Well the presentation in Houston wasn't exactly what I expected. I was told the room held 150.... and in actuality... 20 came! Oh well. My presentation was compelling and interesting. Just ask Scott... he decided to come along on this trip. My mom was so wonderful to keep my kids... even with dad out of town. My friend Christi helped with my dogs... and away we went. The presentation was over around 2:30 and we took our chance and shot down 45 to Galveston. Normally we don't get the chance to see the beach but once a year. This was a quick afternoon. I did get to feel the toes in the water...the toes in the sand... and hear the waves crash around me. There is no sound that equals.
My presentation.... promised mom we would take a picture
The beach..... breathe it in....
Dinner at Landry's. I really loves eating dinner while looking at the waves roll in one after another.
Scott was maybe the quietest on this trip than I ever remember him being... very reflective and quiet.... what's up with that?
These remind me of the damage that this area had as a result of hurricane IKE just one year ago. There are so many reminders of the strong waves and high wind and water. I thought they were a reminder that the sea is living and breathing.... with rises and falls..... chaos and peace.
I always love to see a bird, just a bit different from the rest. And watch them search for the next little tiny fish.
Even though we were only on the sand for an hour or so...... it refreshed my soul. It only took a few moments and the stress of work and health and all of my thoughts and fears.... melted away.... and It was just me and the sea....
I hope to see my good friend again soon. It is shame we only get together once a year... in summer.... maybe i need to visit the sea more often.
