Three Thing Thursday

This is from one of my favorite beaches: Emerald Beach in St. Thomas Aaron's Beach in Mathews. Monday evening I drove down there to snap some pictures and pick up some broken beer bottles sea glass. It was blowin' pretty hard (as they like to say around here) which kept away the horseflies and mayflies that normally dive-bomb trespassers beach goers this time of year.

Speaking of wind blowing and hot air, it's time for Three Ring Circus Thing Thursday, where I share three random things and you share three things, anything at all--whatever tickles your fantasy, as my Finnish friend likes to say.

My three things:

1. In preparation for Blog Fest, I made a list of things I need to do and things I need to acquire. The list is 6 pages long. Blog Fest is 2 weeks away. CBW's meltdown is 2 weeks minus 1 day away. The math and numerical portion of this post is now over.

2. Middle Sister gets married in Hawaii next Tuesday. Let's hope she doesn't leave her car keys in Hawaii like she did in Mathews this past weekend. In typical Chesapeake Bay Family Member style, she of course had no spares and had to leave her car at the Atlanta airport until I could overnight them to her. Except you can't overnight from Hudgins, VA--fyi. At least not unless you go first thing in the morning, rub a rabbit's foot and click your heels three times, all the while reciting, "This is the 21st century. This is the 21st century."

3. What are you doing for the 4th of July? There will be fireworks at Mathews High School, but nothing can compete with years past when boats would anchor right off Gwynn's Island to watch a spectacular display.

Now it's your turn. Three things. Or thirty three things, I don't care. Anything you want.

Happy Thursday. (Wasn't it just Thursday yesterday?)

A Winner

Tuesday evening I went to random.org and told Mr. Random Number Generator that I needed a number, and before I could bat an eye he said Number 18.

The 18th comment was left by commenter and contributor Anonymous Mathews Native!

Anonymous Mathews Native has deep roots in the county and played high school basketball with Baby Sister. Although I've not met her in person yet (have I?), I feel as though I know her well. She has great taste in colleges and hopefully makes a mean ham biscuit since I'm counting on her bringing some to Blog Fest. Her contributions to the comments section as well as the stories she's written for guest posts are outstanding.

AMN has a Mumma with a zero-turn lawn mower who likes to look--and smell-- her freshest when going out in the middle of the night to chase down cows that have busted loose. I can't wait to meet AMN and family soon, and hopefully AMN's Mumma will write down some of her stories and legends.
