Muggy!!
Heat and around 95% or higher humidity is what we are having here. The heat is not bad, around 88 to 90 but the 95% humidity makes it feel a bit warmer than what is actually posting on the "dog" thermometer. (For those of you who have seen a "dog" thermometer, I think we are in the dead dog range).
We picked up 4 of our grandgirls from day camp/care and gave them a ride home and Anna, the youngest, asked me, "So what did you decide about the pool, gramma"?
"Was I thinking about the pool, Anna? "I thought you was deciding if we was going in it?" and yes, I am pretty much a softie, they ran home and put their suits on. They came back and got in the pool along with our other grandgirl, Grace, who stopped in to play in the water also. We adults, sat in our comfy chairs, drank ice water, and yelled at the kids from time to time to keep their hands to themselves and "quit screaming, for the love of Pete!" :0)
Soon, they all went to their respective homes for dinner.....T looked at me and quietly asked if we were now able to play in our pool.
Ahhhh, cool, clear, water (water) as Marty Robbins would say, or croon. We played for awhile and I mentioned that I really needed to go to the beach and we should go soon.
Sooo, T made the spontaneous decision that we should go to the beach this evening. T is the grounded one so I am indeed impressed when he decides to do something in the spur of the moment. We dried off, slipped on some street clothes, grabbed our tandem beach chair and headed down Highway 17 in the silver jelly bean toward our little spot at North Topsail (pronounced Topsul) Beach. It was, of course, so much cooler there. The wind was unusually strong and the waves were capping quite far out and pounding the beach. Great! It was near dusk when we arrived and we set up our chair, poured a couple of glasses of liquid refreshment and watched the wild sea in front of us and a lightening storm high in the clouds to the north of us. We sat and talked and watched until dark and then returned home relaxed and at peace with the world.
No one phoned, no one posted a note on our door, it is very probable that no one even knows we were gone, Every so often one of our kids, usually the younger 19 year old, makes the statement that "we are so predictable" and "you guys never do anything"... sometimes we defend ourselves but mostly T and I just make eye contact and give each other that little smile and keep it to ourselves. (I think it gives them comfort to know we are "always here for them. :0)
Once again, my hair is an out of control curly mess and I am peaceful in spirit.
