Sweet Sixteen


Surfside Beach, Texas-March 2011

I got to be for real...I am so tired of the snow and this bitter cold.... I am much more understanding of people who snap these days. I need to win the lottery or something. I want to be a snowbird, dammit.

I know, I know...same bitch, different year.

In sixteen more days I am gonna be in the sunshine, I am going to be at an ocean I have not seen yet, and I am going to be with good company.

Sixteen days feels a little like half a century today.

So today, I am going to share some beach photos...kinda boost my morale. Because today, sitting here looking out on this mass of white crap, while doused in muscle rub and hovering near the furnace vents...my morale is pretty low. I just want to go to bed and wake up when the sun is warm again.

I think I might have been a bear in my past life.


Texas-again-Mainly because I don't want to have to plug in a different drive that has my older stuff on it. Yes, I am that lackadasical today.
The very best part of being at the ocean for me is the sound of it. The sighing and crashing of the waves is like listening to a cherubim choir. I can't be still for long at the beach. I love to walk along the edge of the water and let it pour over my feet while I contemplate the sheer massive size and all the life, life we have not yet fully discovered, that is contained in its dark secret places. It makes me feel humbled to be gently caressed by such a monumental entity.


Yeah, all of these are from Texas

The avian life that calls the shoreline home is just delightful. Plovers, Sandpipers, Gulls, Pelicans, Heron, Ibis....I love Galveston in the late Winter and early Spring because of the migration of these kinds of birds. I can't wait to see what I will find in Southern California.



And I will be able to take an updated photo for my profile here! Guess I should give myself a pedi, eh?

Sixteen Days- Feels like forever to an impatient soul.

I have to do my own pedis. I'm not ticklish, but I cannot stand to have someone touch my feet. It is one of those weird quirks I have lol.

You would think we live next door to each other..White crap, windchills, heat vents..the wife is even rubbing heat on my shoulder because I have a trapezius muscle strain...I start physio on Friday.

I am envious of your upcoming "fun in the sun"!

I am absolutely fed up with snow. It isn't really even the snow, it is this God awful cold.
Don't be jealous! Hop on Kayak and find some cheap tickets to somewhere warm and go spend a weekend baking your bones in the sun!

i remember the Texas coast in November of 2009. it was cool and cloudy and windy, but it wasn't Wisconsin winter. and that was GREAT! i hope time flies like the wind until you head west. then i hope it drags it's ass while you're there.

When the tides of life are against you

And the current upsets your boat

Don't think of things that might have been

Just lay on your back and float

You and me both darlin'. I loved Galveston, there were migrating shore birds all over the place when I was there. I keep meaning to go back, but life is fuller than usual right now. Kiddo is getting ready to graduate and leave for college, I have the two little snot monsters to care for,(I swear, that little one is a regular germ incubator.) and Mama is preggers with #3...Both of my kids are each expecting another one. There is always something shaking here at Shady Acres.

those 16 days will pass quickly,but not as fast as the ones in the warmth. they'll disappear like a fart on a windy day

The sweet thing about that is by the time I get back we should not have much of Winter left to deal with. It will be a win-win!
