Today, I miss the beach, and every so often when I'm outside, there is a smell in the breeze that reminds me of Tybee.  The weather in Bloomington today is just right!  Some times I wish it would stay like this more often.  It's in the 70's and there is a cool refreshing wind tossing my hair every which way.  It's nice! The sun is out and the sky is blue today.   The past few days have been ones for wishing that I had a boy friend to enjoy the summer with.  someone to share life with and some one who would be willing to travel last minute even, some times.  I wonder if I'll ever have a romantic relationship, or if I'll have a chance to be a wife here in this life? I'm hopefull but as of late, I have been discouraged and sad when ever I think about it.  I felt for some reason, it hit me really strongly right after we got back from our trip.  It felt particularly strong this time and I can't seem to shake it.  Dispite time with God and not spending any t...

Yesterday, i woke on Tybee Island at around 7 am everyone else in the house had woke earlyer to see the sun rise  at the beach.  I got my things together and loaded most all of it into the car.  I left the car key on the desk in the entry and went to breackfast one last time at the breakfast club.  By this time they had come to see me as a familiar face.   I walked back to the beach cottage one last time and met up with lynne rebeca and ben who had finished packing things up.  We got on the road around 8:30 am we flew into atlanta at about 1:50 pm and purchased georga aquariam tickets.  WE SAW WHALE SHARKS!  After that we were all feeling a bit zonked.  Next,  Rebecca and Ben and I finally got to meet all of lynne's family and we got to see where she grew up.  It was fun to meet them, and understand through meeting them who Lynne is just a little bit more.  We had pizza, and sat and talked for a while.  We got to the hotel about 11:30 ish and did a final zonked goodnight and went t...

Well I didn't make time to blog yesterday, but it was a good day we went early to the west docks and went on board the sweet lowland boat,our captain's name was Harvey. We went at high tide, because that is when there is enough water in the marshes to get to the other islands that are around Tybee Island by water.  We saw lots of birds and fish and dolphins.  We came back to the island at noon and and had lunch on the dock at AJ's which is where Captain Harvey's boat is docked. Around two we headed back. after we got back everyone went to hang out on the beach at low tide. I stayed back to get a head start on packing. We all met up again for ice cream and a bit more shopping. Back at the beach cottage everyone got into full packing mode and pick up mode I finished up early and headed to bed.

Kind of a laid back day here on tybee island.  We started out slow road our bikes near the marsh area and then walked around a bit on the south beach.  We thought we might get icecream after that but it was closed so we made a trip to the IGA.  Came home then and had lunch.  I napped after that while everyone else went back to the beach.  They came back about 4:30 and we all went to get icecream I bought a few more things from the beach shops and then we went home put out fun beach dresses and close on and went to the crab shack for dinner.  Yumm!  Well now I'm bout ready to close my eyes.

Day 5 on our stay on Tybee Island of corse starts with a good breakfast at breakfast club.  Today i brought along some reinforcements for breakfast.  Lynne and I are thinking about visiting the inside of the light house on the south side of the island.   I think it's one of my favoret light houses.  On the boat ride yesterday, we saw moma dolphins with their baby's and pelicans diving for food.  All of us had a good time.  Now Lynne and Rebecca are thinking about renting a jet ski, Ben and I said we would take pictures if they did that.  I think we have now began talking about a trip to Savannah and the Jazz Corner, yippy, I like Savannah.   Well we didn't get to Savannah today, because we were all extremely tired and needed to take a nap when we woke we headed to the ice-cream and sweet shop. After  that we got hush puppies from AJ's and then walked to the Beach,at this point it was dark and the moon was full and beautiful over the sea.  Lynne and I took pictures fr...

Day 4 on Tybee Island. I woke at 7:30 and took in the locals and breakfast at one of the best places for it, The Breakfast Club. Good eggs good coffee and lots of people some visiting some who call this place home and some who call it home once a year. The three people I met today were all from major cities Boston, Atlanta and the owner who is originally from the Chicago area.  You can tell by the pace of the place that a city slicker is running it.  I think it's a good thing he is though because it stays busy and there is a line out the door every day.  I road back to the beach cottage, I like feeling the wind in my hair when I zoom down the road.  About an hour and a half later, we all went to do a bit more shopping.  We walked to the big peer and then went to lunch at Spanky's SeaFood galley and saloon.  It is right next to the beach and the the food was pretty yummy!  After lunch we road back and I am currently taking a brake from people and sun at the same time my travelin...

Here we are in our third evening on type island.  We spent the day, at least Lynne and I, doing a bit of shopping. We decided to hide from the sun's rays today and boy I'm glad we did because it was hot hot hot!  We were out till 3pm after that we used the leasing office's computer and borrowed a movie and went to the post office.  We came home sprayed ourselves down with ice after burn spray and then we all 4 of us road our bikes to the North Beach bar and grill, ya it's a winner in my book and it is good eats.  While we were there a small thunder storm came through and cooled every thing off a bit.  We walked a bit tword the beach and watched the lightening near the beach we listened to the crashing waves and the wind blow across the tall grasses and palm trees.  Then we road home in the dark there were no wrecks though we did almost collide with an on coming   biker. We are back at our little beach cottage soon I think my eye lids will be in my way.

It feels like I have been hit by a Mac truck this morning.  I guess what I mean is that the sleep  i just woke from was heavy.   The sun here is intense and gives energy, but some times it seems to take away my energy too . we road our red beach bikes to the north side of the island today, and went exploring the tide pools.  There furthest time to be out was at 11:45am. Rebecca is a great beach treasure finder and she spied many shells and sand dollars along with rays.  Lynne and I took pictures and worked hard trudging the sucky sand in the big tide pools making sure our cameras didn't get wet.  On our first day out unfortunately I and Lynne have been pretty sun burned.  We ended up stay out to long.  Oh during the first part of the day we did some body board surfing,the waves were great for it.  For dinner we ate fresh crab! It was tasty and messy.  So worth the mess though and the work it takes to get the meat out of the crab shell.  Now, I am very tired and looking forward to s...

Daily blog yesterday afternoon we began a road trip to tybee island in Georgia.  My friends and I spent the evening speeding down the highway to music.  All four of us seemed a little tired going into this trip.  Last night we stopped at a hotel.  I had found it on price line back in April.  Praise god for four star hotels at 40 bucks a night it is a really nice Marriott.  Marriott knows good sleep! :).  Currently I am sipping a bit of coffee in one of there fluffy sitting chairs next to my bed.   We made our arrival to the island at about 3:00 pm and promptly checked in with the office and the potty room. From there we headed to the local IGA and bought some food just a little for the times we don't eat out.  Then we headed to our home away from home it really does feel like a homie place here. The pace is slow and relaxed.  The place we are staying feels beach cottage-y and after we unloaded our travel gear into our home foe the week we promptly settled up with our really cool ...
