TO THE BEACH!!

Here's the motley looking crew, Larry and Jenny in the front, and Sandy and Tom in the back at Rehoboth Beach. This beach is on the Atlantic Ocean and is about 45 minutes from Georgetown, Delaware. Rehoboth has a beautiful boardwalk, and is a real tourist attraction during the summer. There are plenty of shopping venues as well as any number of restaurants and fast food areas.

Sandy and I went for a walk down the boardwalk. To her left is the ocean and beach and you can see the businesses on the right. As you drive towards the boardwalk you pass several blocks of boutiques, specialty shops, a shop called Buddhas and Beads where I bought a wonderful statue of a monk in prayer position. I really love going to Rehoboth and just walking or sitting in one of the benches watching the people stroll. Sandy says in the late fall and winter many of the shops close and there are very few people on the boardwalk.

As we sat watching people we noticed the moon, mostly full. I took this picture of a building holds equipment and the moon in the background. It was a beautiful sunset, the sky turned several shades of pink, and the weather was about 70 degrees, much cooler than we've had for several weeks. This was our last night for all of us to be together, Jenny and Larry left the next day to return to Ohio.

Today, Wednesday, I went to see the movie Water for Elephants with Reese Witherspoon and Robert Pattinson. I was pleasantly surprised to see Hal Holbrook at the beginning of the film as the older Robert Pattinson. After reading the book, I was glad to see the film followed the story line of the book. If you want to see a good movie, I recommend this film.

There are a couple of scenes involving violence to an elephant, but there is also some retribution by the elephant. It's also a good story, well worth the read.

It appears I'll be in Delaware until about the 25th or 26th of June and then my plans are to head to Ohio to spend the 4th of July with Jenny and Larry. They are planning on putting the pontoon boat into the water for the holiday to watch the fireworks. Sounds like fun to me!!! See you all in the funny papers!!!
