Get ready for some excitement! This is post number one thousand. Yup, before this post, I had written 999 posts on this blog since March 2006, four years ago!
No pressure or anything to make this post a good one. LOL!
Today started off with a good-old-fashioned clean out of the garage. We kind of threw everything in there when we moved in, and it was looking disastrous. I wanted to wear a helmet whenever I entered.
Since we can park in our drive-way, my plan is to make our garage into a work-out room/storage space. I did unpack my bathroom scale very recently, and it has motivated me to get back on plan with my Skinny Tuesdays, by the way! But that's a whole other post! ;-)
The garage still has a long way to go, but at least it's a start. I had Paprika "helping" me during Ginger's nap...so it was a little bit three steps forward, two steps back. But that was part of the fun, too.

After:
After Ginger woke up from her nap, we loaded into the car and went to one of our favorite spots on the planet...the beach and the ocean!
It was a gorgeous day. We brought lots of toys, like the soccer ball...
and stuff for digging and building sand castles.
Paprika quickly found a playmate in a little girl who was on vacation with her family. You know that saying, "She never knew a stranger..." Well, that's Paprika. She makes friends with everyone...
They were BFFs and played together for hours until it was time to head home. Life is so simple when you're 3 and a half. :-)
