at the beach.
sitting in bed,
tea at our elbows.
the wind just blew over a rocker on the porch.
several rounds of rummy with my brother and his girlfriend.
brother's rummy name: Mr. Beardsley
martin's rummy name: Mr. Braveray
two days of driving in the blue subaru
three girls
two dvd players (I hate to admit it but it is true)
endless snack bags
a quick but beautiful visit to my auntie and uncle
and their whimsical garden
one stop at Superwalmart--two carts of groceries,
three girls, my mom and I, crammed in the blue Subaru
coasting over the causeway
blue blue blue water, white foam, two pelicans
beatrix running down the sand chanting:
we're at the beach! we're at the beach!
