Sun tanned toes tickling the sand...cold drink chilling in my right hand

So we did in fact get over to Stub and Karen's for coffee this morning. Stub, who seldom spends any time on the beach decided to grab some rays yesterday. Karen told him to make sure he put sunblock on but being a typical "man" he didn't see the need.....oh yeah...he had a very rough night!! But always the good sport, he did let me photograph him. I love blogging and being able to remember all these silly things we all do.



No parts available on a Sunday in Owego. Renting a car in that area is ridiculously expensive, so Betty and Emma just decided to take the day and chill at Uncle Joe's. Betty spent the day doing homework and as you can see Emma enjoyed bonding with her cousin Matt. These two are (and always have been) a couple of knuckleheads. What they don't come up with.

I'm not exactly sure what they are doing here but it appears they have found a way to turn on the treadmill and use it as a chute. The pictures aren't very clear as they were taken with a cell phone but I still love documenting this stuff for when they are college age!!!


Now it's Matt's turn and as you can see he really got some air!



And here they are trying to find parts for the truck so as Matt told Betty "so we can get you back on the road". I am not sure if he was trying to be helpful or get rid of Emma????


Here is my princess Janna....all grown up and beautiful! She just got braces and even though Betty says she looks great in them she wasn't into showing them off. Can't wait to see her...won't be long now!
Once we found out Betty was going to be delayed another day both of our minds started recalculating. I checked the weather in Virginia Beach (long range forecast) and it is going to actually be better than here in Myrtle Beach. Since Betty had already planned to head home a day early to spend some time with Mike and his family we decided we might all just as well meet there and save her another 14 hours of driving. SO....I called Mike and Rob and they are ecstatic that we are coming early, as now Salt will be there when the moving van comes in on Tuesday. The girls have no school on Friday so they will have a long weekend with all of us. As you can see, Emma (who is SO like her grandmother) has no problem adjusting to whatever happens. We will find some new things for her to do in VA. We will be very close to an aquarium so will check that out for starters. And I am she will be very glad to see Dave (Reinke) again....he picked on her the entire Christmas vacation and boy did she give it right back!
This is the beauty of having one of your homes on wheels. I went to the resort office and they refunded our total payment and the resort in VA was happy to see us come in a week early. We are on the road again as I type. Not sure how far we will get tonight but will be in VA sometime tomorrow.
