Kathy's Visit - Tuesday, September 19, 2017

Foggy start to the day this early Wednesday morning. A very much appreciated visit from Kathy yesterday on the anniversary of David's death. After a delicious dinner which Kathy brought and cooked, we took a stroll on the beach looking for treasures to use for art.

Her bag contains some great pieces of flotsam, from the French "floter" to float and refers to stuff that is result of an accident or a shipwreck, and jetsam, from the French word "jeter" word to toss or throw as in our word jettison and refers to stuff deliberately tossed overboard to lighten to load to reduce the likelihood of a boat sinking.

We found several pieces of beach glass wave and sand-scarred-smoothly and lovely. Unfortunately Kathy and I have many four footed furry friends so our visits are way too short. We speak the same language, we're on the same page, so we don't need to discuss politics, religion, philosophy, etc. We just relax and enjoy our times together. Of course we do talk about dogs and dog people. Clicking on photos enlarges them.
