The Keys to a Blissful Weekend

A visit home to Maine, 
a lot of gardening at Mum's,
a lot of good cooking and eating 
(like jalapeno shrimp with lime and cilantro on the grill),
Bananagrams,
bargains at the Montsweag Flea
and Reny's,
snapping a few good shots,
thinking a few good thoughts,
penning a few good words,
taking one good, long walk.
Thanks to Skeletal Mess for the old paper texture in photos 1 & 2 
and to Kim Klassen for the grubbify texture in photos 1 & 3.

  5. Love the keys - there's a bit of mystery to them. What do they open? Do they still work? What's behind the door?

  8. Bananagrams? And image 3 holds the attention - it has such an air of someone going someplace good, and it doesn't matter how long it takes to get there.

  14. Bananagrams is a word game that is highly addictive. Think Scrabble without the board. It has become the game of choice in our house, and it's fun for kids to play, too. They find it a lot less frustrating than Scrabble because it is very fast paced. If you like games like Scrabble or Boggle, you'll LOVE this game!

  18. How funny........I was going to ask you about those bikes in your header today and there is the answer. Gorgeous photos Gigi, the one of your husband is a keeper and I bet he likes it too. How come no one told me about blogging in the dark? This is a case of I will have What She is Having, if writing at night makes those wonderful words of yours come out easier.....then I am in! Sounds like you had the perfect weekend. Much love XO
