view from the chair


A Day at the Beach

Wake up to see the sunrise
out on the horizon
with my head still on the pillow.

Quiet time out on the deck
as the sun gets higher in the sky.

Down to the beach
for an early morning walk
and dip in the waves.

Settle into the beach chair to read
 and watch the people at play.

Up to the pool for a cool dip
and aerobics (ha-ha).

Shower and lunch are next.

Today,
Bubba and I head out to 
 look at nurseries for white crown of thorns.
He loves this plant.
 There are some growing here at this condo.

Back down to the beach for the afternoon,
Pretty much just reading,
enjoying the breeze,
 and the sound of the waves crashing on the shore.

Up for another shower
and then supper preparation.

Back to the beach for a late walk
and some bird feeding.

In bed at 9:00.
Exhausted.
Asleep by 9:15.
No better sleep than at the beach!!

Tomorrow we go home.
Vacation is over.
Back to the real world that is nothing like the beach.
Sad to leave,
but more good memories to tuck away in my heart.
It has been a great week.
