Beachin'! in A New Beginning

This morning my sister Sandy and I are going to hit the beach! :o) It is only supposed to be in the 60s today, so we aren’t planning to sunbathe though. We are gonna walk the boardwalk, maybe walk some on the beach, look in some of the shops, and of course HAVE LUNCH. An outing’s not an outing without lunch!!!! :o)

Yesterday I went to my bff Wendy’s house, Gee, it was the first time we’ve been able to get together since the first week of March. But that’s how it is when life gets busy....and both of us have busy lives with lots of family things, other things, and a few health-related things. Since February, she’s had cataract surgery on both eyes! The surgeries were very successful and she said she hadn’t even realized how poorly she’d been seeing for years, until suddenly she became able to see GREAT again. :o) Now she doesn’t even need her glasses!

I have gotten another epidural injection scheduled, not this Friday coming up but the next one (the 28th). At least that moves me pretty close to the three month mark. Getting it not ‘til then pretty much assures I will feel GREAT when we go to Carrie’s, as soon as my school lets out for the summer. It’s getting closer and closer, this SUMMER VACATION. I am so excited about it! It was my idea to make a two-day trip out to Michigan, and pick a fun place to stop overnight on the way. Joe picked Niagra Falls! I have been there, but it was AGES ago, when I was a kid. Joe’s never been there. I love going places that are new to us!

(continued next day…) Sandy and I had such s great day at the beach. We walked the entire length of the Boardwalk end-to-end and then through the park and the streets where the cool shops are. We went into every single one that appealed to us, and lookety-look-looked at every neat thing in them (both of us managing to not buy anything!!) and by the time we even thought to check the time it was 1:30 already! That’s much later than we gals normally stop for lunch! We went to the British Fish & Chips place for lunch and then headed home. I love that Sandy likes to do the driving. I certainly don’t mind driving to Rehoboth, but when my legs and ass are giving me trouble, it’s nice to be free to find a way to sit that’s comfortable.

Today I’m going over to Carol’s. We might go walking somewhere but will FOR SURE go out for lunch. I won’t be gone nearly as long as I was yesterday, since anyplace we go won’t be as far away as the beach. When I get home, I have mowing to do and a daughter to call, so this day has a pretty full agenda. Tomorrow, who knows? I might not go anywhere at all! :o)
