whew-- what a week. we had a blast at the beach--but now back home. it is taking me a while to get all "blogger caught up" I have all of them ready to post just slow getting it done....

anyway--today's POTD reflects where this last week has been --- we drove 350+ miles on two Saturday's in a row (to SC and back to TN) and some driving while there....we didn't do much driving while we were there but here it is--- the most we paid for gas was $2.34 gal in a little town in SC so that wasn't too bad

and Mr S playing checkers with Brad at Cracker Barrel where we had dinner

Warning---- photo intensive post ahead. This is our next day at the beach. It was cold but not as cold as it was the day before. this is the little inlet right beside our condo. We loved watching the wildlife and the colors of the sea

I'm having trouble deciding which of these will be my POTD--- love them both

and i think they are both cool.

we walked on the beach The waves were mightily and we saw lots of people surfing. We walked to the state park and enjoyed going out on the pier. Still cold

5.15.09 Friday

we leave for the beach in the morning between 7:30 and 8 am YEAH!!!! eight hours of driving and 7 days of fun. We really need a vacation and cant wait to get there. it has been rushed trying to get everything done and ready.

tonight we met Mark and Lois at the Good Ol' Days for dinner and then they came back here for a short visit. About the time we left the house and got in the car we had some of the worst rain ever--including hail. it was raining so hard the rain was jumping back up into the air. it was going pretty high too . the picture isn't very good but it is the water in the pond "jumping" out of the pond

.............and the countdown begins..7 days(or 168 hrs, or 10080 minutes) until our vacation officially starts! then there will be 7 days 9or 168 hrs, or 10080 minutes) of fun and relaxation. I have several places in mind that i would like to eat (the Alamo again, the pancake house across from the resort, Bennetts,Krispy Kreme,The Best Italian Food)..well there are several of them.


Today, thank goodness, work was better. Well not really but at least it is over. I managed to fly under the radar all day for the most part. There were a couple of times I had to communicate with the "Boss"--blech. I am so tired of that place.
