One of my all time favorite songs is the one about "Summer in the City". I love that song. Of course, the Hot time in the song is probably about going out on the town. However, the hot time in my mind is the HEAT and the humidity of Savannah G-A!! haha
I made it to the beach during the first week of summer vacation! Yeah!! I hope to get there more this summer than I have in recent years. I do not go in swimming, but I do enjoy just sitting on the beach watching the hours go away. haha Time passes pretty quickly out there, too. We have to pay those pesky parking meters, so we must keep track of our time. Now, I'm out of date. We don't pay parking meters anymore, we "pay to park" at the little machine that takes...get ready for it...DEBIT CARDS!! My, oh, my, what in the world is going on here!? haha
I was very pleasantly surprised to find that there were new plastic 'runners' going from the little bridges to the beach. The new walking bridges make it much easier to get from the car to the beach. We used to have to trudge through all of the deep, soft, HOT sand to get to the water. Tybee has built little 'ramp bridges' for us, and this year there are even little hard runners from the bridge to the first part of the beach. The sea oats are still thriving. I'm glad they haven't disappeared. Through the years, there has been a lot of drudging up of sand from out in the ocean that has been brought up to the actual beach. The project was to help the beach from eroding. What it did was to take away all of the shark teeth that we used to find all over the place! Oh well, the beaches are much nicer and not as muddy and dirty. Yes, I said muddy. The river water going into the ocean causes some of the 'muddiness'. Anyway, we had a grand time. Little Dora loved the water. She especially like the sand. She was digging in it, eating it, and putting it in her hair!! She was fun to watch. Of course, I took tons of pictures.
So, summer is here and that means that I am being rather lazy right now and enjoying not having to get up and go anywhere. I have begun a strange tradition, though, of getting up early every day. I used to love to sleep late, but in my old age I have become an early riser. Also, I have bad dreams in the morning, and that prompts me to get up! Crazy, I know.
I hope to take a few short little trips this summer to visit. My mamma, granna, grandma, daddy, aunt, and all of my older relatives always went visiting. People nowadays do not visit much, and that is a shame.
Well, I will get off of here and make some sweet tea. Yes, that is another southern tradition. Sweet tea! These days, though, I make DECAF sweet tea, so that I don't stay awake all night. Another sign of old age, DECAF!! hahahaha
Have a great summer's day!!
