Wow it's been a while since I've last been on here. I'm reading 'The Last Enchantment" by Mary Stewart. It's book three in a series all about Merlin and his whole life. It's are really good! I love how it is are written. It's so easy to read, and to imagine all the places that Merlin describes :-) I've also read the two books that came before this one, "The Crystal Cave" and "The Hollow Hills". but besides that, I haven't done too much reading lately. :)
So for my mom, today, we went to Big Sur State Park for a lovely lunch of goat cheese, lunch meat, crackers, and cookies. It was BEAUTIFUL there today! Sunny, warm, with a little breeze! We had such a nice time there. I love driving down the coast to Big Sur, because I really feel like I am on the very edge of a continent! It's the coolest feeling! Seeing the ocean, and how it just goes on forever...So cool! :-D We had to get gas for the car first, and while Dad was washing the front window I said "I love watching squeegees" which made everyone else in the car laugh a lot. it was kind of funny ;-)
Half-way there, mom asked me if i remembered to bring knives and a cutting board. (I forgot to bring any!) but thanks to my trusty purse i HAD two plastic butter knives and we were saved! haha! I felt so smug, when i pulled out those two knives ;-D
Our favorite place to go is Pfeiffer State Park, in Big Sur. it's the most beautiful place in all of Big Sur, I think. There are huge, old redwoods everywhere. the Sycamore trees and the river make the whole place smell amazing.I wish I could bottle it...;-) Every time we get to Big Sur, we always roll down all the windows and breathe in the fresh air!
It was strange. There was no one there, where we went and had our picnic. Only the blue jays and the chipmunks, which seemed to be stalking us, waiting for us to drop a crumb for them to eat. It was really funny to watch them hop around! One time we walked over a bit to take a quick picture, and in two seconds the birds had flown over and were sitting on the benches making cheese and cracker sandwiches, drinking our iced tea, eating the middles out of our chocolate sandwich cookies and talking about the high-rise in bird taxes. ;-) Hahahaha!
After our picnic, we took a walk to our favorite place to throw rocks into the river. I took a lot of pictures of everyone and the sunlight streaming through the trees. I can't believe how nice it was yesterday. We threw rocks into the river for a bit, then when we walked back, I carried Gwynnie on my back for a little while, which made her happy, because I was bouncing around and making silly nosies.
Oh and I pet a lizard! When we were waiting for Dad to get the car, there was a cute little lizard on the stump I was standing by, and s/he(?) crawled out of a hole in the stump. and I reached down slowly and petted his(her) back, then s/he ran away. it was really cool though, and Gwyn loved seeing the lizard! It was so cute! :-)
On the way back everyone fell asleep. Mom, Gwyn, Thane, and Emrys. Dad and I were the only ones who stayed awake. When we got back, Mom and Gwyn went in the bedroom and slept some more, Thane drew, Em and I play solitaire for a little bit. Then dad and I worked on a VERY fancy dinner of, (AMAZING) steak, mashed potatoes, grilled corn, artichokes, asparagus, and sparkling apples cider. It was SO good! and then I made GF brownies, and mint-chip ice cream(dairy-free) for dessert, and we watched the Amazing Race finale!
I think that we all had a fun day! I think going to Big Sur for lunch is my favorite thing to go out and do.
Gwyn had a lot of sand in her cloths that she just dumped on the floor...I think today will be clean the floors day ;-) lol!
Peace out and Happy readings!
