As you might have noticed in some of my blogs, there is a wonderful family that lives here in Ceiba and helps us out with both hospitality and caring for the teenagers, the Satterlees. Almost every Saturday we eat lunch and then hang out at their house to share time and have a change of scenery (they live in a quieter neighborhood in town).
This past Saturday, Scott wanted to take us out to a pretty nice restaurant on the beach in Ceiba, "Guapos," and then spend the afternoon on the beach in front of the restaurant. As any of you know, I am awful at taking breaks, awful. So I of course worried we would not have enough time when we got back for them to get dinner before youth group, what about their project for school, etc. I definitely fulfill the over worrying maternal stereotype in my role as the girls caretaker. Eventually though, we decided, why not.
So we had a picnic in a nearby park, then headed to the restaurant for sodas and some Frisbee and volleyball on the beach. It turned out to be one of the most relaxing and pleasant Saturday afternoons yet in La Ceiba. We all enjoyed, and headed back before it got dark with plenty of time for all the things we had to get done that afternoon.
I therefore dedicate this blog to Scott and Janet Satterlee, for forcing me to take a break, and granting my self and the girls a truly beautiful afternoon. Thank you both.
