A Beachy Day and a Rainy Day

When I woke up Monday morning it was an absolutely beautiful day - The sun was shining, it was clear and blue, and it was supposed to get warmer later. Tuesday was supposed to be just as nice or nicer.

I had an urge to go to the beach! Just felt like a beach day! So threw a few things in a bag and off I went that afternoon.

Tuesday I woke up and drove to Ocean City, NJ and settled down on the beach - Ahhhh the ocean - just love sitting there reading and staring at the ocean. It was a warm (high 80's) clear blue day with a light breeze -


I couldn't believe all the people on the beach - guess I figured there would be a few people but it was pretty full - this area wasn't quite so congested!

Spent the day on the beach and then decided to walk on the boardwalk - great day for just walking! It's funny the people you meet, I went into one of the jewelry stores and was looking around and a woman came up and asked if she could help me - I was looking at the fused metal with different pics and such, and she was telling me the woman makes whatever kind you want and did I have any hobbies! I said yes i did rug hooking, but was just "browsing" (window shopping is about what i can afford these days! LOL) So she starts telling me how she took a class in Ephrata, PA (where I was just at last Friday!) - she couldn't remember the rug hooking teacher - and was telling me how she hasn't finished her project yet, and that rug hooking just wasn't for her. Just too funny - found a person who actually knew was rug hooking was in a store on the boardwalk in NJ! She just moved to OC from Hanover, PA. Just a small world. Had myself a slice of pizza and then later stopped and got an ice cream cone to enjoy during my walk. Just a beautiful day to be out and doing nothing! Was going to go back to the beach on Wednesday but it was overcast and threatening rain so I just came home. Had a good time and am ready to do it again!

Today it is overcast and we just had a few showers and downpours. So what else is there to do but follow the kitties around with a camera!

Here I found Riley playing with his "basket" (cat bed) on top of the hutch where he likes to nap - He loves to attack the basket - if you look close there are a lot of teeth marks in it!

Oops - guess who tossed his basket on the floor!

I promise Mom I wasn't throwing it at Miles!

"Okay Mom, I promise I won't throw the bed on Miles again - can I leave the corner now?"

I think someone took the camera and took a shot of himself!



Okay leave me alone - trying to take a nap here - just don't know where to put my long legs!

Went searching for Miles - turned on the bathroom light - and look who I found (he oftens sleeps on the sink counter - the reason we have this little rug in there for him,

"Hey Mom, now that you woke me up - can I have a drink please?"

Mmmmm - I love water:

Hope everyone is having a good week
