Double Vision

Linking up with Cari and her Theme Thursday: DOUBLE

Yesterday I drove from work towards my midwife's office a few towns away, only to get the call that my appointment was cancelled (again) because a woman was in labor (again) and my midwife was stuck at the hospital (again).  

She is a one-pony show, and does all the office visits and all the labor and deliveries, so needless to say, she's a busy bee.  And even though my initial reaction to the news that yet another woman had gone into labor during one of my appointments was "How rude!", how can anyone fault a baby for being born?  I mean it would be nice if they did it on someone else's time, but sheesh ;)

So, I turned my car around and was heading back home when I realized that this cancellation meant I had time to take a quick 3 mile walk all by my lonesome before I had to meet Phil at the soccer fields for practice.  

I pulled into a town where I lived for one beautiful summer, and took a stroll past the ocean, and beaches and out to a lighthouse, where I saw these two (or some could say "double") little cottages that made me feel like I was back in Ireland.

It's just bathrooms.

And the gorgeous lighthouse:

Paradise.

On my way back, I passed by this street with not one, but two (double!) signs - one normal, and one that was a big anchor (can you tell this is a coastal beach town?)

After the soccer practice and dinner, I had to eat two (double!) servings of my (yes Mine All Mine) Double Chocolate Milanos.  Mmmmmm.

And you know what happens when you eat double portions of double chocolate cookies, right?  Your belly doubles in size:

You've been warned.
