a week away

A week on the coast has done wonders for me!
Some eye candy to look at while I get unpacked:

The incredible range of greens along the Barrier Islands near Emerald Isle.

A cat sleeping outside a restaurant in Swansboro (Nonni's-GREAT fresh peach fritters!)

Sailboats in the harbor at Beaufort.

Good to be back. Great time with great friends. Laughed a lot, ate wonderfully (thanks to Sandra Lee's June/July Semi-homemade Summer magazine/cookbook). Sewed quite a bit. Wish I could do this monthly!
