It's great to hear from you!
This ...Hi Jim! <br />It's great to hear from you! <br />This morning it is pouring ~ the first serious rain we've seen other than some brief showers and sprinkles. The water is finally calm, so if the weather clears, I can see about a paddle board lesson. <br /><br />It is wonderful to leave it all behind. I haven't seen a TV since the 17th!!! Terry sends a little news my way from his iPad, but I couldn't care less! I have never relaxed this long in my life. I'm addicted to momentum and adrenaline. I guess I've been afraid that if I slowed down I might not get rolling again! Just watching the waves roll in has been mesmerizing. I have walked at least 10 miles up and down the beach sinking into the sand every step ~ great for the legs! <br /><br />I've gotten into the water for the past three days because the surf has been lower. Getting out is the challenging part. I don't have the strength to get up the steep beach against the backwash from the waves. I have been a study in gracelessness! My first time I got smacked and knocked around, landed on my hands and knees facing the shore, with my bathing suit half pulled off. Then I got smacked into a face plant by another wave. I finally crawled up the slope enough to break free with my boogie board flapping in the wind. I came out two cup sizes larger than when I went in the water and didn't even realize it. I must have washed a quart of sand out of my bathing suit. I'm going to be working on leg power this next year, let me tell you!!!<br /><br />I think of Sophie every day! There's always a four-legged buddy on the beach somewhere! They have as much fun as the humans. Yesterday I saw a black lab puppy chasing a yellow tennis ball into the water ~ drat no camera! And later I watched it drink down an entire bottle of water in a few seconds! So joyful and cute!<br /><br />Thanks for the well wishes! They're working because we are having a blast!!! Take care!

And you too Louise.....these waves and currents can be treacherous. <br />So nice to think of Soph and you are right she'd be lovin that place and surfin with the best of them!

This is my fourth trip, and God willing, it won't be my last!!! I hope that you are having a lovely weekend with your family.

Every time I see a dog chasing waves or fetching a coconut husk, or running around with other four-legged friends, I can't help but think of you, Sophie! How could I not?<br /><br />Terry is more cautious after his smack down! I got into the ocean finally this morning, and nailed trying to get out. I think I rinsed out a quart of sand from my bathing suit in our outdoor shower ~ we have an indoor one too. <br /><br />I've tried to take a few videos with my new camera, but my operating system on my computer is too old to view them. So we'll see. I have a lot to learn! But I love my new camera!!! We've had up to 8-9 foot waves here ~ unusual for May ~ what wouldn't I give to see 20-30 foot waves! I've been photographing guys and gals surfing ~<br />Terry has accused me of focusing on hunks! Caught in the act!!! LOL!!!<br /><br />I'll have to see if I can find the Canadian Amazing Race. Right now we don't have TV service at home. Our DVR/Cable system went down two days before we left. I no sooner got the hot water heater replaced than Comcast went belly up! They're scheduled to come the morning after we get home. Rats ~ and I was way behind on Y&R!!!!<br /><br />Hope all is well with you and Jim! Take care!
