I've maxed out. Closed this blog.
This is a way of making myself write something coherent and grammatically correct almost every day. I'm opinionated and need an outlet. I'm also prone to flights of fancy. Thanks for stopping by.

         The ice is still on the sidewalks. The icicles have been knocked off the gutters, and the pathways and roads are clear. It's freezing out, but the sun was bright during the day. In desperation, we held a beach party tonight.

         The youth and some old ladies did the Hawaiian theme decor. The men and boys had a contest for soup and dessert. We had some really good musicians play guitar and ukulele, and some adequate singers. We all sand Under the Boardwalk with printed words. The "Beach Boys" performed, but they played better than they sang.

         We got into the spirit by wearing colorful clothes, flip flops, straw hats and sunglasses. We wore leis, a few wore grass skirts. There was a hula hoop contest and a limbo contest. A 3 year old won the limbo by default.

         It was a pleasant break. Good food, family fun, colorful, and welcome interlude to a winter not ready to leave.

         Maybe some other folks who are snowbound, tired of the ice and the cold, could have their own luau or beach parties.
