Hot Summer Daze

I can't remember when it has been as hot as it is this early in the summer. This almost makes me what to move north. I used to love summer as a kid, even up until recently really. I just cannot take the heat anymore. It was so hot today at 9am, that by the time I got home I was literally in a daze. It is the perfect time to be in Sea Isle City, New Jersey. The ocean is so beautiful and the beach is the place to be this time of year. There is hardly anyone there and for the most part, I would have the beach all to myself.

I am home now with my granddaughters and there is no better place to be. I do feel like I already have gone crazy, with all the screaming and yelling an eight month old can do, and all of the "will you read me a story, can I read you a story, will you paint my nails, let's play Barbie, lets color, lets paint and about a million other requests that might come from a 7 year old. Oh, they are great, living with them is almost more than an old granny like me really needs, but they sure do make ya smile when your down or run to get something for ya when your back or legs ache.

So when I start to miss the ocean breeze and the soft sands of the beach, I can always just grab a kid and either get drooled on, pooped on, painted on, or have my ear talked off about Justin Beber, yes, my 7 year old has developed her first crush, and maybe these hot summer days will not keep me in a daze at all.
