So Glad You Asked

Huh?  Oh, what did I do this weekend?  Well, after hibernating all day Friday and most of the next day, Ross tried to coax me out of the house late Saturday afternoon.   I agreed to go, but I warned him that I was not about to change out of the sweats and tee shirt that I had been wearing since bedtime, Thursday night.

So we figured we would go see what Isaac was up to.

Even at the late hour of 5:00, the skies were blue, the sun was out and it appeared to be a perfect beach day.

Ha, there he is.  The always present, extremely patient and ever hopeful fisherman

I wondered how long he had been sitting there. And what does he think about while he is sitting there?

Apparently,  the only thing he can catch is his lure and he’s even having trouble hooking that.

Time to head on home. Looks like it’s take out pizza tonight.  

The gulls aren’t ready to call it a day, though.

Hurricane Isaac was stirring up some rough surf here in Surf City.  

 Six to eight foot swells didn’t stop these guys.  

Crazy, Crazy, Crazy!

Ross was sitting on a bench at the top of the beach.  I was down by the water taking these photos.   I turned around to see what Ross was doing and he was gesturing and yelling to me.  “Are those guys alright?”  He had his phone out ready to dial 911.

We kept watching to make sure they weren’t in trouble.  We were very relieved as they finally made their way out of the water and onto shore.

It doesn't matter what time of day, day of the week, or season of the year, there is always something interesting and beautiful to see at the beach.

Today, I  showered, washed my hair and even put real clothes on.  

I promised her I would come.  

I'm so glad I did :)

I want to give a shout out to Anne.  She ran a 5k race in the Colon Cancer Alliance's Undy 5000 on Saturday in honor of Joe.  She was one of the top fund raisers.
She wrote about her experience in a touching post here.


So, what did you say you did this weekend?

I have created a page for Anna's Diary.  It can be found under the Tab titled Anna's Diary.

I have posted all of the entries to date there, starting with January 1, 1929.
