Cashmere's log - Day Six

>> Tuesday, October 27, 2009


Things are looking up. Still in "Frisco" but the rain stopped last night and I have counted 26 walks that I have taken today. At home I would be lucky to get one. I was only left alone for about two hours this morning after walk #3 so they could go find something called "The wifi Chai". This sounded weird to me because when Mom returned she said they paid $9.00 for a cappuccino and a coffee so they could get "free" wifi at a cafe.


Then the wind picked up and I thought that the camper was going to blow away. Dad went to check the surf and Mom was holding on to the awning of the camper awaiting his return but she is not strong enough and it totally blew away and bent over the camper. Then she just stood there holding on to the bent, still half attached awning not knowing what to do. I felt bad for her. After that I thought that we were moving to a less windy spot but Dad started pulling the camper still popped up and then yelled at Mom and started driving away. OMG there goes my last indoor bed option i was so scared I ran after it and Mom just walked. Then I realized we were just relocating to a better, safer, less windy spot and I like it. There are lots of trees and no other people so can run free. Walk #19 was to find wood for the fire pit that Dad "relocated" from another site. I heard BBQ chicken is for dinner and am very excited. Still not sure when we are going home.

Dear Cashmere
OMG is right! Ray & I can't believe how badly you're being treated. It appears as though M&D are having too much fun and didn't fully explain yhe purpose of this adventure to you. We want you to know that you can have M&D put uou on a "Greyhound" (excuse the expression) and send you back to GM. We're sure S&S will adjust as they accepted Zuni the Boston Terrier when she visited with her two MOMS last June.Just remember we are your BNFFs.LOVE
Tell M&D that Ray is scheduled for surgery on his eye next friday 11/6

blogger back story

my wife and i have had a fairly mundane life so far. we live in northern delaware where we met, fell in love, bought a house and got married. we enjoy traveling, camping, surfing and eating well and we do not have any children. we are in our mid-thirties and have average careers, not glamorous or high paying, but consistent none the less. as time passes day to day in our mundane life there has been something growing stronger inside of us for years. that something is the need to break out of our slumber and live life to the fullest. we want to see the world and find a place by the edge of the sea to call home and open our own business. we keep revisiting this idea, reinventing the plan, but never following through. last december we got serious... we wrote down goals, step by step, to move towards achieving our dreams. we created a budget and decided we could feasible travel in our pop-up camper for 3 months exploring the coast in search for the place we wanted to live. we saved money for traveling, we got our house appraised, we worked on curb appeal & we sold cumbersome unessential possessions. last big step was to sell our house and our target was September. we finally got our house on the market on friday, september 25. we had
several contingency plans for different times when it would sell. to our astonishment the house sold in 48 hours!

on surfing

in 2004 my parents took my entire family on a Hawaiian cruise. during this cruise i had a life altering experience... a surf lesson on the island of maui. being a water person already, i immediately i had a definitive connection with surfing. upon arrival back in delaware i went out and purchased my first surf board. i started surfing the local breaks occasionally. i got my closest friends into it and they too ended up buying boards. occasionally turned into frequently and then every day off of work. my first board turned into several and then into a quiver. surfing started as a hobby, a mere fascination and now is a lifestyle that provides me spiritual well being. the connection to a higher power is never more present than during a good dawn session. out in the line up the stressful hustle bustle of life melts away and i can get quiet with god and recharge my internal battery. i'm sure surfing means different things to different people, but for me it is about the soul. i feel i am a better person because what surfing does for me and i will pursue that feeling for the rest of my life.
