We're at the beach - yes, two glorious weeks at the beach! We have our GrandAngel here with us, family has come by, and hopefully friends will be by next week. I love this time in North Carolina - time with family, friends and loved ones. It is hectic, and wonderful at the same time - does that make sense?? I've been yearning for this time away, and am embracing, enjoying and savoring every blessed second of it.. It's amazing how time away with loved one changes ones perceptions and straightens out ones priorities...
Life has been rather stressful in Lisa-land these past few months - so to say that I've craved being here in the sun, surf, and pool would be a total understatement! And get this - I have not weighed myself in over a WEEK~! Ouch.. I'm almost afraid to see what that son of a... what that scale has to say when I get home!
When I left home over a week ago I was firmly in "Onderland" - we will see if I've stayed there! I'm not betting the proverbial farm though, I've been eating like a pig and the wine and martinis are flowing much more than the ocean has waves - it's all good though. I figure it this way, one day (hopefully in the distant future) my headstone will say "she lived life to its fullest" - not that she subsisted on carrots, celery and protein water... Time at the beach with family and friends comes once a year.. Just sayin'...
We had a bit of a disturbance here with tropical whatever Beryl. Freaky... We all stayed in and had a glorious time just chillin' in this amazing beach-house. And each of us cooked a course for an incredible meal! However, although Beryl was a "tropical disturbance" I would NOT want to be here for a full blown hurricane. Just freaky, watching heavy deck furniture blow around the deck like it were made of hollow aluminum was enough for me!
Our youngest has gone off to basic training for the National Guard. He graduated college and has gone to Georgia for his basic and officer training. His not being here with us - and being somewhere where I am not has definitely put a hole in my heart.. I am so proud of him, but at the same time my Mother-heart hurts. I've been texting with his beautiful girl-friend. She is taking his being away very hard... Please keep us all in your prayers..
Happy Summer to you! I will post pictures as soon as I can!
Until Next Time!
