As you read this I am probably on the beach, or in a pool or walking the boardwalk or looking for shells. Getting away with a few fun girl friends is medicinal!
Don't you love having friends that will laugh with you until midnight ... or to cry with you until you can't cry anymore? Or friends that are part of a big collective memory making adventure?
My little getaway is a perfect diversion... remember the eye surgery I had scheduled a couple of weeks ago?
It was canceled and it is now scheduled for this Tuesday. I am a little anxious for it... I have had too long to think about it! Hopefully I'll be home to serve up the soup from the slow cooker Tuesday evening. Please say a little prayer for me.. again! Thanks!

Linda at LIFE AND LINDA made these delicious SKILLET CORN GRIDDLE CAKES. What a yummy appetizer... I would make them as a side dish too!
