Gone To The Beach



Picture from Desktop Pictures


We're off to the beach. Tomorrow, my husband, two of my children, my son-in-law, five of my grandchildren, and I head for northwest Florida. Yes, all ten of us will be invading Florida. It will never be the same. We have two condos, next to each other. My daughter, her husband, and their three boys will stay in one, and Grandpère and I, my son, my granddaughter, and my grandson will stay in the second condo.

Very likely I will not have internet access, and I will not be posting during the next week. I'm turning off my comments during my absence. If I find that I have easy internet access, that may change.

My time on the beach is mostly limited to early morning and late afternoon. I love walking on the beach around sunset. During the day we do other things or just lounge around and relax. I'm taking lots of books and magazines with me.

Blessings to all. Y'all take care, and be good while I'm gone.

UPDATE: Tomorrow we head back home. We've had a lovely time. The cousins, especially, enjoyed being together. Everyone got along, thanks be to God. Grandpere was a little frustrated that everyone did not fall in immediately with every one of his control-freaky plans, but he got over it. He got over everyone but him sleeping late, too. Vacations are for doing what you like, right?

There's something quite calming about watching and listening to the surf come in and go out, time and again, world without end. Amen. 6-28-07

  3. Clumber, thanks. I've missed y'all, too. What was that partial back nudie picture about? Bad dog!

    Dennis, I'd be lying if I said I wasn't just a teensy bit hurt that you didn't make the effort. :o(

    Nevertheless, I forgive you because I'm a good Christian woman.

  5. Nudie Pictures? Oh my! That was a clinical admission picture of a severe sunburn, and it put me in mind of my favorite Louisiana Grandmère and made me hope and pray fervently that she was enjoying her beach time, using the proper SPF ointments and salves and wearing a broad rimmed hat and long sleeved beach garb, and reminding me that the interetubes misses her terribly!

    I presume there was similar chastisement for Eileen's nudie pictures? Shocking!

    woof?
