Time to get this day started. Didn’t feel like cooking so had breakfast of fruit and ginger tea on the patio. I wrote a little and daydreamed a lot of what it would be like to wake up to this every morning.

hey vi, looking forward to more stories . . .
oooooh Jitterbug, I'm sorry, but the report is winding down. I have two..maybe three more places on the way.
I knew I wanted to go to the beach today. O’Neal suggested I go to beach close to town. I was game. He also suggested his son tag along with me for company. I adore his son, but never spent a lot of time with him. Ten minutes at the most. He’s a teenager on the quiet side so was unsure of how to relate to him…entertain him. To make sure he would have a good time, I suggested he bring a buddy.
So after getting me we scoop up the lads. They were eagerly ready for the beach whether I was going or not.
Sunday at Shan Shy Beach
Every time I look at these pictures I’m reminded of fun I had that day. It was another beach day I hated to see end.. I can still hear the screams, laughter and splashing of the many, many children that were out there.
I’ve come to realize I prefer being in Portland when school is out Seeing the kids dressed in their crisp pressed school uniforms is nice, but nothing compares to seeing so many smiling faces on the beaches daily during summer break.
Another first time experience for me, this hidden gem is located in west Portland soon after coming through Boundbrook when traveling east. The beach rests a few feet below the main road so it’s not easily visible from above. But a short walk or ride down the concrete path and be dazzled by the beautiful white carpet of sand that leads to calm, clear waters perfect for swimming.
This is a local’s retreat where parents bring their kids and sit watching them swim and splash till exhaustion.
Here are a couple of shots of the beach. It looks empty because it was a little before 1:00 and the masses had just started to stream in. Even though they were hungry, my guys didn’t waste any time striping down to their swim trunks and diving into the water.
…aaaaahhhhh the water was perfect. Soothing swirls of warm caresses encircled my body as I stood within her. The fine sand beneath me was soft and even while the tide was oh so playful.
I said to myself…yes, this is the Sunday place to be.
The boys came near me with spirited grins.
I recognize that look.
Pointing to my hair without smiling was all I needed to do to let them know that splashing me was NOT a good idea. They said something like “awwwww” and giggled while they viciously splashed each other. Boys will be boys.
