Nautical Farewell

DSC07722 

Yarrrr, there he blows. The vessel in the distance is carrying My Captain away at 26 knots while I gaze longingly from my widow’s watch 😥

One of my very favorite books is Ahab’s Wife, Or The Star Gazer by Sena Jeter Naslund. The book tells the story of Ahab’s wife’s life and is perhaps one of the most beautifully written books I’ve ever read. 

We traveled to the gym this morning via golf cart and I spent 40 minutes on an old fashioned elliptical. Then the Matt’s and I ran home in light rain – just over a mile. It was a very fast run (being with the boys and all) and also a very wet run! It started pouring just as we pulled in the last half mile.

We had an earlier lunch because of the husband’s family’s departure. I turned a ham sandwich into a salad. Spinach topped with:

  • Maple Ham
  • Carrot
  • Tomato
  • Cheddar
  • Half an egg
  • Candied nuts
  • Honey Mustard

Plus a yogurt that I bought at the market with some Kashi H2H from home –

And I had 1/4 of a grapefruit and a few tortilla chips from the bag.

And we were encouraged to eat the bourbon balls before we leave tomorrow!

Afternoon agenda:

  • Finish Eleanor
  • Start Blue Bistro
  • Walk on the beach with mom
  • Dinner (TBD) with the Old Salts
  • A spa retreat in my room by myself including lunar flow yoga and a bubble bath

May you stay high and dry today 🙂

    Your salad looks really good, definitely different than a sandwich!

    That salad looks fabulous! And can I just say you are the most prolific blogger I follow? I don’t know how you find the time to take so many pictures and write so many posts. But keep it up, I love it!

    I can never find my own salads as appealing as yours, I guess we really do eat with our eyes 🙂

    I made my sammie into a salad today too! Just ordered an UNWICH at Jimmy John’s and chopped it up – less carbs for me!

    Have fun at dinner whatever you decide!

    Thanks Cindy. I find joy and creativity in every photo I take. Especially being on vacation – I can’t wait to type up my recaps (and my family is very enthusiastic too!)

    I’ve always wanted to read Ahab’s Wife, as I am one of those *weird* people who actually liked Moby Dick. Glad to hear a good review of it!

    my book club is scheduled to read Ahab’s Wife and Eleanor. Also, thank your husband for a great honey wheat bread recipe. I’ve recently had to start making bread for my family because of my son’s peanut/nut allergy. I used to buy Breadsmith bread. They are a local artisan bakery and their breads have no preservatives or additives. But the risk of cross-contamination with peanuts/nuts is too great. So I’ve been making our family’s bread at home and everyone enjoyed his recipe.
