Wow. What a fabulous week! Autumn is my very favorite time of year to visit the beach, but each year usually finds me dodging hurricanes. Fortunately, the tropics were calm this year, and there were no threats. The weather was absolutely perfect. Lazy was the word-of-the-week. Mornings were spent sleeping in, watching morning tv, and drinking coffee with the parental units. Afternoons were spent on the beach reading, napping and long, long walks along the shore. Evenings were spent reading, watching tv, and working on my "homestead" on Facebook. Another candle was added to my birthday cake while I was gone. The big Five Two. On the downside of half a century. I don't feel old at all. Well, not too terribly old anyhow. Debbie Jo and David were camping about ten miles south of us, and I spent the night with them on my birthday. DJ and I did what we do best.... sit outside and talk until bedtime, and the next morning we enjoyed a few hours on the beach. After that, they treated me to a birthday lunch at one of our favorite places, Jimmy Buffett's Margaritaville. Can I just say... YummmMEEE!! It was a perfect vacation, and I enjoyed spending time with Mom and Dad. Sweet times indeed. I did miss my precious grandbabies, though. Whitney kept me updated with Leyland's cute little antics, and I talked to her on the phone a time or two. I was so anxious to see them, and couldn't wait for some sweet munchkin hugs and kisses. The little rascals.... when they got home they were all tuckered out from a big day at the Oconee Festival, and didn't pay much attention to Greemaw. This morning was a different story. Leyland was all about Greemaw! She crawled into bed with me for some special snuggle time. She put her little arms around me and said "I love my Greemaw soooooo much." Okay, I could just go on to Greemaw heaven now. Nothing sweeter in the world.
I'm thankful indeed for such a great week, spending special time with my parents and the best friends ever.
