Day 18 - Your Day (yesterday)

Day 18

I am writing this as my day is going, so to say it "was a very good day" is like tempting the fates in my poor addled brain, and to tempt the fates might cause my day to turn around and be extraordinarily awful, so here at noon, I will say that so far, it has been a lovely day. Anybody else suffer with such absurd superstition?  And, I was raised to believe (not from my parents) that being superstitious is the same as being faithless, and that throwing salt over your shoulder after spilling some ranks right up there with murder and theft in the sin department. Forget about it if you ever cross your fingers while wishing on a star followed by, "in Jesus' name."  All hope is lost.

So, any way.....

* Woke up around 6:00. Posted blog, checked emails, looked at FB, said morning prayer, maybe not in that order...possibly in that order.

*  Left condo around 7:00 to see sunrise, ran into son on beach, walked with him. We saw, an out of the ordinary HUGE bug taking, what appeared to be, his last breaths. That creates a dilemma as to whether one should stomp on him, or let nature take its course. We chose the latter. Also, we saw entrails on the walking path. I asked Marshall, "what do you think that was?"  He said, "maybe a rabbit?"  I was thinking giant frog. Then we saw quite the blood trail, which led to a dead rabbit by the side of the road. It was interesting, but astoundingly gross. Too bad the boys weren't with us, for I am sure they would have loved it, judging by the way Simmy thought a dead mouse in Fizzy's gym bag was, "the coolest thing he has ever seen!"

*  Breakfast at Rosie's where the service was somewhat sluggish, but the food quite delicious. A stop at Mango Bay, an all-you-need-for-the-beach store, for goggles and back to the condo.

*  Time at the pool with everyone, including our framily from Minnesota who came down for a few days and surprised me like I haven't been surprised in some time. It is so nice having them here, plus knowing they are enjoying temperatures in the eighties rather than the teens is an added bonus.

* All kids went in for lunch and rest time and I hit the beach to sleep and read and blog. Ate a really big, delicious donut for lunch.

* Supper followed by a rousing card game of war.

* Night walk on the beach

* At last a shower and to bed.

Big day. Perfect day.
