This weekend was a most amazing time - went vacationing in PEI at a friends cottage.
. Did some lying on the beach, some swimming, a bonfire, BBQ, out for Italian food, went to a drive-in, more swimming, and slept out under the stars (so what if they were covered by clouds, they're still there dammit). It was a relaxed weekend with some good friends (old and new). I definitely was not looking forward to returning to work today. I passed out last night without setting my alarm, I think it was my subconscious rebelling and trying to scam one more day of vacation. Would of worked too, except the phone rang at 7:30.
. Thinking back now, I can't pick out any specific memories that made the weekend so great; it's all rather smushed together into one big happy lump of memories. Got a bit of a halter tan, but that's ok. More excuse to wear halters. The beach was definitely a highlight: swimming in warm ocean water under blue skies, surrounded by red red sand and incredible green grass; walking along the surf with the hot wind trying to blow away a vibrant blue sarong; jelly-fish and broken shells; water fights and reading out loud.
. "The Travelling Pants" really added to our trip. Scandalous what teens are reading these days. The CCO girls had fun reading and being crafty. I cant wait to create my PEI shell necklace. I didn't get any sand this time, but the big bottle from a few years ago should keep me through until next time. Couldn't help but think of dad as we were driving, I give him all credit for my love of roadtrips. I took the ferry home, and we played cards at the terminal waiting for our boat. Reminded me of trips to Maine Isle. Good memories. I'll have a cottage for my family to go to.
. Well, I am at work. I should get some things accomplished. Today's a good day for taking articles to read outside. Or leaving early and taking them to the Gardens to read. Its awfully hot in here.
Cheers to summer!
