Few days away

 We took a two-night stay on the Rivah as we call it on the Rappahannock.  Virginia has some wonderful waterways, and this is one of them for sure. Our rental consisted of two structures.  One an efficiency with kitchenette, bath and bedroom with t.v.

the one on the left, efficiency and on the right was a structure with widows that could be opened for breezes that felt so good in the evening.  A sectional sofa, large screen t.v. and it was of course air conditioned and heated.  This one called 'The Crab Shack' I loved for reading, and napping.

The crab shack a few steps away from our efficiency and I loved this area for reading in the evening.  

One of two books I have going. 

Interesting life I must say.  I watched 'On Golden Pond' for the second time after many years and wanted to read about Hepburn.  

Hanging from ceiling in the Crab Shack.  So pretty with sun shining through it. 
Driftwood art in corner.  
Ideas for some that I have picked up from beach visits.

This is one hanging in corner of our efficiency 
Steve so enjoyed the river in Kayak.

Eating out a few times at a restaurant not too far from here 
I had one dinner of fish and chips

We'll return.

That's it for now

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
