Cashmere's log - Day 17

>> Thursday, November 5, 2009


I am confused. We had "halloween" at the last campground and this new one has "christmas" lights everywhere along the park road. Miles of lights. Did I oversleep? No wonder I have been so hungry. But then today we went to the beach and it was hot and sunny. Dad and Mom went swimming. Then of course Dad dragged me in the ocean... twice. Saying something about getting rid of the "dog" smell although I still don't smell it! But all of the seasons have mixed and I have no idea if it is fall, winter or summer. At least I know it is not spring.


This place is like nothing I have every seen. It's real purty and I like it. We are next to a pond though and I am leery about the creatures that live in it. There is a sign warning about the alligators and I know they don't know I can read but I can and frankly I am a bit nervous. The weather is hot during the day and cold at night. As if they don't know me they keep trying to get me next to those giant fires Dad makes with all the sparks and flames shooting out. I was hoping the fires would stop, but then Dad came home one day with the entire back of Mom's car filled with wood for $40 and he was soooo proud. Ugh.


I tried something new last night - fried tilapia tacos - and I liked it. I also like Dad's new beard but not Mom's new mustache. Well, I have to go. I don't know what "grits" are but Dad is making some now and I need to try them!

Cashmere, I love your log, I read them out loud to Grandpa, and we both laugh. I am so happy you can read, and you do need to be careful about those aligators, they like to lay in wait for dogs and can smell you for a long distance. Love Grandma Rosey.

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.
