cabin fever!!!

a common occurance:
palm branches on the windshield
after parking the car.
i love it!

my recovery is coming along very nicely. i seem to be able to move with minimal pain which is wonderful. the toilet seat is still a long ways down but that is getting easier too and i am thankful for that.

i read somewhere that we really heal best 'laying down'. so i have been trying to do that alot. i have one challenge though: boredom!! i have been watching alot of movies. well actually i have been watching the special features of movies because i am one of these kinds of people that doesnt really like to see a movie twice. lately i have been watching the Lord of the Rings appendices and it is fascinating to learn how they chose the actors, made the sets, were able to make the hobbits looks like hobbits, how they made the monsters, chose the music.. etc. etc. etc. so fascinating and interesting!!

but yesterday afternoon i was at the height of going 'stir crazy' and i looked at bob and said,

'do you want to go for an icecream?'
pleading.. begging.. desperate!
*smile*

we have a favorite place to go in west end (cream of the trop) but it was closed. in fact alot of places are closed due to things being so slow on the island. So we opted to just go to a little grocery store in west end and buy a fudgiscle. We sat out on the dock and ate our icecream and enjoyed the ending of another beautiful day.

it was delightful to be out. it was beautiful beautiful afternoon. the best time of day (other then early morning) is late afternoon because the sun is low in the sky and sits so warm, and golden on everything. it so beautiful!! and short walks and visit by the sea are excellent for healing too!

here are some photos.

this boy was having a blast playing on this broken surf board!

it was such a gorgeous afternoon. we are sitting on a dock like this but not two story

as i was eating my icecream i watched this guy playing football in the water then later he came and sat on this post on the wharf. great silhouette.
his name is stephen.

the kids enjoyed playing in the water. i under exposed this it was really sunny and bright.

and this was the icing on the cake that made the drive so worth while:
HOW GLORIOUS IS THAT??
