And the summer continues ...

We had a wonderful weekend last weekend in LBI (Long Beach Island) while we stayed with friends, Deirdre and Mark. It was great to catch up on each other's lives. They left Kinnelon about a year ago so we don't see them as often. For 3 years we stood beside or near each other watching hockey games. But, alas, the boys are away in college now.

We arrived on Saturday which was an overcast day. I loved the look of the ocean when the sky and ocean are almost all the same color. It was beautiful. Here's Deirdre and I, followed by Don & Mark who went for a swim. Sunday was sunny but of course I didn't take any beach pictures that day and that was the day Don tried surfing!


By the way, a week or two ago, there would have been many blankets and umbrellas in between me and the ocean. LBI is a popular NJ spot in throughout the summer with many, many shore homes. Its a great spot with views of the ocean or the bay from almost every home. But with school being back, the beaches were wonderfully quiet. Of course the ice cream man was still ringing his bells! For whom his bells tolled, I do not know.
