aaahhhh…sunday morning, much, much more relaxing than yesterday morning…it’s a rainy day, and i’m just sitting here on the couch, where i’ve been for a good two hours now.

thank goodness it wasn’t rainy like this yesterday.  the sale went…OK.  the most important thing is that we have cleared out lots more stuff from our house.

meanwhile, i have a bunch of pictures from earlier in the month.  here are some photos of kevin attempting to windsurf two weeks ago.  have you watched the wind surfing video yet?  i keep checking on you tube, and barely anybody has watched the video, or any of the videos i’ve posted there, for that matter.  OK, i don’t want to be a big pest , but i would REALLY appreciate it if you bothered to click on the videos.  i realize it does take one whole extra “click” to click on them, but i promise you it’s painless.  i can see by my web statistics that i get many MANY views of the content here, but SURELY you have an extra one to four minutes to watch the videos i’ve posted.  i mean SERIOUSLY, i can’t for the life of me understand why reading this is any less time-consuming than watching the videos.  ONE TO FOUR MINUTES, and most of them are less than ONE MINUTE.  the video of kevin wind surfing might be six whole minutes, but i PROMISE you that it’s entertaining.

maybe it is somehow much much more difficult to actually view the videos that i thought it was.  i just got an e-mail from my friend thad.  i’d kept sending him messages to PLEASE WATCH MY CAKE-DECORATING VIDEO.  i sent him the link to my website.  i’ve had this site for six years, and i know that he’s looked at it at least once.  but he just sent me an e-mail saying that he COULDN’T FIND THE URL FOR THE VIDEO.

thad went to college, got a degree, has had many jobs, works for a big huge fortune 500 company out in washington dc, is in charge of many people, has managed to get promoted when they were firing people by the droves at his firm…AND HE COULDN’T SEEM TO EVEN FIND MY WEBSITE.  like i said, maybe it’s just too complicated…

here are some photos i took with the video camera, because the camera has a fabulous still-photo feature.  i didn’t get any photos of the many many many times he fell in his attempts.  you have to watch the video to see that.

this was the day after the exhausting windsurfing day – kevin took his catamaran out, and it was much easier going.

last saturday he went to some kind of little bitty civil war competition.  i think this is all of the guys that competed – i think it was a pretty rarefied event.  there are no pictures of kevin, because he was doing all the picture-taking.

on tuesday, a heron was posed on the dock in back of the plastic heron.  the plastic one is getting old, and i guess kevin stuck it in the yucca plant, which is why it’s listing to the side like that.

the delicious bottle of dom perignon that kevin bought me for our anniversary…

…and the macallan whiskey i bought for him, along with the lovely roses he got me.

i did stumble outside early yesterday morning to capture a few pictures of the early-morning sky.

there’s a jet going over – that was a really, really early flight.

and here’s kevin and randy, deep in the throes of the exciting garage sale at bev’s house.

i have a video of kevin riding around on david’s power wheelchair that he had for sale.  soon i will put it up here.

ok then,

sunday morning grace.
