We went down to Galveston Island on Sunday morning for a little fresh air and exercise. Let me show you what we did and saw.
This time we remembered to bring some dog toys. We spent a lot of time throwing the tennis ball until Nessa dropped it somewhere along the way and we had to pull out another ball. Good thing I came prepared.
Nessa became one with the water. The last time we went to the beach she was a bit afraid of the waves but this time she got right in. She is awesome off leash. She doesn't go very far, she concentrates only on the ball and she ignores other dogs. Of course, she does invite herself into other people's space but than I have said time and time again that she doesn't recognize personal space.
There were plenty of people crabbing this weekend. Some were also fishing. The huge tankers off in the distance might have discouraged me from eating anything that came out of the Gulf this close to the shore but that didn't deter others. These are soft shell crabs. I imagine they were breaded and fried.
We found a couple of coconuts washed up. At first, I was a little startled to see coconuts than I remembered that I wasn't on the Washington Coast. Duh!
As the day wore on and the church goers were released from their pews the beach started to fill up. This was our cue to go home.
Was your Easter Sunday leisurely like ours or did you spend it hunting for eggs and cooking dinner? Inquiring minds want to know.
Love,

Sounds like a wonderful time Michele. My day was hectic as I actually had to go pick up the pizzas rather than have them delivered. Cheers Michele!!

Pizza for dinner instead of ham? You heretic!
DeleteCooking, and cleaning, and sweating, and getting exhausted.
ReplyDeleteYou win.
I win this time. Just wait until summer when going outside is not doable. Then you will win.
DeleteDinner! Huh? We too went for a drive early on and once all the church goers were heading into the mountains we were headed home. Should have done dog, car, people washing but did laundry instead.
ReplyDeleteA drive in the mountains. I'm jealous.
DeleteYeah, laundry...ours is still waiting.
We did, indeed, spend it hunting for eggs and cooking dinner. And picking half-eaten jelly beans out of the carpet - neither The G Man nor the dog seemed to care for them. And every doorknob in our house is sticky.
ReplyDeleteYeah, but sticky in a good way. Wait! That sounds sort of creepy.
DeleteNessa is really getting into the only dog thing...just her and both of you---priceless!

Are ye keeping an eye out for another dog.
ReplyDeleteHas the dog been clipped ?.
Looks like a lovely day was had by all
JR is keeping an eye out for a Border Collie but I'm not sold yet.
ReplyDeleteIf you mean clipped as in fixed. Yes she has. We spay or neuter all of our dogs.
We had a great time.
No, as in shorn.
DeleteYes, we did. It gets really hot around here in the summer so we usually get her a summer cut. Only problem is that until it grows out just a bit she is prone to sunburn. I don't think they have doggie sunscreen but I could be wrong.
DeleteThat sounds like the perfect day! And I love that you have a Poinsettia accompanying your adult beverages. Too funny yet too cool. ;)
