It’s been too long since I’ve seen the ocean close up.  I think it was back in 1984!  So I have to admit that when my sister suggested that we spend a weekend at a Myrtle Beach Hotel away from our kids and hubbies, the idea was very tempting indeed!  I’d love to just book a room at an Oceanfront Myrtle Beach Hotel and go with my sister and just relax and do “girl stuff.”  Being a wife and mother is exhausting!

I’d love to stay in one of the Oceanfront Myrtle Beach Hotels that have a condo type of set-up where we each have our own bedroom along with a shared kitchen and living room.  That way if we don’t feel like going out to eat we can eat right there and be comfortable.  And it would be terrific to be able to be right on the edge of the shore, being able to just go out and be right there; no lugging of coolers and folding chairs.  That’s the kind of luxury I could really go for!

My sister came over with about a quart of freshly picked blackberries from her garden.  I’ve never had that many fresh blueberries before!  I’ve been eating them sprinkled over my cheerios in the morning, sprinkled on top of my vanilla ice cream, making yogurt and fruit parfaits, and yummy smoothies.  I suppose I could have baked a blackberry pie, or made blackberry jam, but I really didn’t have the time for that kind of cooking!   Healthy eating never tasted so good!
