A Foggy Morning



I would be so sad, if I didn't get to experience the changing of seasons. 

A few fall changes around here would be:
  • Drops in temperature
  • Lower humidity
  • Leaves changing colors, and
  • FOG
Last week, we had some fog at the lake and I heard Mother Nature saying, 
"Hang on dude....foggy mornings means cooler weather is acoming."   

 


 
 
 
 
 
 
 After the fog lifted, you could almost feel the crispness in the air. 

I am so thankful for changing seasons!

New Edition of Conversations with Sawyer

Sawyer - Pool-bound with PJ's, Housecoat, PFD,
Gamecock Dangly Hat, Sport Crocs and Underwater Eye Wear


Well, it's been a while now since I introduced you to Sawyer. Remember, Sawyer is my 6-year-old grandson and he is just the funniest little thing ever. His perception of the world keeps me in stitches.  So I thought you might enjoy a few more of his insights.

*****

1/28/2013 - Back story: Sawyer knows that before getting dessert he has to finish his dinner. And as children do, they try every trick in the book to get dessert. Sawyer is no exception. He didn't eat all of his dinner tonight, but came over to his mama...whining.....

Sawyer: Mama, I'm full and can't eat any more, but now I can't have dessert because I didn't finish my dinner.

Emily and I: (Laughing)

Sawyer started crying: I can't help it, it's part of my life.

Bless it...we laughed some more, but then he got major hugs and kisses. And he got dessert. Ha!

*****

1/30/2013 - This one is from his big sister, Lidia. They are so cute when they try to talk like an adult. 

Lidia: "Mama, you just asked me that...you must have a short loss memory term".

*****

2/1/2013 - Back story: Emily took the children with her to Target. They are pretty good most of the time, while out shopping, especially at the checkout. I've been impressed that Lidia and Sawyer just hang out there so quietly showing great patience. Little did we know that they really are making observations that we know nothing of. On this occasion, however, Sawyer felt the need to express his observation to his mama.

Sawyer on the Target cashier: "Mama, that guy kinda looked like Aracabama (translation - Barack Obama), except.....Aracabama doesn't wear earrings".

HaHa! He knows his Presidents!

*****

2/4/2013 - Back story: Sawyer was sick today, so I stopped by to pick him up and take him home with me. I couldn't wait to pamper him and make him feel all better.

Me: Sawyer, I am sorry you are sick. I am going to take you home and fix you some chicken soup for lunch. That will make you feel better.

Sawyer: LaLa, you know what would make me feel better?

Me: What's that?

Sawyer: Going through the car wash.

Me: Well, let's go then.

I whipped my car around and through the car wash we went. He was all smiles. Now, you tell me that you wouldn't do whatever to make your babies feel better.

*****

2/15/2013 - Back story: Lidia and Sawyer spent the night with me last night so I had to take them to school this morning and it was very foggy in places.

Sawyer (very excitedly):  LaLa is that a tornado?

Me: No, Sawyer, that's fog.

Sawyer: WELL, it looks like a tornado.

*****

3/3/2013 - Dinner at Cracker Barrels.....Sawyer gave his "chicklin and dumplins" a big thumbs up.

*****

I should write a book. Would it be awful of me to get rich and famous off my grandkids? Oh well, I guess I better not. I'll just keep sharing them with you through this blog.

A Foggy Seaside Sunday

Yesterday, it was rainy and foggy. I didn't use that as an excuse, however, to just sit inside. There is just so much beauty along this coast of ours. I am happy to share it with you. Whether you live near enough to experience the ocean and seaside communities for yourself or if you live far, far away....these were taken with you in mind. If you are familiar with coastal towns, then you know that as soon as you leave one, you enter another. The coast from a small seaside town called Pawleys Island to Myrtle Beach covers all of about 15 miles. When I took the first photo here in Myrtle Beach it had just stopped raining. Next, I drove south to Pawleys Island and worked my way back north. By the time I finished in Garden City....the fog had really set in. I hope you enjoy my view of the seaside...through the lens of a camera.

So here we began in Myrtle Beach, SC

The end of Pawleys.

Creekside

Pawleys Island fokelore tells of a Gray Man that appears before storms to warn residents of impending storms or danger. What do you think? I honestly could not tell what this was when I took the picture.

I love the way the colors of this boat stand out against the foggy background.

Ending back at Myrtle Beach

And here back at the same path as we began, you can see that the fog has rolled in.

Have a great Sunday!
