rainy thursday morning

Good Morning from Topsail Beach! It's a rainy Thursday morning as I write this post. I am sipping on my morning cup of coffee while Dad and Andrew fix breakfast. Yes, I said fix. It's not making breakfast or cooking breakfast. In the south it's fixing breakfast. I guess I could go a bit further and say it's fixin' breakfast.

The week has been wonderful and relaxing - and very much needed. What have we been up to? A bunch of nothing ... and it's great. I highly recommend it. We have gone to a few beach shops, walked along the water, flipped through some trashy magazines, Andrew and Dad have fished, and Louie has been chasing the birds. I know, rough life, huh?

I think Mom and I may drive into Swansboro today for a little more shoppping and lunch at Yana's while the boys head to the pier for some more fishing. Maybe they will catch something besides seaweed and bathing suit tops.

Louie gave us a good scare on Tuesday. Andrew and I were walking along the beach with Louie by our side. Well, she loves the water and has so much fun trying to bite the waves. But she has been a bit more interested in the birds that sit on the water and has decided to try to catch a few. Well, Miss Lou got a little too far and all we could see was her little head and a struggle in her eyes as she tried to doggie paddle back to shore. Luckily a wave pushed her back towards us and we all took in a deep breath full of relief. Then she went back for it again. She is a very determined dog.

If I could only post some pictures for you ...

Until next time,
K
