I know that each of us loves the “routine” that we have established on vacation, year after year the same place, at the same time. I imagine that I could guess what any one of you was or will be doing at 8:17 AM on August 12 th is this not the definition of “routine”. I also know outsiders think that we are nothing but boring and lazy people for all we do is talk all year of doing nothing other than sitting (at this point I could use Clarks words in regards his boss) ourselves on the beach watching the tide change, taking naps, watching people, Reading a book, taking a nap, dragging beach chairs (as a result of the tide) drinking wine, and then taking a nap! To those fools I say balderdash!( I never liked that word because it contains bald) We are just the opposite! What we are is an intellectual bunch that utilizes every minute of time pondering events over the previous year, weighing each event, then mentally documenting actionable ste...

If you do not know, today is the FIRST DAY OF SUMMER!!! We have now achieved the time when we no longer can dream of what will be (Vacation) , but take action to make the dream a reality! We must commence the mundane tasks, paying for the condo, buying plane tickets, renting a car, renting bikes, looking for that consummate bathing suit, buying that seersucker jacket with matching pants possibly a bow tie and some “fine” white leather shoes, appropriate church apparel, beginning the quest for that one special dress for “ladies night out”. The dreams should be fading, and slowly actions need to start! One thing that I like to do is think about the ebbs and flows of the week, here is my advice: “do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Let the day's own trouble be sufficient for the day”. (there is a real bonus if you can figure out where I got those words) Embrace those words of wisdom, and your vacation “...
For the life of me I cannot figure out what caused me to think of this little story but anyway hope you enjoy! This happened a- ways back, it was a Thursday, the forecast was for warm temperatures, al little humidity, and a chance of rain in other words a typical forecast in Kiawah in august. So we decided that we would take our yearly journey to Charleston, to bask in the sunshine, while walking along the gold lined streets while admiring all the glorious architecture that the low country has to offer. I was so excited that I was having a difficult time caging my emotions (after all you-all that is one of my favorite things to do when I am at Kiawah), I could not stop thinking about the splendid time I would have browsing the store fronts (Gucci, Louie, white and black, saphoria, etc.) while drinking my cup of decaf coffee from Starbucks, while wiping the sweat off of my brow! Can you honestly think of anything better to do? As I was sitting in the car continuing to con...
Check out this picture! Alex sent it to me, now that is a ROOSTER! I think that would look really good on one of our beach chairs in a few weeks! I assume that this was taken a fine eating establishment! I will be willing to bet that this is the only 5 star restaurant in western PA! This place really has some CLASS!

Here is the picture of the week! Rex is not happy here,because his time is running out for this years vacation he wanted to be out on the beach~!! So he want two questions answered 1) who's condo was he in? and 2) What day of the week was he stuck inside watching the rain! I never noticed this before but Rex told me that he took this picture for a reason, and it has something to do with what he saw between the trees! I am not sure that I believe him but what else would be out in the middle of the lake in a rain storm?
As I sit here watching the rain, I cannot help but think of the wonderful tenants that squatted next to us at the beach a few years ago. This Sunday stared out with a relaxing walk on the beach, an exhilarating bike ride, followed by a light brunch which included intellectual conversations with my chalet guests. Half way thru one of the topics I was thinking to myself “self I am at the beach, so why in the world am I sitting her with these intellectuals, and not have my fat white _____ in the lounge chair on the beach” so I got up and proceeded to the beach! It was perfect, there was not a cloud in the sky, I looked down the beach and all I saw was pearl sand, crystal blue water, white chairs with blue umbrellas and a few young families frolicking in the breaking surf. You could not ask for anything better! All at once behind me I heard several people walking down the walkway entrance to the beach, I thought nothing of it other than they must have been from ...
