ocean links

There is a nearby golf course on. the. ocean. We both wanted to play but always assumed it was 1) obnoxiously expensive and 2) WAY too windy making my 'I haven't touched my clubs in over a year' experience even worse than it would already be. Turns out, it isn't that expensive and it was so calm on Sunday, you could have water skied out there! So, it was a no-brainer and we hit the links.

The sky matched the water - you couldn't even tell where ocean water ended to meet the skyline.

There was a twosome behind us on a cart that we tried to let play through. They didn't want to. They thought we spoke German. It was rather confusing. I guess we should have known... the French are never in a hurry!

It just looks like clouds but I promise half of that blue is WATER! 

Well, we are back on the horse. Hopefully we can play again before it gets chilly!

...around here

Mark felt the love last weekend - Sour Patch Kids from my mom and MtnDew from me... spoiled.

We bought the last of the summer berries at the Sunday market.

Our package from my mom included an obnoxious amount of coffee and we didn't hesitate a second to brew some. Because we were staying up late to watch the Hawks on Saturday - a 2:30pm game is a 9:30pm kickoff here - 
we brewed an afternoon pot and played UNO. Aren't we so cool?

After staying inside on a cool Saturday, we broke out the bikes on Sunday afternoon
and discovered a potential picnic spot!

The MtnDew was accompanied by some other baking ingredients. We discovered a company in France run by some Americans that provide goodies from the great ol' U.S.A. Baking powder was first in the cart and banana bread was on the menu! We are sharing this goodness on Saturday with neighbors.

There is no travel on our calendar for once! This calls for celebration! Bon-weekend!
