Pack Up A Perfect Picnic with Picnic Plus

picnix

Loving my Woven  Picnic Basket. So happy to say picnic season in on right now.  I am keeping it real simple. Some pastries, whole  fruit, and iced tea or wine, cheese, and bread.   Or maybe some sandwiches,  individual-sized desserts. A good idea is to chill  beverages before pouring them into thermoses so they stay cold. I always keep a blanket and supplies in the trunk of the car and some plates and cups. Go outside and enjoy!! 🙂

Old Chickahominy House

I spent this weekend in  Williamsburg, Va…  Our first breakfast morning we decided to eat at Old Chickahominy House.  That’s Chick-A-Hominy.  We had to say it a few times to remember the name.  We just kept forgetting it.  Have to admit it is a strange name for a breakfast house.

When we entered Old Chickahominy House we were truly impressed.

Old Chickahominy House had the look of an old southern home.  We were delighted to have our first breakfast in Williamsburg, Va  at this southern country house.

Old Chickahominy House also had their very own country store.  Tucked away in the side of the home.  Breakfast and shopping!  Now this was true southern hospitality. get-attachment (1)Of course I did not walk out without buying something.  What caught my eye was the costume jewelry and their price.  I bought two pairs of earrings and a bracelet for all of $18.00.

 Great! Right?

Love the Price when it is Right!

The Crescent Beach Club It’s A Sun-thing

Our friends Barry and Terry introduced us to The Crescent Beach Club, located in Bayville, Long Island.  Well they really did not introduce us to this Beach Club, see it just so happened my husband and I went to dinner there for one of our anniversaries.  I think that it was anniversary number 28.  Who would have thought that we would go back to The Crescent, not to eat but to see a setting sun.

We got to see more than the restaurant we ate in.  The view from the top of the Crescent bar was so perfect. The Long Island beach reminded me more of Florida then Long Island. image imageBarry and Terry, our dear friends.  Barry and Terry are the ones who always get us to gather. They have a way of making  the night at the Crescent a joyful one.   Now Barry is a super friendly guy.  Barry talks to all the patrons at the Crescent.   Barry could run for mayor of the Crescent Beach Club.  Barry talks to all the people like he is their long time friend.image

I mean, here are a group of people Barry  took a picture of.

I thought they knew Barry and Terry.

Then I find out, after we took the picture, that Barry just met them and he decided that we should take a picture with them.  See what I mean.

After the sun has set we have a few drinks and plenty of laughs together.

The Long Island beach is calm in the background.

image When the sun begins to  set the  sky becomes its canvas. The colors in the sky are created by the rays of the sun.  Then within a split second the sun falls behind the other side of the world and disappears.  As  we all watch  this happen,  we  know that the sun will return again tomorrow to repeat its display of power.  The setting sun makes me realize  how we are a tiny speck in the eye of the universe, yet we get to enjoy it’s brilliance.  A brilliance that could not have happened without a perfect designer.
