We made a chix, rice and veggie dish last night for dinner. It was very good and we have plenty of leftovers for another night. After dinner we stepped out on the balcony to see how many planets were visible. We were able to see Venue, Mars and another, but not sure which one. We switch seats at the table to see if our luck would change. It did in a way - we still lost, but we didn't get skunked and it was a good game.
Today was a beach day so we got there around 8:30 and set up near the yellow life guard station as usual. It was quite windy at first, but became calmer a little later. Dave and I went for a walk down the beach, Cathie walked a little later down to Point of Rocks and Russ didn't feel the need to walk as he went for a run early this morning. There were not many shore birds this morning, but hundreds of gulls lined the beach. I caught a good pic of a ring-billed gull. There is also a pic of a sand turtle that someone had made yesterday and lasted all night. There was a large group of people doing yoga on the beach and a smaller group doing jazzercise. One of the pics has a view of the beach from the snack shack. If you look in the distance you can see the yellow life guard stand. The beach is very wide with the most soft and silky sand. Cathie at one point went to use the restroom near the snack shack and saw an egret standing near the kitchen door. When she asked about it, someone said he stops by at least three times per day and has been doing so for ten years! They have named him Eddie the Egret! I went up later to take his pic, but he was gone. Russ and Dave went to the snack shack later and while they were gone, I tried to eat my sandwich. A crow landed on the top of Russ's empty chair and squawked at me the whole time I was eating. I'm sure he wanted my sandwich, but I wasn't sharing!
We are going out to Walt's for dinner tonight and there is a chance of rain tomorrow and we can stay in and eat our leftovers. Will try again for a win tonight as the score is now 4 to 0.
