Beachy Goodness

Today was a wonderful day.

We went to the beach, as per usual...but today my BFF, Nicole and her husband, Michael came...in addition to my brother like cousin. Also, our usual beach partners Maria and Alfredo were there and they brought family too, so we had a nice big group. The waves were big, the sky was blue, lots of boogie boarding, eating, laughing, and SUN. I'm a little burnt. There is no feeling as wonderful to me as swimming in the ocean, and it looks like Magnolia is taking after me, cause she is a little fish with her boogieboard.

Then home, homemade pizza (I made the dough this morning) and now some good ol' computer time.

Applesauce

I thought the first post should be introductory, explain why I decided to start this blog, why I decided I wanted to have a new blogspace away from myspace, different than the other blogger account I haven't used in 3 years, one that could be business, personal, crazy, silly, informative, whatever. But I always do that, I always spend so much time doing what I feel like I should do instead of what I want to do.

Instead, I am going to talk about applesauce. Our neighbors' apple trees are super productive this year, so we collected and made applesauce tonight. It is SO tasty! But a giant pot of apples only made 3 quart jars plus one 8 oz jar of applesauce. Granted, a quart of applesauce really is a lot, I maybe should have considered not using such big jars. Regardless, we didn't have to add any sugar at all and it is incredibly delicious. Really.
