sweet treat

Stopped in Southern Season with the grand girls for a sweet treat.   Adalyn had her eyes set on from the start a  large Easter Egg decorated sugar cookie - she loves her cookies.

Don't touch my cookie look - serious cookie eaters are she and her sister


started with four macarons but two  are gone already


Genevieve loved them







Opa and I shared one,  next time we get more.

lunch and a view

Steve and I headed out for an early dinner Saturday in Port Royal.   Stopped on the way at an antique shop and bought a few embroidered handkerchiefs for a buck a piece.   Will make a few lavender sachets with them.
Our usual stop is River Haven restaurant.  We like to have lunch here because of the great shrimp and the views of the water.
Appetizer as always

looking to the Belle Grove Plantation - birthplace of president James Madison


Reflections in the river



the trip home due west right into the sunset

Power lines - not so pretty

anniversary

Today is our anniversary.  I went out for doughnuts for Steve as he LOVES  jelly doughnuts, along with a breakfast sandwich.

Lemon and berry in shape of hearts



A surprise waiting for me

The earrings I received last year for my anniversary match perfectly



Our wedding was many years ago. The celebration continues to this day.    - Gene Perret
