Hey everyone!
Been trying to keep up with the thread—ha, ha!
We celebrated lighthouse day yesterday! About 9 of us took our boat and went out to Cape Lookout. Heat index yest was 110. I think we’ve lost our minds! It was beautiful! Water was clear, and we found a patch of shade beneath a pine tree to park our picnic stuff. Took the gbaby—17 months. We played in the water and some of the crowd that can stand a little more heat walked over to the lighthouse/museum. There’s a boardwalk now that runs from the hook side to the ocean side. I didn’t make the trip—I allow myself one stupid heat trick per summer, and going out yest was it!
My niece got in the water eating a piece of KFC. She dropped a bite, and the nibblefish swarmed her. We had a ball after that, holding chicken bones and letting the pinfish eat off what was left. The gbaby kept doing it and saying fish, fish and trying to catch them. He kept picking up the shells and saying rock, broke.
The boat ride out and back was good/a little rough. We ran outside (in the ocean) going out and the waves weren’t bad, but choppy. Same thing coming back even though we came back through the sound. Unbelievably beautiful.
We stayed out most of the day, and I’ve still got a headache. I should buy stock in ibuprofen/tylenol/excedrin. I know better, but I love it so. There’s jsut something about the wind and the water. Haven’t been out to the Cape in years.
Keep thinking things will slow down—another ha, ha. I work full time, I write—a lot. Have the gbaby a couple evenings a week, not to mention all the stuff I get sucked into—volunteering, cannning lately, my kid’s stuff. I do good to even read my pings! Not enough hours in the day!
Ya’ll have a great one!
Sounds like it was a lovely (even though warm) day! A nice memory making day. :-)
Well ..... it is great to see you, GG.
Sounds like you had a fun day at the beach.
I know that you are busy but we miss you and enjoy your visits.
Hope the remainder of the summer is wonderful.
