Mid-afternoon. You did your forty minutes of
exercises after breakfast and before lunch you and Carol spent thirty minutes
in the pool exercising your legs while the others enjoyed the water. Owen swims
from one long end of the pool to the other unassisted – everyone is happy to
see this of course. He did this a dozen times or so. You tried a new place
called Beachside Grill – great sandwiches. You will be returning. For dessert
you drove a few more miles north towards Clearwater and stopped at Cafe du
Paris for excellent French pastry for dessert. Upon return Brennan was already
asleep. Owen is watching a movie. The beach has a pretty good crowd with more
twenties and thirties aged this time around. – Amorella

hours. The Gulf is green-to-bluish with 19 mostly older people in the water. Amazing
there are about as many people in the water as there are on the beach itself.
Kim and Paul are sitting under their rented cabana – Kim reading, Paul resting.
Whitecaps sparkle like tinsel on a Christmas tree – a delightfully pretty
scene. Presently only the wake of a passed boat scars the surface. Puffy whites
have invaded the light blue sky—otherwise it appears quite peaceful. We saw a
pod of dolphin yesterday but none today – no pelicans today either though we
sighted half a dozen or so yesterday. Five handsomely young fellows are
attempting to hustle three eighteen to twenty-one year old ladies. The boys are
enticed by little more than tan and a few curves in the right place. Life goes
on and will continue to do so as long as the kettle of humanity continues to
brew. In some ways it is more interesting to observe than the young lady
casually displaying her wares the other day. Body language can be so subtle, so
much unconsciousness that it might be easily misunderstood by either party. Ah,
a throwback to the sometimes unseen dark humor basing our species. Human
behavior cannot always be so easily defined at any particular point in time. Times
up, two of the girls but on T-shirts and head to the condo, four young men
follow. The other appears to be quite satisfied gathering the sun she came for.
These are my perceptions based on memories of experiences long ago and may no
way be equated with the truth of the young men and women on the beach. Shoot,
they could all be cousins with a brother and sister thrown in the mix.
Dusk. Kim and Carol made spaghetti and you
also had watermelon for supper. The two are alone out on a walk down the beach
as the sun sets. Paul has the boys in the bath after another good day at the
condo and surrounds. You find yourself quite satisfied seeing Kim and Carol
together and alone on a walk. – Amorella

hours. The satisfaction brings a contentment that as we grow older I know all
will be well after my passing. We have a strong family unit. Kim will see to
her mother’s needs as time runs on. We are a good family unit. We have good
memories. – rho
This comes from deeper than you imagine,
boy. It is down there among the folds of the beginnings of humankind, at least
from your unconscious perspective. – Amorella

hours. I did not realize there was that close of a connection. It is hard to
believe there is.
Tonight's sunsets.
