Adventures Day 3

It's been so much fun. These past 3 weeks my afternoon off I've been spending photographing bits of my adventures to share with my unicorn. It's so nice to share the magic that I see all around me with someone else, plus it helps grab ahold of them and keep them as memories.
After I got home from work and lunch with friends this morning I spent the next hour or so talking talking to the parents. My dad hasn't been feeling well at all lately, and he just found out one of his lenses got ruined by the sudden downpour the other day when he got caught outside with two cameras to bring to safety.
I got calls from work, one of my kids got arrested and wasn't sure if he'd make it to work... crazy life of the kids from wanchese. Tried to solve that problem, but it took a few hours. We'll see what I walk into tomorrow.
I haven't had the time to hang out with the sisters lately, so I piled them in the car with me to bring along on my adventure. All I really wanted to do was sleep, but sleeping on the beach is more than acceptable. As it turned out, it was super windy and sleeping wasn't going to happen. I was covered in sand in minutes. So, we just swam for a bit. Pretending to be sharks, since everyone is hyper aware that they live in our oceans currently because there have been several bites the last few weeks.
It's so beautiful on Pea Island that we decided we'd dry off by walking around and exploring. We took lots of silly pictures. Jerusha needed water so we cut the adventure short and went back to town to get icecream, and water. :) Ran into more people we know at the icecream shop. Sometimes it's hard to go anywhere here without knowing someone- between all the places on this beach I've worked, and the fact that I have a celebrity brother or 3 and a father that everyone knows- I'm bound to see someone I know. :)
Just as we got home, my phone rang- it was a friend from Ohio just calling to tell me about his life. He's starting a brewery in our old town, and would love it if I would come back. No. Never going to happen. I'm off on my next adventure soon, I told him. He caught me up on the stories of old acquaintances of mine- and stories of his love life. There are very few people that I still keep in contact with after that chapter of my life. I was thinking today he and I used to be really good friends and could talk and be on the same page about things because we were experiencing similar things and had the same friends so everything clicked. Now there is a disconnect. It's those paths we all walk, together with certain people for a time and then someone takes a path that juts off in a different direction and they start to experience new things and people and they change.  Granted, I'm the one that usually does the leaving. But I have learned that leaving is alright if done for the right reasons.
I read this article yesterday, and it's pretty much true for me. To Love a Girl Who Wanders

Anyway- my adventures have ended for the day and I am tired. Maybe I'll be able to watch some of the movie my unicorn has recommended before I fall asleep.
