July 4th Weekend, Part Deux

Fireworks were early this year at the beach thanks to mother nature. While Frank, John and the gang went to a party in Dewey, I was visiting friends from Norfolk who were at the beach for the week. I was sitting in my friends' living room munching on a burger when a call came out to hit the beach (thankfully we were one house off the boardwalk) as the fireworks had started. So off we all trudged to the beach (did I mention a mere 30 second walk) to watch the fireworks in the rain. I am used to the fireworks in DC which are quite grand. Rehoboth's display was quaint, but the added feature of being able to run one's toes through sand was something not possible in DC. Hell, I wouldn't walk around barefoot for that matter anywhere in DC! For a party where I assumed I would only know the hosts, there were actually a few people from Rehoboth who I have met on past trips to the beach.

Saturday was spent lounging about the house on the back porch (wake, eat, nap in that order) and then the 6 of us traipsed up to a pool party being thrown by an aquaintance of mine in DC. The margaritas were flowing and I bumped in to more guys I know from DC (seems like everyone was at the beach this weekend!). The rain rolled in again and we headed back home for yet another nap. Next stop was Aqua for happy hour and then La La Land for dinner. We opted for frozen custard on the boardwalk in lieu of $9 chocolate cake and then headed home.

Woke up Sunday and we took Augie to the beach for his morning romp, had breakfast and then I headed home to my own dog. Elsa was very happy to see me last night. We met up with an aquaintance of mine and his dog Cane and then I used my oven for the first time to make..... frozen pizza. It was a classy evening.



Today I putzed around the house in the morning doing laundry and whatnot, and am trying to decide if I should paint the walls of the apartment or not. The off-white/cream color bugs me a bit, especially since the floorboards, windows and doors are white. I may take some time off this week or next to do it. I feel a sudden "allergy attack" coming on!!!
