I'm back...

from vacation!!! I got back Monday night pretty late and we just headed to bed. The Jersey Shore was good. Great beach weather, although the water was about 60 degrees and your legs got numb after one minute. We were only there for three days, so we really did not get a chance to do all we we wanted. We went to the boardwalk, rode the tram car (my daughter loves that), ate out, bought fudge, and played miniature golf! We hit no traffic either way-who could ask for anything more! Here is a picture of my daughter playing miniature golf for the first time in Wildwood, NJ.


Yesterday we went to a local parade in Peekskill, NY and that was fun. We went to my parents house for a BBQ. My daughter conked out at 9 PM. I was considering going to a fireworks show last night, but 10 PM was too late for her. I have not seen fireworks up close in years. Maybe next year!

Today is my best friend's birthday. The present I ordered and paid for 8 days ago on ebay still was not mailed!! I have other presents for her. Still, it's the principal. I called her and wished her happy birthday-we spoke for a while and then she had to leave, she was going to the movies with the kids. I did see her yesterday at the parade. I saw her Friday night when a bunch of friends went out dancing. I had a good time Friday night and would have hung out more, but I had to get up early Saturday. Her other friend, the baby's godmother was there Friday night and yesterday. It was hard. I acted polite. I made small talk. It's still so hard and so hurtful. I will see her later this week to give her birthday presents and possibly catch something to eat.

Things are strange between us. I still don't know where I stand. I will give it another week and see if we are OK. I call her and she talks to me. Almost like it used to be. I know she wants to be mad at me, but I don't think she can really bring herself to do it. I can hear in it her voice for the first 30 seconds of the conversation and then she is her old self. I am trying so hard to be good and accepting and understanding. I hope she feels the same way and that we could put this behind us and move forward. I must be feeling better, I am eating more!

I will leave you with a few more pictures of Wildwood!
