Off to the beach

I am packing up and trying to get my head around going on a vacation that was a regular deal when I was growing up, but not of my adult life. Going to a beach house for a week, no plan except to enjoy the beach and any visitors who decide to come join me. I have not taken a real vacation in awhile. I have gone to visit people in past life places, or my trip to the basketball tournament this year, but not something like this. And then trying to sort out my options for next week. I will let that "come to me" over my beach week.

Yesterday I did grocery shopping, cleaning house, went for a walk. Then I headed to work for a couple of hours to open mail and see what I could wrap up or update before I take my extended absence from the workplace. Hard for me. Work is always easier than life is... I did order my gas grill to be delivered to the cottage today so even if it is only me tonight, I will grill something. I also need to start my "nature's pedicure" work by walking on the beach and using "nature's health treatment" swimming in salt water. I will see how things look at 5 p.m. to see if I can make it to church and maybe stop at Hallmark Ice Cream on the way home for my first ice cream cone of the season.

After my work yesterday, our office headed to a co-worker's family home. Great night. Her dad is an ex-NHL player, his 88 year old dad had just arrived from Canada and her mom was as always so welcoming and their home is so comfortable and exquisite. Great way to end the night.

I need to start unplugging things and see if I can figure out what I need to bring to the beach house to take advantage of the cable and be able to use my computer...I just don't know but I am keeping my fingers crossed.

Have a good couple of weeks. You may or may not hear from me.
