just so you know, i started this post over a week ago! geeze! the internet was never strong enough for me to finish this post...so here it is, ten days later...
hello from paradise! living at the beach has been fabulous. just what we needed. we have been sleeping in, living at the pool in the afternoons, enjoying our books, and cooking late dinners. sad to say that i finished the swan house in about a week. it was like saying good bye to a best friend. it was such a fabulous book! i highly recommend.
the pool has been relatively quite, which is just how we like it. the most action the pool has seen is when these three families with like twenty kids show up for a little bit and then thankfully head to the beach. at first we thought we were watching an episode of sister wives {have you seen that show?!?}. three mammas and one daddy. fortunately the other two dads finally showed up and revealed to us that it was actually three separate families. anyways, we've also been riding around town and visiting some shops. oh, and getting ice cream, of course!
the beach has been nice too. the only problem is that the path that our street uses and the one that i have used since i was seven years old is "closed" do to some birds nesting. really? okay, a little hard for me to follow this rule, but we obliged. thankfully, there is another path about 50 yards over so it hasn't been that big of a deal.
we did enjoy watching the herons stalk the shores for some fish to eat. i wish you could have seen this guy when he finally got himself a fish! it was hilarious. he cocked his head to the side, got real close to the water, and BAM snatched a huge pin fish and guzzled it down his throat. my favorite part was when he washed it down with a little sea water. so funny!
