A Love Letter To My Daddy

Well, Daddy doesn't even look at this blog, and even if he did, he'd say "Heather, I don't want any pictures of me on there!" Well, Dad, too bad! I love you and want the world to know it! HAPPY FATHER'S DAY!!!!!

Thankful on a Friday ('cause Thursday slipped by me again...)

I just have to say that even though thursday is the technical "thankful" day, I'm pretty darn thankful for fridays too. I'm thankful (oh so much more than I can express) that I get to go home, put on my jammies, and, if I choose, not get up again until sunday morning. Oh, how very lovely a saturday with no responsibilities is. So what should I do tomorrow? Should I finish putting away my stuff from my trip? Should I have a massive laundry-fest? Should I go for a long walk and stop at every yard sale I see? Should I go for a joy ride out into the county and buy fresh home grown produce? Wow, I have so much I could do, but nothing I have to do. See why I'm thankful?

I'm Thankful for the Beach!

A lot of you know about my beach trip every year, but for those who don't, I'll explain. My client and her family go to Ocean City New Jersey every year in the first week of June. Two years ago, I was invited along as the attendant to help Carol with Melissa. Well, this is the week this year! Last year it was record-breaking highs, so I got into the water every day, but this year, it's been rather chilly. Don't get me wrong, I'm grateful for the chilly weather. I'd rather have that than the burning hot scorchings we had last year. There have been a few days that were water-worthy, and that's about all I need.
So the first day here was spent taking care of general things like grocery-shopping and getting unpacked. We were told that Sunday would be the only good beach day, so we took advantage of that. The great thing about this is that I always have to go to the beach alone, but this year we managed to get everyone down!

I can't remember if it was that evening or the next that we went to the carnival area on the boardwalk. Carol's sister's granddaughter (Carol's great-niece) wanted me to ride the rides with her, so we had some fun.


For some reason, I decided to do the Double-Shot where they shoot you straight up in the air. Click on this one to see my face-it's priceless.

And here's the stupid sqwaking (sp anyone?)seagull that was trying to steal our funnel cake as we innocently shopped on the boardwalk. He has some balls, let me tell you.

All in all, it's been a wonderful trip. Tomorrow will be our last day here, but alas, all good things must come to an end.

Snip Snip!

That's right folks! I've cut the long locks off! I'm a little sad to see it go, but this new hairdo is so much more summery that for the most part, I love it! And yes, that is my ponytail that I'm holding.
