Last night Kate had everyone convinced we needed to go to the beach and re-dig the hole from the prior night. With an assist from Pleep and Ed, it didn't take as long. The purpose of the project was to pose a picture of Kate reminiscent of the days when she was shorter than her mother. Plus, Kate was hoping that the nice boy from Georgia she had met earlier in the day would show up and help. He was staying in a neighboring condo so we thought there might be a slight chance. Pleep suggested that perhaps her odds on that would have been better if she had given him her cell number.Once the hole was dug, everyone helped bury Kate in it. Ed helped insure she was firmly cemented in by ferrying water back and forth from the ocean. Unfortunately, the only thing he had was the small pink shovel. Pleep made a lot of noise about Ed and the girly shove
l but was careful to stay out of range. During the ferrying process, Pleep snuck in a picture session with Kate and Tammy. Everyone was very pleased with the result; Kate only reached to Tammy's shoulders. It was a bit like the Tim Conway gig where he played the short people. Pleep pointed out that while Kate did indeed appear to be shorter, it was easy to see that something was wrong based on where Kate's waist was in relation to her mother.
The weatherman predicted rain for the afternoon, so everyone headed out to the beach early Sunday morning. Plus, Kate thought there might be a small chance or running into the young man. Upon hearing he was from Georgia, Pleep aptly nicknamed him "Georgia Boy" and admonished Kate that the wise girl usually asks for the boy's name. Fortunately for everyone, Georgia Boy, whose name turned out to be Adam, promptly appeared and joined in the daily hike. Kate and Adam abandoned the walkers at the 2 mile mark, heading back to his family setup on the beach. Pleep observed that Kate finding a new friend was very lucky for Tammy. It meant that Tammy did not have to get up every 10 minutes to boogie board, run around on the sandbar, swim etc.
The afternoon thunderstorms finally materialized around 2:00 and everyone had to scurry indoors. Kate's project this evening will be to start pulling the dried, dead mollusks out of the shells. Pleep pointed out that the smell on the deck was not pleasant so he really wants her to get things shaped up.
