strawberry pie and gin beach

on sunday morning we celebrated my and morgana's birthdays. nana had baked an apple pie for morgana and a strawberry pie for me. we had to keep an eye on chanda. she almost ate both in one sitting.

that nonno. he's so funny, isn't he?

making wishes!

after our brunch we dropped greg off at the train station. it was very busy today with people rushing up the platform trying to catch the train before it was scheduled to leave. i thought we were bad with getting to the train on time! so many people were running at the last minute, much to our amusement!

waiting for chanda . .

who was trying to see if the train station art gallery had a bathroom . . (our train station waiting area is an art gallery!).

we went to the health food store instead . . and these two had tofutti cuties . . or rather, morgana had a toffuti cutie (which she ate much faster than chanda . . hence the long face . . ) and chanda had a mocha pie.

naturally good foods organic market . . i think it's changed hands many, many times throughout the years we've been visiting nana and nonno on montauk. there are some friendly workers we really miss . . this year the workers were rather snobby . . 

going for our swim at gin beach . . oh . . how i love swimming in salt water . . 

chanda was reading a book called gymnastics, by dan gutman. 

eating peanut butter and jelly sandwiches for a snack . . hmmm, why isn't she wearing her hat? because chanda is . . but morgana is the one who burns so easily on her cheeks . . funny how i don't catch these things anymore . . i was lost in my little world of taking pictures and knitting.

back at home chanda read martin the warrior by brian jacques to morgana while she worked on her "muffatees" (mittens) for sturbridge.

and in the evening i finally blocked the shawl . . 

i'm glad i picked up the pins from the sag harbor variety store!

amazing! i can't believe it's blocking!
