Living the Life

Theo decided to paint our bedroom yesterday of which I was not able to help due to my back injury, so, with Rain in Toronto with grandmother, it left me alone with Cassidy. What to do what to do. We hopped on the bike and rode the 5 minutes to the beach and had a lovely day. The beach here isn't so busy on the weekdays (compared to the weekend which is a madhouse) so we quickly found a space on the west shore (most people hang at the east shore close to the shops) and hit the surf. Beatiful warm day with a strong breeze creating good sized waves. When the waves hit the sandbars they get good elevation and you can body surf. We swam for almost 2 hours (water was warmer than my pool) and then rested for awhile on the beach. Then we walked the beach to Mr. B's (no relation to Mrs. B's in the Soo) for homemade icecream. Swam some more and then got back on the bike to visit the grandparents. Home for supper and then another swim this time in our pool. Bath time for Cassidy and then bed and then lying on the couch watching a movie with Theo (who was in a "good" mood *wink*). I mean how many other places can you enjoy this lifestyle? I can't walk too far right now (health is improving quickly though) but I can bike for long periods of time making the whole town easily accessible. What I love the most is that while riding around just about everyone says hello (if they don't say hi chances are they are tourists). Cassidy has picked up on this and she frantically waves to every passer-by saying "Hello you there", "Hey guys. Its me, Cassidy" "Hello everbody. Thats my Dad. He's riding the bike." I keep saying to everyone that we live in Pleasantville and so far no one who has visited has said otherwise. Its a big reason we have visitors all summer which is fine by me. Share the wealth I say.
