Perfect Weather

The weather here couldn't be more perfect.  Our usual humidity hasn't made an appearance this weekend and the skys are blue with big fluffy white clouds.

MrPeachez and I took a little road trip to Urbanna, VA.  Urbanna is a small town (pop. 750) that is big on coastal charm.  Originally a tobacco port it is now just a sleepy little place to go and relax.  Boating is the main industry and the seafood is outstanding. 

First we had a little lunch at the crab shack right down on the water.  Crabcake sandwiches and soft shell crab sandwiches are all they serve.

We checked out some boats too.  There was a sailboat for sale at this marina that caught our eye.

The views of the water were so lovely because the weather was so clear.

This would be the perfect spot to sit and watch the fireworks and the boat parade that was scheduled to happen that evening. 

Everyone was busy getting their boats decorated for the boat parade.

I took this picture just because I thought this was a cute little shack.

It was a completely enjoyable day in Urbanna but later on back at home it was a lovely afternoon here in Hampton at the beach.

Cluck!

This herd of mexican chickens was spotted on the side of the road in Florida.

The big mama!

Back to It

Our crazy 96 hour trip to Florida is behind us.  The kids had fun and we all are sick of Interstate 95.

My BIL's sister Gina and her mate Robin have the most awesome house right by the beach.  Great colors and beautiful tile work throughout the house.  Every time I visit it makes me want to move to Florida with a large can of pink paint.

Where does a Georgia Peach eat when she goes to Florida?  Yummy!

Mr Peachez had time to chill out too.    

Thinking of Spring - Japanese Style

Daughter No. 2 and I checked out the library used book sale last week.  I found a stack of japanese magazines and seed catalogs that had been donated so I picked up the most colorful seed catalog of the lot.  It is the spring 1983 issue and that is about all I can tell you because I don't speak or read Japanese!  But I can appreciate these beautiful pictures.

Melons really say spring and summer for me.  Daughter No. 2 and I are watermelon pigs.  We can sit down and polish off a whole one between us at one sitting, no problem!

There are of course a few exotic flowers and veggies that I would love to try!

Mums are a popular flower in Japan, especially in paintings, etchings and textiles.

Just for fun I also picked up this little travel booklet for Malaya, March 1962.

I love the ads.  What do you think the "latest apparatus" for facial massage would have been in 1962?  I would love to jump in a time machine and go back to travel to Malaya in 1962.  I'd probably have to take up cigarette smoking though!

Cute Volvo, don't know about those white walls though.

After looking at this travel booklet, I am going to watch "A Town Like Alice" today.  I love, love, love that miniseries.  Such a fabulous love story and that Bryan Brown is smokin'.  If you have never seen it, please watch it now!  It was a PBS series many years ago but Blockbuster or Netflix should have it.  You will thank me later.   In fact, maybe I will just make it a Bryan Brown marathon and watch "The Thornbirds" after that.  Oh yeah.
