we like to “keep it real” around here
so I thought it would be an appropriate
follow up
to my last post
referring to our
beach bliss
that I make you aware of a few things
that might be considered by some
as
beach blunders..
to name a few:
Tuck came down with a summer cold
our first night
and was draining green stuff
that would have scared the Boogie Man
Pop had a recurring flat tire on his bike..
so he would ride and pump and repeat…
“Dog flies” is what the locals called them
“mean” is what I called them
flies on the beach
so bad a couple of days
that if you weren’t doused in bug spray
or in the water
you couldn’t stand to be on the beach
 |
| they ATTACKED MIL |
I chose to douse myself in bug spray
so much
that I ended up with some sort of funky rash under my arms
which was NICE when you
throw in salt. sand. and sunscreen.
and finally
one night at the bath house
MIL gave a “yoohooo…” when we heard someone
assuming it was the rascals
only to get a
“yooohoooo, I’m packing…”
from a TALL older woman
who entered the bath house
carrying a 20 oz Bud Light and a PISTOL!
with a Q-tip hanging out my ear
MIL quickly gathered our goods
we smiled
offered her an awkward giggle
and were on our way
back to camp
so you see…?
Life’s full of
..ups and downs
bliss or blunder
I choose BLISS!
