little random pleasures

went to a couple estate sales on saturday...

had my old garage sale thirst reborn.

i used to drag my little girls around on saturday mornings to all the local garage sales, years ago.

forgot just how much rummaging through other peoples unwanted stuff gives me great joy.

and this time it was dead peoples stuff.

all the more exciting.

although this time we didnt stop for donuts.

found this very fun tiffany blue rotary phone and heavy vintage iron.

the phone actually works and makes that old fashioned mechanical sounding ring.

you know what i am talking about.

and...

walked barefoot on the beach for about 4 miles. 

the morning sun peeking through the clouds.

the cold, hard sand felt good beneath my feet.

picked up all these little treasures and put them in my sweatshirt pockets.

searched in vain for a whole sand dollar.

never found one.

also...

i created the best sandwich.

here it is...

prairie grains honey whole wheat bread 

(has to be prairie grains, and if you are from california, you are outta luck, 

i have mine shipped from utah every week...long story, worthy of its own post)

sliced chicken (not turkey)

swiss cheese (real swiss not that "swiss delicate" stuff)

avocado (haas...has to be haas)

lots of REAL mayo

and sliced cabbage...yes, cabbage, not lettuce.

perfection.
