MARCHPHOTOADAY

I've joined the Marchphotoaday Challenge along with Mama Tink and some other bloggers. Basically, every participant posts a picture of a specific subject for each day of the month.

Today's subject is "where you relax":

I am most comfortable and most relaxed when I am near the water -
river, ocean, lake, whatever.

This bench overlooks a quiet marina near our home. The bench is on the very edge of a large city park that overlooks the point where one can look across both the mouth of the Susquehanna River and across the Chesapeake Bay to the Eastern Shore of Maryland. We spend a lot of time in this park. I like to just sit and watch the activity on the river - boats, birds, ducks, fishermen, etc. We often take our lunch and eat at one of the picnic tables and then just sit and read for the afternoon. There is a boardwalk-like promenade that winds around the point and back into the downtown area of Havre de Grace, MD. A tremendous number of folks walk the promenade each day for their regular exercise routine.


Here's the list if you'd like to play along with the March Photo Challenge, too.

Shhhh! Santa's sleeping. Or, at least, he should be!

Okay, so how's an elderly, fat (morbidly obese) guy who eats way too many cookies. runs non-stop for who-knows-how-many hours without a break survive Christmas?

I, for one, am flopping all day today! I'm tired - very tired. This is the first day I haven't had to rush to deliver packages, get something together to take in the way of food, get myself fixed up and presentable for socializing, etc.

I've got the house to myself. I stayed in bed late this morning. That felt wonderful! I mosied out for a glass of tea (I'm an iced tea addict. No hot tea for me in the morning.) Tea in hand, I cuddled up in a big chair with an afghan and relaxed some more.

Yeah, I will need to do some laundry and The Big Guy would appreciate a nice dinner so I guess I will have to do something. I just don't plan to do much today.

I've already read two chapters in my latest book and I'm thinking about settling in for several hours of catching up on my blog reading. Things have been so hectic that I haven't had time to post myself, let alone read everybody else's musings.

Today is like a respite in a storm. I do have several items ordered for delivery later this week. So my paint brushes won't get much break. I'm just not doing it today! We still have some folks to visit with this week so the partying goes on.

As of today, we have no big plans for New Year's Eve which is good as they are predicting another possible snowstorm moving in on Thursday and another on Friday.

You know, being snowed in for two days with my man and no outside commitments, doesn't sound bad!
