A day at the beach

Steven, Richard's Grandma Mary Jo, Wally (the dog), and I went to the beach on Tuesday. We spent the night at Doran Beach in her new motor home. The weather was perfect! It was 55 degres outside, the sun was shining, and there was no wind. Steven was so amzaed by the waves. He has been to the beach before but he was not old enough to really care about it. He was so excited to be able to walk around and pick up shells and other "things" on the beach. He picked up a dead crab and then when he saw the legs wiggle (they were kind of limp) he got scared and threw it down. It was so funny. He also enjoyed playing in the motor home. We joked that it was a big play house with a play car in it. LOL. We all had a great time just being at the beach together. The only thing that would have been better is to have had Richard there to share it with us.

Richard called on Sunday night. He said that things are starting to get better with his unit. He didn't really say much more than that. They all get Christmas off and they are supposed to be playing movies all day. He said that he was looking forward to just hanging out for a day. He is feeling better and seems to be doing very well. We are looking into having Steven and I stay where ever he goes to tech. school. He won't find out what job he actually has until the last week of tech. school. We probably won't actually move there, but we'll rent a furnished apartment or hotel or something while we visit him for a few months.
