A day with the man I love.

Today, which would be July 3rd,  was a very nice day. I got to sleep in and then get up at a leisurely pace and got ready to go to the beach.  You see it has been right at 100 degrees for the past week. Our AC was not working so we have been suffering with the heat.  Well the AC got fixed yesterday and so today we were free to do what we wanted.  So around noon we left for the beach.  It was nice to feel the air cool as I drove from my home to the SCV.  From there it just got better.  Who can say they love the beach when it is over cast?  I can ...Charlie and just love it.  We loaded our ice chests with water, beer and deli sandwiches at Vons and headed to our favorite camping spot Emma Wood. State Beach  We just used the day use area because we knew not a lot of people would be there. We were right. We hauled our chairs, blankets and ice chests down to the beach and sat together for the next 3 hours.  Charlie read his Truck magazine and I read the play "The Picnic" for my Acting class I am taking.  I was hoping to find my monologue in the play but didn't.
Here is our self portrait we took today..

The kissing picture is similar to a photo I have from the same spot about 5 years ago.  We had planned a camping  trip to the beach because I needed to get away.  It was before I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia and did not know what was going on with me I just knew I was a mess and no knew why. It was a very stressful time and I was having a really hard time with my upper back pain. Before we made the trip I had to go to a physical therapy appointment.  Charlie came with me but ran off to do something while I was having my treatment.  When he returned he had bought me a small gift.  It was this Pooh Bear frame. and this is it with a photo taking during our camping trip. He is such a special man and I am very lucky to have him in my life.
