Lazy, good for nothing, beach bum…..
Surfer
No, that picture isn’t me nor anyone I know nor is it where I went to the beach. It’s the default picture for this blog template so I figured I’d leave it as it fits with the topic at hand. Sadly, I did take three cameras with me, yet didn’t take a single picture nor video. I was too busy laying on the beach soaking up the sun to be bothered with any other hobbies of mine.
Stacie and I recently spent a week and a half on St. Simons Island for out annual Beachweek. We invited friends (as per usual) and had some show up. We stayed in my extended families’ “historic” beach cottage on St. Simons and we try to make it down every year around Memorial Day (a “historic” beach cottage is a quaint name for an old beach cottage on an island that is rapidly losing it’s character to $M condos). Sadly, this may have been the last of the Boz Beachweeks as the cottage is on the market. However, I said the same thing last year when it was listed then too. Personally, I’d like to have more Boz Beachweeks in the future. If the cottage sells, we may be forced to rent a condo for a week or just quit with the Beachweeks and do a Boz Maineweek up in Boothbay, Maine.
This year we took all three dogs (Molly, Cooper and Monster Truck) and only one of us got sunburned (and on the last day too). The dogs loved the beach and all the kids on the beach loved Monster Truck. We mostly grilled (with no shirt nor shoes on), but did have a nice meal on the Island at the Red Barn and a very nice meal at Christie’s in Brunswick with my parents to celebrate my mother’s birthday. Christie’s won the Silver Spoon award in 2006 as one of the top 10 restaurants in Georgia.
We’re back home now and it’s HOT. The garden is coming along nicely (squash, tomatoes, peppers, and cucumbers as well as two new hills of hops to augment the 3 hills I planted last year).
After a few short work orders and contracts, I’m back in the job market and Stacie is on the road for a few weeks at Piedmont Equine. The remainder of the summer will consist of the job search for me while Stacie will alternate between working locally at the Vet Hospital in a laboratory and spending time on the road with various equine practices. We do have a week in Maine planned in late July and Stacie will be in New Mexico for most of August with me joining her for a wedding in late August.
