Home Again, Home Again, Jiggity Jig

The second half of my journey was much longer, and as the driver I wasn’t able to shift around and got very uncomfortable. Thank goodness for yoga tunas and tennis balls!

I came home to SUPER green grass.

IMG_7656Blog

And a husband who is cuter than I remember!

IMG_7653Blog

Andddddddddd….. dinner!!

IMG_7651Blog

Local bison burgers on local Virginia roll buns and local kale chips! With non-local ketchup.

IMG_7655Blog

Matt asked if I wanted any spinach on my burger. I said no. Then I found this leaf had snuck inside!! “For the nutrients,” I’m sure.

IMG_7650Blog

Perfectly cooked kale chips!

IMG_7654Blog

Served with a puddle of ketchup.

And later, an episode of LOST! Dontcha love it when Hurley’s mom calls him “Ugo”

:mrgreen: this !

Excited to sleep in my bed, although I will miss the ocean.

    You and Matt totally play food tricks on each other. I guess that is what happens when you give him decaf coffee!!! Too silly 🙂

    And I’m soo jealous of all the vacations you get to take! I’ve actually never taken a vacation before (I’m so ashamed to say that) but we just don’t make a lot of money :*(

    Love your blog! My husband (who never eats oatmeal) loved the whipped banana oatmeal we had for a late dinner tonight. I managed to remember Chia seeds and stopped by the bakery on Friday for the first time and came away with granola, bread and several butters to try. Thanks for the wonderful writing-I look forward to it every day now.

    I love road trips! Especially to Blackburg in the fall. (God really is a Hokie! LOL) Anyway your patio is my dream patio setting. I live in Va Beach and want a an enclosed patio that has a beachy feel to it. I might have to “borrow” that pic to use as my design base. I see why you eat outside. So peaceful isn’t it?

    S/N what is Sunbutter? Like peanut butter but made with sunflower seeds?
    Have a great day!

      Yup! Ground up sunflower seeds. It’s even better than the seeds themselves!

    I know what you mean about being uncomfortable when driving long trips. The last time I was pregnant, I rode in the passanger side, and my back hurt so bad–I cannot remember how many weeks I was, though.
