Peach Ale & Pineapple Barbecue Chicken Thighs are easy to make starting on the stove top and finishing in the oven for a delicious and simple meal
I bought a Kayak.
Well, two actually. Chris got one too because we all know that I should not be out and about rowing around a lake without supervision. Although I did have a life jacket and a whistle.
I have to tell ya that getting in and out of a kayak from a boat dock without falling in the water is a heck of a lot harder than it looks. Let’s just say it’s a good thing Chris was there and the neighbors got a good laugh. I’m just really glad they weren’t home to witness my exit strategy because that wasn’t pretty.
Once I got going I really had a blast. There is nothing quite like paddling around a lake while looking at the trees, birds, and pretty houses to quiet the soul. It was nice to just be. To work and row, then float around peacefully with the sounds of the water and feeling the perfect breeze.
It was a magical day that I plan to put on repeat. It’s also a beautiful way to begin healing a broken heart.
