DOPHIN QUEST
The maintenance men told us that the dolphins come in to the bay around 4:30am. This morning I woke to my alarm at 4:15, heated up my coffee, ventured out in to the light rain down to the bay. I must say I felt a little creeped out walking down there in the rain and dark skies. The area is very well lit, there are 911 phones along the walk-way, I took mom's cell phone and had it poised and ready to dial, plus I took Cathy's van keys and had them between my fingers-ready to poke someone in the eye... My parents taught me well.
Anyway, it was so peaceful and beautiful. The water was like glass and the lights reflected so that it looked like a painting. There were no dolphins though, so I came back up to the condo. As soon as the sun starts to come out, I'm heading back. Guess I'll need a nap today!
We are having such a wonderful time! Cathy and her kids are THE BEST! It has been a priceless bonding experience that I'll remember forever and I feel like our friendship has blossomed into a sisterhood. Of course there are still a few days left, and plenty of time for everything to go south- hee, hee! Our kids are getting a long really well and I couldn't ask for anything better (except if our husbands were here bonding with us :)
MeMaw is AMAZING! I think she is truly relaxed and in heaven like the rest of us. She has been a mother to us all this week! She is doing her thing...laundry, cleaning, keeping things in order and taking care of us, but not to the point of exhaustion like usual. Just enough care giving to make her most happy.
Yesterday was cloudy and cooler but we were still able to swim and play outside enough to make the kids happy. We were all a little burnt so we needed a day to recoup. Last night it stormed for a few minutes and has been steady raining overnight, but it's warm this morning. I think we're supposed to have a mix of coulds, sun and scattered thunder storms today. Hopefully we can lay out and swim most of the day again.
Someone needs to blog more about the "seal spotting", the treasure (pearl) discovery, the hole to China, etc... later.
To our family and friends reading this, we love you all and miss you and wish you were ALL here with us!
