The sound of the surf makes me smile

I said I wanted to be able to see the ocean from our condo, but maybe hearing it is even more important. Like yesterday morning, the early sun is streaming in on me and the waves are crashing on the shore. Soon, I will wander down to admire them first-hand, but what a great way to wake up. As usual, everyone else is asleep. I just barely caught the sunrise myself. Perhaps I am getting used to the birds' noise. No, I think it was the fact that it was so cool last night, we closed all the windows. 

So far, no bad sunburns. 

Yesterday was boys' day. Of course, it didn't start very early and involved lots of sitting around talking and even time spent on electronic devices. We played tennis (6 of us) really badly, which was amusing and probably good exercise. We ate lunch, a variety of leftovers and some sandwiches. Most of us went to the pool, which is a long walk from here, but not far enough to drive. Nicky went to the gym. His insurance, amazingly, pays for him to get in many gyms and he has been regularly working out. Yesterday was leg day. Those who went in the ocean said he probably would have gotten enough exercise that way, since the wind and waves were strong. The pool was actually a little too cool for Amelia and me, at least without the air being hotter. Kevin went in, though. We spent some time reading or just talking..and then headed back to the condo. Nicky also stopped at the grocery store, thankfully, since we were about out of toilet paper (of course). 

After some showering and dressing, we drove off in two cars to find the mini golf. Apparently, it is closed on Mondays. Boo-hoo! We parked at the fishing pier and Grampa paid $1 each for us to walk very far out...where Molli took a bunch of pictures of different configurations...me and bonney, me and ray, amelia and molli...grampa and me and bonney...you get the idea. Then we went to Sharky's and had a lovely seafood dinner, paid for by Kevin, who didn't even eat any seafood. He found the perfect restaurant, because he and Amelia could eat pizza! After dinner, we managed to play several hands of Cancellation Hearts before some of us went to bed about 10. Molli was whipping up some strawberry margaritas, so not sure how late they stayed up. 

Bonney is up now though and I am ready for breakfast...today is girls' day--what do you think might be on the schedule?
