“Whereon it is enough for me, Not to be doing, but to be!”*
by chuckofish
What heed I of the dusty land
And noisy town?
I see the mighty deep expand
From its white line of glimmering sand
To where the blue of heaven on bluer waves shuts down!In listless quietude of mind,
I yield to all
The change of cloud and wave and wind
And passive on the flood reclined,
I wander with the waves, and with them rise and fall.
–from “Hampton Beach” by John Greenleaf Whittier
Tomorrow I am off to Florida to meet up with daughters #1 and #2 for a week on the beach. The OM has flaked on us due to work commitments, so we will eat and drink what we please and binge watch “Freaks and Geeks” if we so desire.
Although daughter #2 will have her laptop, I will not be online. So I’ll see you in a week or so. Keep us travelers in your prayers.
*From “A Day of Sunshine” by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Have a safe and fun journey!
We sure will try! 🙂
So close!!
I’ll be with you in spirit — have a Margarita for me. And watch out for sharks!
I wouldn’t call it flaking out on you. I’ve only had the new job for two weeks!! (Uh, boss, thanks for the job and I’ll be in Florida drinking umbrella drinks next week). As it is I’m stuck in hotels I DON’t want to be stuck in.
