Three weeks ago five of us escaped to the beach. There were three conditions for going--you could only take pajamas and movies and one outfit to wear out to eat for a celebration! The weather kept changing so we didn't know what to take anyway. Piper went with us an we loaded up to go. We left at 10:00 AM and got there in time for the AL/LSU game! Did I mention stopping at every Michaels and Hobby Lobby on the way? It rained all day Tuesday--very hard and then the cold came in. Not a problem for us--remember--pjs and movies! We had wonderful homemade bread, soups and salads--every meal a gourmets delight. In all we watched 12 movies, stayed up late, laughed until we cried and celebrated a birthday. Four of the five are cancer survivors, two have lost their husbands and we are all Christian ladies. Three of us go to the same church and are related (by marriage or by blood); the other two go to church together. Two of us have the same mother--we just don't know which one (figure that one out!!) we are all sisters in love and have a great time together. Until I find my camera I can't show you the girls but I can show you some of the food. We bought cupcakes on the way down to have for dessert that night for the game. I will entice you with the names--top to bottom, left to right: lemon cream, strawberry, red velvet with vanilla buttercream, chocolate with salted caramel, carrot with cream cheese, and pound cake with vanilla buttercream. Good doesn't even begin to describe them!!
This is the wonderful tomato bisque that Pat makes. The salad is my baby greens with pears, caramalized nuts and sweet tea vinagrette. We enjoyed turnip green soup and corn bread one night. On Charlotte's birthday we went out to eat and I had Fried Green Tomatoes with crawfish sauce!!
They were better than delicious. The movie "Joyful Noise" followed that meal and we ended with salad and baked potatoes for dinner. I will not mention the Black Jack Cherry Frozen Yogurt we had several times during the week!!
Piper took good care of us during the week. She loved posing in her new PINK halter. She loves the beach because she gets to ride the elevator. I still haven't found my camera. I haven't been back to the beach and have attended two weekend scrapbook events. Talk about moaning! I really hope it's at the condo!!
The girls had a great time and look forward to going back again soon. I look forward to blogging about my LAST weekly chemo treatment tomorrow!! Talk to you soon.
