sun rising over the next condo
birds squawking loudly and twittering and peeping and crying
pink near the horizon
hot white higher up
a beautiful day at the beach
no sound of waves

yesterday is already a blur
we drove and drove
we stopped twice
had a great lunch in Lexington SC
at Libby's
we were looking for a different restaurant
and couldn't find it
flounder sandwich
homemade potato chips
coconut cake

my Dad was tired and sore after riding for 8 hours
but we got to the island
after crossing the intracoastal waterway
so many buildings
we had no trouble finding the condo
we are on the third floor
Ray brought everything up
thank goodness for the elevator
beautiful kitchen counters
plentiful cupboards
big refrigerator
room to put away all the food I made
and Amelia's too

walking on the beach
with Maggie the dog
a wedding at the club house
a few people in clumps
but no one swimming
tide was out
so many shells
it was cold wading
