Dog Days

Well, I am sad to see summer winding down, but it has been lovely. I just returned from a week in Ocean City with my good friend Colleen. We spent most of the time doing nothing, which I highly recommend. While we missed our good friend Diane, we had a chance to check in with her, and she is doing fine after her surgery.

I tried to go for a 30 minute walk along the beach most of the days. I saw some great sights: two small red-headed children setting up an umbrella; an older brother “protecting” his younger brother from the ocean as it filled the hole he was digging; sandpipers scurrying along the water line; all kinds of fishing; and many more. The white marlin competition was happening, but we didn’t venture down that way. There were enough intense fishermen right by my condo.

One day we walked up to the Bay Side Skillet and had an amazing breakfast, but most of the time we cooked in the condo. We did go out to celebrate my birthday (I had my yearly mudslide . . or two), and we went to the Boardwalk and to the movies twice. All in all, it was a fantastic vacation.
