Monday 3/5
Monday–day 9–3/5/12
5:15
Well, got up to find the wind still howling. I feel sorry for the grounds folks who have to rake the seaweed...though last year they had a big tractor machine. May be too much for that, though.
There is a family (the Murphys) from Henderson, MN, whom we met and have chatted with a couple of times.....it is Mom/Dad and three young adult daughters....I feel so bad for them being here just for this week with this weather. They seem to be enjoying it anyway.
7:00 pm
Well, the weather did not improve. It was cool and VERY windy all day. Uck...and I can handle one day, but as of now, the forecast calls for this all week.
We still went for a walk “out front”....stopped and had lunch on a nice sidewalk deli.
Then came back and went for massages! If you can’t be outside, what better place to be??
Now have to plan what to do inside for the next three days....boo hiss!

Day 8 --3/4
Yesterday I had my days all mixed up. For some reason, it was Sunday to me all day. While I was fixing supper, I asked Dale three times if he could find 60 Minutes; each time he patiently told me it was Saturday. On the 4th time, he said “ok....I’ll see if I can find it”....we both laughed...I’m only hoping its not a sign of stuff to come in the (at least near) future!
While the sunrise was gorgeous, you could feel/see a haze of some type....after a couple hours, it got pretty ugly. It reminds me of when the kids were here in 2008. It is nippy and VERY windy..there are whitecaps and well, its just plain ucky We just took a walk & they are still setting up for the Welcome Party, but I sure wouldn’t want to grill in this! Optimistic, I guess??
Later—it is really ugly out....big piles of the seaweed up on the beach and even saw a big fish thrown on the beach with it. Again, reminds me of 2008. I hadn’t seen that type of weather here before and haven’t since....until now.
They did grill and have the welcome party....not as well attended as usual, but whatever.
Since it was not great beach weather, we made a quick trip to Walmart.
That’s about it for today....hoping the weather shapes up, but looks like the forecast is for cooler & windy for most of the week )-:
I’m working on uploading videos to the blog. Finally figured out how, but thus far, it has taken over an hour to upload a 70 second video....hmmmm..
