We arrived at the beach yesterday about 30 minutes before sunset. Once in the room, we actually took a 10-minute nap before heading downstairs to get our feet in the sand.
Sunset is a big deal at the beach, and there were many other people making their way outside. The elevator dinged and stopped on every floor. I'd check, and sunset was at 5:12 P.M.
We bolted off the elevator and out of the lobby door. We got onto the sand as the sun squatted on the western horizon. I think it was waiting for us.
We sat in the sand and watched my birthday sunset.
Our get-away was cut a day short by something strange that happened in the back floorboard of our car, but since I plan to write this week's column about it, you'll have to check back a week from Monday to get the story...sorry.

Enjoy your holiday...there's nothing like a bit of suspense to keep everyone hanging on for the post about the back floorboard of the car.

What a gorgeous sunset... have an amazing holidays ♡ xox
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday Rick. Beautiful, wonderful sunset. Now, just waiting to see what happened to your floorboard. I remember the holes and the water that saturated our feet regularly in our very old VW Bug back in the early 1970's - we put down cardboard and newspaper to sop up the water. Back then if we couldn't fix it ourselves it didn't get fixed. Your suspense filled sentence brought back memories.

That's a beautiful sunset. Sorry your beach vacation was cut short because of an issue with the floorboard of the car. Now you left us with a cliff hanger.So be it, we'll have to wait.
ReplyDeleteHave a great day.

The sun setting over the ocean is about as lovely a sight as you will ever see. You had a good one for your birthday. And you are a cruel person to give such an intriguing hint and then making us wait so long.
ReplyDeleteA nap....
ReplyDeleteSunset at the beach....
Sigh.
Sounds like a heavenly birthday, to me.
Leave 'em in suspense.
ReplyDeleteA 10 minute nap, is not a nap, well not for me I like an hour for a nap just saying also the only thing I don't like about the beach is the sand.........lol
ReplyDeleteSeconding Joy's comment: Norma and I drove a '67 VW Sedan for many years. One day the 5-year-old battery --under the back seat-- exploded, causing a battery-sized hole in the floor. Back then, if Sears sold you a 5-year battery by golly they MEANT it!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful sunset and a nice way to end your birthday
ReplyDeleteYou are blessed to be celebrating your birthday on the beach! That sunset is beautiful!
