The final three months of 2012 passed in a speedy blur. I am determined to catch up on recording experiences that I don't want to forget. Recently, I found this account of a breakfast experience. It was in a draft that I had written in December.
It made me laugh because today Hubby made a similar announcement. So I hope we will be enjoying breakfast tomorrow, overlooking Mississippi Sound as we celebrate another "vacation day."

From the December file:
Husband Walter indulges in breakfast at McElroy’s Harbor House.
My husband is enjoying his “second” retirement as of Oct. 6, 2012. I woke up one morning earlier this week to Hubby’s announcement that the day would be a “vacation day.”
He had the day planned, and we started our day with a morning meal at one of our favorite spots for breakfast.
Christmas decor saltwater style
Christmas decorations included marine critters at the waterfront restaurant.
We have been having quite a few vacation days lately. I, too, am enjoying Hubby’s retirement.
We started those vacation days with a flight to the West Coast the day after Hubby’s final day driving a school bus. On our eight-night West Coast trip we revisited good memories of earlier trips and made new memories.
Hubby posted here about a memorable stop at a quirky coffee shop we had visited several decades ago. The new owner, a delightful young entrepreneur, presented us with sunflowers when she learned we had celebrated 45 years of marriage.

He looks like he is laid back, and has a wonderful sense of humor!!
ReplyDeleteAww, he is adorable in sunflowers. Didn't know he also had a blog. I will go check it out.

ReplyDeleteWhat fun....vacation days. I'll tell G that our drive about days are now vacation days. Good idea.
ReplyDeleteOh, how cute he is! Love the photos! Take care, sweet friend. Cheers and aloha!
ReplyDeleteVacation Days - what joy - another treat to add to the blessings of retirement. Let's enjoy them while we can. Every Blessing.
ReplyDeleteSo fun! Your husband is such a great sport.
ReplyDeleteMontara is just over the hill from our former home in Pacifica. Lived there for 41 years before moving 2 hours inland. I have to admit there are times I still miss the ocean and all its colorful changes but I really don't miss that persistent fog.
ReplyDeleteYour trip is like a journey down memory lane for me. (:0)
I didn't realize that Walter is now enjoying a second retirement! I'm looking forward to enjoying some of those "vacation days" with Ed, sometime in the future.
ReplyDeleteLove the sunflowers :)
