Happy 4th of July!

Greetings Peeps!

It is a hot and humid 4th of July morning here in the land of sunshine.  Which, I guess is to be expected.  I rearranged the magnets on my door about a month ago in honor of today.  Since I had to cut out the stars, there are only 13 in recognition of the 13 original colonies.

I am on a stretch of working closing shifts and although the hours are not my favorite, for this weekend I will gladly stay away from the beach.  As much as I love our walks there, I am not a hang out at the beach all day kinda gal.  Jak and I went for a walk this morning along the main road from the highway to the beach and it was already bustling at nine a.m. 

Tropical Storm Arthur blew past here on Wednesday bringing some periods of heavy rain throughout the morning.  By the afternoon the skies cleared up and all that was left was a nice breeze.  (Which is welcome here this time of year.)   It looks like Arthur gained strength around the Carolinas.  I hope he brought the I-95 corridor some much needed rain.  The corn fields looked very dry when we rolled through there last week.

Not much else to report here.  I've been rearranging my living room a bit trying to find the best place for the rocking chair that I brought back with me from the home state.  Since the TV has to stay on the wall the with cable hookup, there isn't a lot of moving around that can be done.  So it's mostly about trying things at different angles.  I am pretty content with the current layout except that there is a lot of wasted space behind the futon.  For now I'll let it be, usually in time these things work themselves out.

Well, wherever you are, I hope you have a damn fine 4th of July.  Eat watermelon, be safe and have fun!

Until next time...
Peace & Love,
Hope
