Well, it fell all right... just about noon time. LOL I did get my son and my younger sister this morning and we headed to the cottage. It was hot and sticky here, and the sun looked like it was going to burn off the clouds. As we got closer to the lake and the cottage it got darker and darker. Just before we pulled into the driveway the sky opened and the rains came. It down poured for a few minutes and then let up. It came again, and stopped. Drizzled here and drizzled there. We sat in the gazebo most of the day and the cover from the huge tree I told you about kept us dry if we stepped out from the gazebo. It was warm, but definitely not a beach type day. The company was great so it wasn't all a wash out.
Renee and 'bug' showed up for a bit. The kids played games and entertained her for a bit but she was bored and they ended up leaving much earlier then planned. We hung out until dinner time and then went to a beach bar not to far away. All the crab legs you could eat. I'm not a huge crab lover and I think it's a lot of work for a little food. I like to cut, chew, and swallow. Ummmmmmm ok you pigs.. no smart remarks!!! Fighting with a shell for my dinner is not my idea of fun. I had steak :) It was great and filling.
While eating dinner the sky tried to open and I thought I was going to get the sunset pictures I wanted. Luck didn't have it. It turned dark and bits of reds and oranges reflecting off the clouds was all I could get. Oh well a couple more evenings to get it right.
Sitting in the gazebo the sound of the waves coming to shore was soothing. It's not the norm on the lake so I turned and got a short video. Boring!!! Ahhh but it is soothing... maybe I never noticed the sound before because usually there is so much going on you can't hear it.....
I'm off to try and get a few reads in before I go to bed.. I will definitely catch up tomorrow and get the requested tags out.
Hugs

Absolutly beautiful pictures. I love them. I am glad that you had a great time today at the beach. I would have gotten a steak too instead of the crab. I am so glad to hear that your brother is doing well and out of the hospital.

I agree with you on the crabs. My husband is from Louisiana and they love doing the whole crawfish boil...YUCK! I mean how much meat can those little creepy looking things have in them? Having to tear apart my meal before getting to the good stuff is not my idea of fun! LOL

I loved the video of the beach...so peaceful and relaxing. Sounds like, even with the rain it was a nice time at the cottage. I love crabs, would rather eat a crab cake, than pick the crabs, I agree with you on that. Hope you have a lovely midweek...and very thankful your brother is home, doing well. Good news!
Hugs and love,

Glad your brother is doing better. The pics are nice. With over 300+ sunny days a year here in AZ a little rain is nice. I welcome the monsoons. Sounds like you had a nice get together despite the rain. And I'm with you, I'm NOT going to crack open any body parts to eat, disgusting. De ;)
Glad he is well enough to be home and glad he is better.
So glad to hear your brother is better..too bad for Bug the weather was bad...loved the video...have a great week! Hugs,TerryAnn

I totally agree with you about crab legs. I love the meat, but rarely order them because it's just too much work. LOL
XOXO,

D, the little clip is great. Like the sound, it's soothing. Sorry you had rain but sounds like you made the best of it.

What better than to hear the sounds of the surf if you can't get there. I love these videos of yours of rain and surf. I never realized I could enjoy them until I started viewing them. Gerry
That video of the waves was a nice little break! Thanks!
Pam
