Oasis

Last week, with the help of friends, Cap and I constructed a brief, yet nourishing, oasis for ourselves.  

In the wake of a nor'easter which dumped over a foot of snow in our area, the kids house-hopped three times and were happily occupied with playing indoors and out.  Our friends did all the driving about so were kid-free for seven hours.

Cap and I had some quiet and separate computer time and then chilled out together for a bit before heading out for a late lunch.  We have a new go-to spot, a Mexican joint right in town, called Habaneros.

I see both boys in him here.

After eating our fill we took in Avatar in 3D which we both enjoyed.  A sensual feast in its own right.

It was a day of respite, much needed.  Now that it's in the rear view, I'm a touch wistful, but mostly grateful.
