfriend and I brought fixin's for cheese/hummus/cucumber/tomato sandwiches. Bocci ball was played. I won two dollars from Exploded Views for fully submerging myself in the lake, which was very very cold. We also played hearts and generally sat under a tree on the grass by the bike path. It was good.

Then we went home and I watched Nanny McPhee...which was actually far better than I expected it would be...though it wasn't no Harry Potter at all.
