Beach Tradition

Good Wednesday morning!

There are more beach pics in the Gallery. I was stuck in "bird" mode for awhile. Oh, and volleyball. Today I feel I am in a "portrait" state of mind.

This is indeed the shortest post I've ever had on A Simple Life. However, it will not stay that way. Roxie and I are on our way to the beach for an hour or so. Mikie had meetings today, so we're on our own. We're meeting the guys at the pool for lunch, and then we're back at the beach late this afternoon.

This is SO different from our usual schedule of beach/pool/pool/out-to-eat. I am such a free spirit!

However, I will be posting throughout the day. SO the headings you see below will be "filled in" by midnight tonight. Thus, I will NOT be off my usual blog schedule for long.

HINTS FOR AUGUST SPECIAL GUEST
- Our Special Guest for the month of August will be making her appearance Monday, August 2. As is my practice on A Simple Life, here are a few hints to keep you guessing until then!

1. I have a very hot job.

2. I'm a spitting image of someone in my family.

3. I am VERY family-oriented.

A few more clues tomorrow. Any guesses, folks?

Beach Tradition

This is a no-brainer, and most people I know actually do this year after year after year. But just in case...

If you go to the beach once, twice or even three times a year, try to find a "special" restaurant everyone in your family enjoys. Once the restaurant has been chosen, plan on going at least once each and every time you visit the beach. A special place to eat at the beach (or the mountains) will give you something to look forward to for years and years to come!

NOTE - At Sandestin, we've been to Acme Oyster House the last two years. I think this may be our "special" restaurant of choice in this particular town!

Have a lovely Wednesday. In the words of California's famous governor, "I'll be back."

Sincerely,
