2015-08-01 - Saturday - Home again

We got home from New Jersey on Saturday evening and since we had no food in the house we went to a Chinese restaurant.

I think I will, mostly in clay.

2014-12-23 - Tuesday - Leo

On Tuesday Karen, Stephanie, and I drove over to Hackensack, NJ to visit my buddy Leo and his family. We went to lunch at The Crow's Nest. It was a nice seafood restaurant not far from his parent's and sister's home. We had some great conversation and caught up with current events.

After lunch we took a ride over to Leo's and my old hometown of Bogota, NJ. I showed Stephanie my old house, Leo's old house, my grammar school, our high school, and several other landmarks. I don't know if she was impressed, but it sure was good to see some of the old haunts.

2014-08-11 - Monday - Early morning walk

Monday morning I went out at 6:30 am for a walk on the beach.  This is our second year at Rehoboth Beach and the first time I have set foot on the sand.  I walked down by the waters edge for about 1/2 a mile and was disappointed to find no shells or wildlife of any kind.  The only thing I saw were two dead sand fleas and some clam bubble holes.  Since I don't sit on the beach and get a tan I don't see any reason to go back down there.

I guess I am spoiled by the beach on the Jersey shore.  It's teeming with life everywhere you look. Ghost crabs, sand fleas, blue crabs, hermit crabs, horseshoe crabs, and small fry. There are places on that beach where you can actually stand ankle deep in baby clams --no sand, just clams. As the tide goes out, the bounty of shells, seaweed, live mussels, and jellyfish is everywhere.  From large bay clam to razor clam shells, scallop shells, snail shells, conch shells, and all manor of crab shells are everywhere.

[sigh]

Not here.

Sunday - Down the Shore

We arrived at the NJ shore on Sunday, July 17.  It was the start of our annual family summer vacation and is always a good time.

There was a dramatic moon rising above the waves with clouds drifting by above and below it so I took lots of pictures.

You can see more of the pictures here.
