Dreamin' in Rye

Last Friday Michael took me over to the beach

for supper at Petey's..

Where I have come upon the realization that

I actually do love clams!

In the past , the only clams I had ever eaten

were clam "strips"...

little strings of leather fried up to a greasy

crispy blandness..

These whole clams are wonderful!

On the way to Petey's and back

I played with the new camera Michael bought me..

I fear that what little understanding I have wrung from

the instruction booklet has lead me to

the conclusion that now

I must register for multiple college courses ,

the least

of which would probably be graduate level,

in order to understand all the buttons, knobs

and dials...

to be able to take a picture

in something more than the "auto" setting!

The "slide" above was made with

the new camera...

I am so far very tickled with it...

and with

Michael for his ever thoughtfulness & sweetness !!

Rain has come and been predicted for a few days

I have heard of the rainy, dreariness

that has plagued a good part of the country..

At, least its rain and not blizzards...

Hopefully ,its just rain where you are and no spring turbulence's...

i.e. hailstorms or strong straight winds ,

floods or " tornatic" events! It can get really rough to say the least!

On the side bar of the blog

you can find a new gadget or two...

there will be daily quotes

from two favorites

Mark Twain & Dr. Seuss!

As you can very well tell ,

there is not a lot of news this week from Rye.

I fear that I have been slightly overcome with a blue funk...

(could it be that I am over the "trip" and I already miss my Babies again..)

That is my best venture!

I am going to do my best to remedy this calamity of moods

by spending endless hours in the craft room...

and the making of a

bread pudding covered in rum sauce..

Yeah, that's the ticket...

and maybe just maybe when I look up

the week will be over, the rain will be gone ,

it will have warmed up

and we can go "out" and play!!

Hope this finds all y'all in a

happy go lucky mood

warmed by a

bright and sunny

day!
