A Lovely Day By The Ocean

Yesterday was a great day, one filled with all of my favorite things. The morning was spent with hubby garage saling. There were not that many as most people were off enjoying the sunshine and moderate 23 degrees celcius temperature. We picked up a few items for the house, a pepper grinder, blow-dryer and one vintage item for my Etsy shop which I will share with you in a different post.

Next was lunch at home and then on to the beach - the ocean ashort five minute drive away. Two hours spent picking shells, watching seals in the binoculars, reading and tanning.

Finally, we splurged (yes, we do that occassionally) and ate dinner out at an oceanside pub that overlooks fishermans wharf. After dinner, a walk around the wharf looking at all the fishing boats and pleasure vessels.

Today was definitely one of those "living rich on the cheap" days, like a vacation in your own home town. I love our new life.
