Ocean Breeze

The weekend just had to end. We spent it on Chincoteague Island. We swam, went sightseeing and generally goofed off for two days. The seafood was great and the room nice. The drive over there was very scenic and would be worth it anytime. Of course, we had a big contest of who was the whitest and Princess won. Yes, returning to the hustle and bustle of everyday life was very hard. This is definitely a trip we will do again, now we just have to figure out when.

Sunday was the first night of the Sunday Night Bowling league. After a few aches and pains, we managed to split our games. My average was lower than normal but I have 35 weeks to pull it up. No since getting in a hurry. The kid’s league will start on Sept. 9th.

Lady got some rest and had fun especially when it came to shopping in the island stores.

#1 is ok and just trying to decide what to do with his apartment by Sept. 17th. He loved his cookies.

#2 enjoyed himself and Princess thought he was so special. He was able to dodge the jellyfish when he swam in the ocean. He also learned I pick good wine to drink. Another thing he learned was that there is more to eating than fast food. The "Seafood Dream" was great!

Princess also had a great time. She managed to wear out the shutter on the camera. I think most of them were about her. She is now primed for the cruise and eager to go. Her room was worked on all weekend, is minus a few holes in the wall, and painted a shade of blue. Now the bets are on as to how long will it take her to move everything downstairs and empty her old room. Booger had his first obedience lesson and he did not learn a thing. Does that surprise me? No.

If you ever go, only book two nights, they will offer you the third or more for half-price.

Michael Vick belongs in jail ... let us not turn this into a black vs. white issue. He gambled and fought dogs, it is just that simple.

I will be glad when the elections come around. This Congress and White House is so political driven that they believe this is all about them and their party. It is time for America to speak and run half of the politicians out of town.

I agree with the miner's families. Give them closure and find the men. Do not leave them hanging and wondering if they were alive when the mountain was sealed.
