After they were off to her house, I took a loaf of hot cinnamon raisin bread out of the bread machine, loaded the dishwasher, and folded two loads of laundry. I listened to Pandora and enjoyed the quiet house.
When Jonathan got home from work, we drove out to the lighthouse and enjoyed walking & talking. We sipped Starbucks' beverages on the drive there and back. Jonathan made amazing hot toasted sandwiches on Artisan bread and we enjoyed dinner while watching a movie in the comfort of our own living room. We paused the movie to brew tea & serve up slices of bakery tiramisu.
No bedtimes. No baths. No dirty floor after little girl supper.
Just us.
His & Hers mugs of steaming black tea.
His & Hers laptops with His & Hers headphones.
His & Hers notebooks.
His & Hers pillows.
His & Hers dreams.
It sounds quite blissful, and I'm glad you got some rejuvenation time! I love the pictures of Natalie.
