Autum At the Atlantic Beach
November 1, 2007
Kathy was up first and did some journaling. When Will got up; we drove over to Rehoboth Beach for a morning constitutional. Many of you probably walk along the beach picking up shells. Well, we walked on the white sands with the waves of the Atlantic crashing in water and pulling back sand picking up feathers. Gulls and plovers seemed to be the ones preening with ducks, geese and cormorants flying overhead. We walked back along the boardwalk. It is a great place when there are so few people and the weather is wonderful. Blue skies, pufferbelly clouds and a warm breeze. We sat on a bench facing the ocean and enjoyed our breakfast, the usual twigs and berries, then walked the main street window shopping. Our favorite was a window filled with various shades of blue glass balls hanging. At Dolly’s Kathy bought two saltwater taffies and enjoyed the texture and flavor while Will got non para something or others, chocolate disks with colored sugars on top.
A stop at the post office revealed the reason it seems more difficult to send unusual packages; there were new polices in May and with computer generated postage the postal worker who sent off a particular package can now be identified. Therefore, postal officers are more cautious about what they let pass through their fingers. Sorry no more unique packages.
We made our way south to the AAMCO transmission dealer where we got the transmission fixed a few years back when we had Jayne and her two sisters out for a trip to the ocean. On the test drive the mechanic said nothing seems wrong with the transmission; it just needs serviced, BUT the rattle and rumble comes from the exhaust system. So seems we will need a new exhaust system….later.
We drove to a little Nature park, Isle of Wright Nature Center, on the island half way over to Ocean City where we made dinner. We ate inside since it got dark and cool. We enjoyed a few episodes of West Wing then did up dishes and watched a few more episodes before turning in. The stars are so bright!
