Staycation, Day 1

August 9, 2010 By Carole

My 2 week vacation officially starts today. We’ll be home this week and then going to the Cape next week and we’re all very happy about resting and relaxing, visiting and sightseeing, hanging out and playing games.

I’ll still be blogging this week but it will be blogging of the lighter variety. A picture and a few words or something of that nature.

For today:

Easton's Beach blog size

A picture of last Friday’s visit to Easton’s Beach in Newport. After a busy afternoon of walking around Newport, a visit to the beach was the perfect way to end the day.

Come to think of it, that’s the perfect way to end any day.

    Great shot! I can almost feel the mist fall over me. I hope you week at home is full of “want to do’s.”

    Looks like what we use to call Newport’s 2nd beach. If
    so, that was where we brought all six of our kids –
    only an hour from our house. Wonderful memories
    of good times there! Happy vacation!!

    I’m a little envious that you can get to the beach almost whenever you want! Have a wonderful vacation!!!

    I hope you’re sleeping late every morning and getting to be lazy while you’re vacationing at home.

    I do love those rollers. I hope you are enjoying the first very very hot day.

    It’s amazing how even just a few minutes at the beach can put you in another place. Living three miles from Lake Michigan, I try to take advantage of the big water every chance I get. Happy staycation!

    Beautiful picture…I can just hear the waves. Enjoy your staycation!

I’ve been making sourdough bread for over 2 year I’ve been making sourdough bread for over 2 years now (I started before the pandemic, ironically enough) and this might just be one of my best loaves. The dough was sluggish yesterday and not ready to be proofed when I went to bed so I stuck the plastic bucket in the fridge and hoped for the best. Turns out the overnight bulk fermentation resulted in a beautiful, bouncy dough. I can’t wait to cut into it and check out the crumb but it’s still cooling down. #sourdoughbread #imadeitmyself #homemadeisbest #breadbaker
