Gotta Love the Beach

I am generally a neat person, but they are getting the better of me on that front.

Love the beach so much it comes home with us each day 
and lands pretty much everywhere.
 Lucky for me I had the foresight to select sand colored carpets, floors, and counters.

And the cave:
because who wants to be out in the Florida sunshine until mid afternoon?  It is simply too hot, let's face it.

  1. Very smart choice of colors. Enjoy your visit!

  2. Our hose gets a workout every summer. I think the kids have just as much fun with the hose, getting all the sand off, as they do working hard all day getting the sand all over themselves!

  3. Sand colored carpets and a super sucking vacuum. Tools all Floridians employ. That part I don't miss.

  4. Sounds like you have balance. You can always clean when they leave because you will miss them and need to fill the time. Unless you are leaving with them, then you should hire a cleaning service.

  9. Its is part of the zen! Enjoy a little, clean up a lot. On your last day, you will have to become Sergeant Olga, and have them spit shine the house.

    The really cool thing about grandchildren is that they are usually returnable.

  11. It looks like you are all too busy having fun to be neat. That's what vacations are for. I agree Sextant. Cleaning day happens on the last day.

 On September 29, I had the closing on my condo. Everything that was not going to the buyers was out and packed in the ABF moving truck which had by the been taken over to the storage units. Don thought it would take him until Wednesday to finish packing the truck with the help of his son. It took him until late Thursday with Chris' help and mine. Kevin was supposed to help load as well but he was in a mountain bike accident and wrecked his shoulder the week before. That added driving him to doctor appointments to my to do list and dong some shopping for him plus jobs around the house that might need two functioning upper limbs.  We stayed with Kevin on Friday night after the closing and then had a suite in an extended stay place for the coming week. This was the worst possible time to have to get a room because the prices balloon during leaf peeping season if you can even find a room at all. But it was close to the storage units where we were working and it was dog friendly. We ju

Wedding

 Don and I drove to South Carolina to attend the wedding of my step-grandson, Will. Will Will and Katie The wedding took place on Dataw Island, a beautiful outdoor ceremony followed by a reception in the country club. We stayed in a tiny cottage in the historic center of Beaufort, rented from Vrbo. Since the wedding was at 5 p.m., we had time to explore the area a bit. I really like the low country scenery and historical charm. Sitting quietly in the curtained gazebo I was visited by multiple cardinals. They came to visit the feeder, not me, but I can always pretend! How I will always remember Will!

Rest In Peace

 In a summer that has been so wet, Sunday was a reprieve. The humidity dropped and the sun came out. It was a day that could have been special ordered by the family of a friend's husband. It was the day they had arranged his celebration of life ceremony set on the shore of Lake Champlain. I was not looking forward to the gathering, even couched as a celebration. This is a family fraught with relationship tensions. It turned out to be a beautiful day and a beautiful ceremony. A Catholic priest gave a brief but meaningful homily and two Air Force members played "Taps" and presented the American flag to my friend. I am not a Christian, but I do know about Christ Consciousness. That priest's word's filled me with such a sense of peace and love. I hope it did the same for the family members and neighbors who attended.
