How to Saturday at a Cottage…
First, you must start with bacon…
And add a fresh-made apple strudel for good measure…
Put on a pretty dress to feel nice, even when other people say dressing up at the cottage is silly. As if!
Then go for a long walk to the next point on the beach.
Sand bars are the best bars!
Don’t forget to take both cute and silly photos with the family.
Followed by collapsing on the deck and getting lost in a book for the afternoon.
Cancer is on vacation.
I’ve got lobster rolls to eat.
Hope you’re having a great one!! xoxo

Cancer doesn’t deserve a vacation.
It needs to be fired.

That’s actually our “new” oven at the cottage. Last year we were still using the original one from the 50′s!
