Being the in-house barista and omelette-chef in our home, it is always a welcome break to be treated to brunch.
When we stay on Long Beach, we often go to Bailey’s Bakery & Cafe in Nahcotta.
Some folks consider walking a chore, an inconvenience. Not me! To walk anywhere in nature, and especially along the shoreline at Long Beach, is one of my favorite ways to break away from the 24/7 routine and renew myself.

Even ardent walkers need a break now and then!

Jello likes to rest in the shade, as we finish our walk at the dog park!
Being among friends in a relaxing atmosphere with no immediate demands, is an interlude I cherish.
In the above photo, Creighton and our friend Stephan solve the worlds problems, while enjoying wine at Beach Haven, Orcas Island.
I love this photo that dear friend Jocelyn took when Creighton and I visited her at Priest Lake. Here we are toasting being together at Elkin’s Resort.
After a day of romps at the beach, Jello telegraphs to Creighton and me that it’s time to pause our activities and just enjoy being here.
Jello is definitely the star in this one Lindy 😊. And my husband’s name is Bailey so I loved your opening shot of course! All great choices for this week’s challenge.
Thanks, Tina. Jello definitely steals the show this time!
Love the photo of Jello taking a break in the shade. Beautiful set of photos, Lindy. 🙂
Thank you, Amy. Jello will sit there and watch me walk down the hill. Only when I disappear behind a park kiosk will she decide to come find me!
Hi, Lindy. Dogs definitely know how to take a break! I think they’re masters of it. 🙂 I love your silhouette shot and the glasses.
Thank you, Patti. Jello gives me plenty of reasons to take a break! I appreciate your comments.
Superb. I’m the home barista, but I do sunny-side up. (Yeah, Jello! You go dog!!)
