A wet ALOHA

This is what a GOOD beach day for Michael
looks like... NOT today!
He is even willing to sit at a bonfire
by the beach! and wait for the sun to set... but NOT today!
How about clam chowder by the sea with his parents,
EVEN IF it is cool and we need MORE clothing... and even dodge from the seagulls, in Santa Barbara. NOT today!
We can do beach with kids and toys. NOPE not today!
OK, a game of volleyball would be fun! NOT TODAY!
Trying to explain that we DO have a lousy Saturday over here ONCE in awhile...
I had to work today and Michael was going to go sit at the beach, BUT NO!
It poured rain most of the day. NO BEACH TODAY!
We will hope for a better day tomorrow, even tho we are THANKFUL for the rain! Been a dry year,
not as bad as Atlanta or the west coast with fires... Counting our blessings and looking forward
to a better Saturday NEXT week. Will send pictures. OH YEAH, last week Saturday, Michael, Jesse
and I WERE in the water at the beach in the sun and I saw a body swimming next to me, and up
popped a TURTLE as large as a circle of my arms. He came up to breathe and Michael reached out and
touched his hind paw or fin thingy and the turtle moved over a bit and stayed right there for a few more
waves with us, took a few more breaths and then swam back out to sea. IT WAS a gift! SO cool!
See we DO have great beach days!
