Well, the sun didn't show today. The wind was coming off the ocean which created a hazy mist on shore that disappeared within a block. It was very humid making it feel much hotter then it was. There were plenty of hardy people on the beaches - some of us just can't resist the call of that ocean.. BUT it's just the type of day that you can get too much sunburn without realizing it, so always use plenty of sunscreen even when the sun is AWOL.
My son took the day off to go crabbing with his 5 year old. Just the purrrfect day for it. If any of you ever want to crab, the very best place is Holt's Landing - about a 20 minute drive south from Rehoboth. There is a great pier there and a really nice play ground for the kids.
I had a lot of errands to run out on the highway. Wrong day for that!! Traffic was gridlocked around the outlets with 3 lanes of traffic all trying to make a right turn into the parking lots. Yup, you guessed it, I was one of those making that righthand turn. I had sevral coupons that I had to used by tomorrow and OshKosh was having a great sale. I picked up some really nice tee shirts for school. I just can't resist buying for my grandsons. If you're familiar with the outlets, you are in for a shock. They keep changing. Many of the store are no longer discounted, they are full retail and we keep loosing stores. Some of my peronal favorites have disappeared. Others have relocated within the mall. GRRRRRR. . . it's so irritating.
Then I headed out to Midway to buy 20 yards of fabric. For over a year, I have been looking for fabric to make curtains for my livingroom. I haven't been able to find what I really want - a blue and yellow plaid. I stopped into Dreamweaver's last week. They had a plaid that I liked, blue and white. I got a swatch, took it home and laid it on my sofa. It has sat there for a week. I finally decided that, although it was not exactly what I had in mind, it would work. The curtains will be a winter project.
The trip home was slow. Traffic hadn't let up and the 35 mph speed limit makes a bottle neck at Indian River Inlet. Secretly, I like the slow speed limit over the bridge as it is such a gorgeous view. It's nice to be force to drive slow enough that one can enjoy it. As soon as Icould I cut inland so that I could avoid the traffic in Bethany Beach.
Tonight will be a sweater/jacket night on the boards. If you plan on sitting on a bench be shore to take a towel or you'll have a damp bottom.

We have beach traffic here, too, but you have to go over the mountains one lane each way, with many miles between overpasses. And then when you get there--the sun SETS at the beach. Doesn't it know beaches are supposed to have sunRISES? Silly California.
