Sea BreezesI love Sunday morning. We get up early and feed the English Cockers, who are always hungry and barely make it from meal to meal. The porch cat comes stretching out of her box, heated by a heating pad, ready for her breakfast. Harold fixes coffee and starts breakfast...I sit in a stupor to wake up. After breakfast, the whole group is exhausted and takes naps. The spaniels sleep on the couch with their feet up in the air, the porch cat lazily sleeps on in the empty flower pot, her favorite place.By now, I am awake from coffee and breakfast and survey our "family". I love my life. We are crazy and it feels normal. Soon the ironing board will get pulled out and church clothes will be chosen and ironed. Harold is ushering this morning and I will probably wear riding clothes to church as I sing in the choir and we Episcopalians have two layers of choir robes, so no one knows whats under there anyway. My riding boots might poke out, but everyone is used to my zaniness. After church, I am heading to the barn to horse around with Cheryl. I love our little church. Some people wear shorts, or shrimp boots, who cares? We are truly the body of Christ and a family. In this little shrimping village, some people come ready to jump in their boats and go to the beach after church. The important thing is that we are there to worship and praise our Savior. Living so close to the sea, there is always fishing talk, tide watch talk and wave height discussions. Weather is an important topic living by the sea. Salt air and sea breezes are part of my day. This is a lovely Sunday, will hit the 90's, summer is upon the coast. I hope your day is filled with joy and that you take time to praise God and thank Him for your blessings. I love all of you family and friends. "Love one another, as I have loved you."
