The salty wind cries... Sarah


Okay. Here is a disclaimer, as my previous plans went awry when I thought I would be going home. I may or may not be going to the Texas coast for a couple of days. There, Fate. Are you happy now?

With that disclaimer out of the way, here goes...

Since my father is not going anywhere and his condition is stable and unchanged (meaning, sedated and relying on a ventilator to breathe), I am considering taking Amos down to Rockport, TX for a few days to visit with my sister. I've never been to Rockport, although Phil and I spent a great deal of time in the Corpus Christi and Port Aransas areas when we were young pups in love. Now, I have the chance to take the pup of our loins to see the ocean for the first time. How cool is that, eh?

Rockport is a bayside artist colony. I want to eat on a restaurant deck overlooking the water. I want to see my wee man playing in the sand and feeling the ocean waters lap at his belly. I want to breathe in the salt air and relax for even just a moment. Sounds nice, no?

So, my friends. Perhaps I will be staring at the bay tomorrow. Let's cross our fingers.

Have fun if the Fates allow it. I'd say that you should take Amos down to the Crazy Cajun, but maybe seeing food spilled all over a table isn't the best thing for him to be learning right now as he starts eating real food. You enjoy the ocean; I'll enjoy the 4-8" of snow we're expecting tonight.

That definitely sounds like something you should do--for YOU! It will be great for Amos and give you a little down time. You deserve the break, and even if Amos ends up crawling on the table WITH the food on it, it will be great! Have a wonderful time.

Rockport sounds a nice place. Cool. I hope you wind up going and I hope Amos gets to experience the sea.

Sounds lovely and so needed :) Hope its warm with clear skies!

I hope you make it down there, you could use the break and I'm sure Amos would love to play in the sand. Take a load off.

Hope you have fun in Rockport and Amos enjoys the ocean

Did you get your meal on a restaurant deck? If you ever desire one much further away from there, let me know.

Hang in there, kiddo.
