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 sleep. We road to the south side of the island just before we headed for the crab shack so I am pretty sleepy. Sleep I think, is going to over take me in a very short time. Good Night!
Remember that song we used to sing when we were kids, the one we sang when we wanted to go frolic in the out doors but we didn't because it was raining. Rain rain go away come again some other day. Or the one about the old man, It's raining it's poring the old man is snoring, he got out of bed and bumped his head and couldn't get up in the morning. Why did we sing those songs, I mean what happen to the old man? I remember, a few times, during the summer when I was a kid my parents would let us play in the rain. This sounds strange I think, but I like the smell of wet pavement, and I used to lay on it face up eyes closed, every other sense awake. The side walk would be warm from the summer sun of the day, and the rain falling on me would be cool. I remember thinking this is so beautiful God. To know God, is to really experience life, in a vivid sort of way, to have every sense, AWAKE.
