I rented a bike last evening to keep for the week. It is a comfort style beach bike with rust-resistant chain and aluminum handle bars to hold up to the conditions at the sea.
This morning we started our day just after sunrise with a short walk on the beach, just a mile or two..
Returned to camp for homemade bran muffins and cherry preserves..
Then I hopped on my bike and took a spin around the place, past the visitor's center, past the alligators, down to the front gate, back through the causeway drive, to the campsite of some friends of mine, and then back to our place...Evie didn't even recognize me until I dismounted the bike.
After a lunch of albacore tuna, relish and mayo, a crunchy apple, and a little chat with the camera toting woman who said she thinks we have the perfect dog, Mom has headed off for the bathhouse and Evie and I are relaxing inside our little air conditioned place by the sea.
And somewhere in there, I have been receiving good news from home: Courtney's graduate school applications are rolling back in, and at least one of her choices has offered her a place in their PhD English program, with teaching assistantship besides.
Life is good, and I am so very grateful.
Love, Ronda
