Yesterday we made a trip back to town and had lunch at a Mexican 'hole in the wall' and the food was pretty good and large portions of it as well. Even the child's meal of a bean burrito and french fries was enough for an adult. The burrito itself was about 6-8 inches long, 2-3 inches across, and about an inch high! Yeah, leftovers. We picked up condiments for hamburgers for lunch today, and chocolate covered strawberries for dessert, and a few other things. We also found a place that a friend had told hubby and I about a few months ago. This place is called 'A bucket of spaghetti' and it is only 'to go'. And that is what you get! There are three sizes of buckets, depending on how many people eating. We got the family size and got also a half loaf of buttered garlic toast. Oh my. We heated it up for dinner last night and still have leftovers and it was really good. We got just the spaghetti and the maranaira sauce, but you can also buy meatballs if you want. We stuck with sauce. I told hubby we found it so when we come up in August to this general area, we will definitely pick up a bucket to get us through a couple meals. That is one of hubby's comfort foods - he gets it often at restaurants.
There is a small creek that runs somewhere around here and there is parking beside it. I think that is where we are going to go for a little while today. Perhaps after the baby has her nap this morning. We haven't been able to do the 'hiking' we had thought of doing, but have stayed close to the house. Found a tree house and a swing on the property. My daughter and I saw two huge squirrels playing out in the woods yesterday as we stood at the window. It was fun watching them run around. That's the 'wildlife' we've seen thus far.
I struggled to get up this morning; I really didn't want to . I slept much better last night than the night before, but I knew I wanted to do my quiet time before the others woke up. I also knew I needed to take my Fosamax that I forgot to take yesterday. AND I have to stay up once I take it. I finally made myself get up at 4:20AM to take my pill and start my Bible reading. I have realized I can't also do my study because I am listening for the others to move about and can't concentrate. So I got caught up last night on what I didn't get done earlier. We were actually in bed around 9PM last night - which was good for me. I was able to finish my study and get some good sleep in.
One thing about vacations, one tends to snack a lot more on food you don't normally snack on. AND, one doesn't drink the water one does at home. Yep. By last night my body seemed to be screaming "STOP IT ALREADY"!! So I downed more water and stopped snacking. Got tog et back to eating healthy cause donuts and cookies (even the wafer cookies I had bought two packages of and shared with the baby, and I have already eaten probably a whole package by myself) and lots of carbs of other things... it just doesn't go well with my body. I feel bloated and out of sorts - and I don't like feeling this way. Perhaps I needed to go off eating good to eating bad - to see how much better I feel when I do eat good. Food for thought, perhaps? LOL
Need to jump in the shower and I definitely need a cup of coffee this morning! My 1/2 hour wait after I take my pill is over and done withs ome time ago so I need to take the rest of my daily pills and get my day started. I hear the others downstairs and need to get this body moving.
It's so nice to look out into the forrest and see the beauty that God has made. Each tree He designed and created. It's beautiful up here. One only needs to pause their busy schedules and look/
Take some time today to pause and look up into the sky and marvel at the beauty and handiwork of our God. Isn't it awesome?
Blessings!
