a summer monday....

Here we are during our Monday stroll. Notice all the nice green growing things in the background. How great to have COLOR in our world again! The wind was blowing too ferociously today out on the Spit, so we opted for our town walk. Along the way, we saw our friend the "fabulous-flower-growing southern belle", and stopped to talk a bit. No fab finds today. The vegetation is filling up the ditches and side lots. We may have to wear our hip-waders one day and do a muddy ditch walk to find our weekly treasure.

Gas has hit $4.67 a gallon here. Ouch!




I snapped a couple photos along the end of the Spit later in the afternoon, after a quick fishing errand run for "the Mr".. A fierce wind was still whipping. The sun reflecting off the water was so gorgeous. Gawking tourists meandered along the Spit shops and harbor area, walking at a snail's pace. Locals buzzed by, being polite to stop for visitors crossing the Spit road, missing the other season's vacant look at the same exact scene. I guess it's time for us to share our little hamlet with others. Homerites are quick to say they avoid the Spit when at all possible in the summer, because of the crazed pace. It is both festive and frustrating. My pet peeve is all these condos going in at the end of the Spit. Who asked me if they could build 'em there? They have the best view in the entire world, out their windows....but they are blocking everyone else's that drive out to the end. Disgusting, is all I can say. Ugh.




It was another great Mon. night with my shrinking friends. But then, there is the dilemma of what to do when one's pants are waaay too large. The perfect Homer remedy to any situation, is get out the 'ole duct tape! Works like a charm to fix and alter any need you may have. Modeling this beautiful remedy, is our shrinking friend model, "A". Looking good there, girl! And, "R, my aquasize bud, you've done a great job as well. I think we all have a new lease on life!

The guys are knockin'-em-dead in the fishing dept., pics to come soon. Here are my cheffie friend's boys from the Easthood, and their catch from Deep Creek this past weekend. Nice job, guys!
