It was another good day. 

I got up and looked in and KS was gone already so I flipped on the bed and chatted with RJS and the cats in her room for a while. Then it was out to the living room for coffee and tea for more talking and snuggling with the cats. 

Then off for some breakfast and Old Navy,  she loved everything I got so we went in search of treats. She did get a fabulous shirt that was very her. Off to Target, I needed a baby shower gift. 

The request was for books, diapers and wipes, done! I even got a book for the big brother to be! One of the books was The Ugly Duckling, the cool thing is it was in English and Spanish. I was inspired to get SDL The Three Little Pigs, since she’s prepping for a trip in the fall to a Spanish speaking county. 

Of to the baby shower for CC, she looks and feels great! It was a very nice shower,  we played one game, but I enjoyed how we started. We all talked about how we met CC and one thing we love about her. That was very sweet and touching, really nice to hear what everyone else had to say. 

It was a nice shower,  everyone was very nice and I got to meet CC’s sister,  who’s been in the states for a while. 

We played one game, then we all wrote something cute on a diaper for her to look at when she’s changing diapers. 

After the shower, went to SDL’s, waited for SDL, Miss A and DJL. Dinner and then bath time while I drove DJL home,  back to the house and snuggle with Miss A, talking talking to SDL while Miss A feel asleep.

This is my favorite time, just the three of us,  talking, snuggling and just enjoying each other’s company. 

Now,  talk to you then crash,  alarm is going off early!

Isn’t that what they say? Well, if you all me, it’s true! Good thing I’m moving to an island! 

Today was a good day at the beach, better than a walk in the park, sorry, I couldn’t help myself. 

I talked to GES the other day and she said they might be going to the beach and she’d let me know when they would be heading out. I got a text this morning and away I went. 

JK’s mom, he’s a friend of ACS, has a house in Nantasket a block from the beach, paradise. I got there,  changed into my suit and headed down to the beach and surprised EJS and MGS.

There was laughing, silliness, splashing, boogie boarding, body surfing, shell hunting, foot burying, walking, napping, running from the waves, jumping into the waves, hanging out, talking and having a great time. 

There is great people watching at the beach, we saw families, teenagers, old, young, silly, goofy, even what someone called the beached whales! These are a group of, let’s just say round, older women who line up their chairs to face the sun and their skin looks like tanned leather,  you know they’ve been doing this for centuries! and every once in a while they get up two to three at a time to put their feet in and splash water on themselves. 

It’s a really nice beach, the water is clear, the people are nice and it’s not too crowded. 

I think I’ve told you how my brother-in-law knows a lot of people, right? He’s from Massachusetts, went to summer camp in Massachusetts and went to UMASS for college. 

That being said, he runs into people he knows everywhere. He and GES went for a walk and ran into three people he knew, either from camp or college. JK went to the same camp,  that’s how they met, so you can imagine what it’s like!

We even got to see a family we became friends with that we met at Atlantis so many years ago! That was fun, the kids have gotten so big!

GES and I finally packed it in scout 5pm, went back to the house to take showers and hung out on the porch while we waited for everyone else. It was nice sitting on the front porch watching and saying hello to everyone walking home from the beach. 

Everyone else got there about 630, took quick showers and we headed out to get some dinner. We chose a place on the water, it was lovely.  As we are getting out food, the manager asks if my brother-in-law is ACS, turns out…they went to camp together! Go figure! Then a couple walked by who used to live next door to him growing up! Seriously people,  what are the odds?

After dinner, a quick trip to Old Navy, then time to say goodnight.

And that is what I will say to you. Goodnight.
