lobster diving

Yesterday we took a drive up to Rockport so that Zan and his brother could go lobster diving. Yes, they actually put on wet suits, and dive down into the water to catch lobsters with their bare hands. They get a diving license every year and probably catch around 15-25 lobsters in a given summer.

It’s pretty sweet!

I like to go up to the beach with them on these days, to just sit in the sand with my book and enjoy the peace and quiet. They often go diving in a cove that’s off the beaten path of the popular beaches.

To be up in Rockport is a true sign that summer is here. Let’s savor it while we can.

I recently picked up this fun cupcake book at Costco. It was so delicious looking I couldn’t help myself.

That’s one of my greatest downfalls in life. The book section at Costco. There are just so many books that catch my eye, I always feel like I want them all.

Well I gave in the last time I was there and bought this fun cupcake book. It has 39 different delectable looking recipes and comes with 9 silicone cupcake molds, which is very environmentally friendly– a plus!

Of course, I wouldn’t mind having an adorable jar like this one for my paper cupcake cups collection:

I love it! Now all I need is a celebration to make cupcakes for. Hmmmm…
