Summer has come and gone so fast! I was missing the ocean so much, so this week I met an old friend down in Spring Lake to enjoy one of the last days of summer. I brought a pink noodle, a weekender and a bag of books which I never actually read. :) But the water was perfect and the first day had perfect weather too! We drove down to Point Pleasant for dinner and (of course!) my beloved Skee Ball. Good times! Because my friend was new to it, I gave her my winning tickets. Combined with her tickets, she was able to choose a deluxe jump rope. I usually just get an eraser or parachute man. (also cool) And speaking of parachute man—they seem to have discontinued that goodie for good. I enjoyed tossing him off second story buildings so that a kid on the boardwalk below could wonder where it came from! Small pleasures…
