This was the beach yesterday, the day after school started.
This photo reflected to me the essence of relaxing enjoyment after the crowds have gone.
I almost wanted to go get a chair and sit beside this woman and help her relax and watch the duck.
It was another gorgeous day. The beach was busy, but I could tell from the general age of visitors walking around that this was most likely a day they had waited all summer to enjoy.
Definitely a different demographic from what I saw on other visits to the beach this summer. Could be a lot more Idaho license plates in the parking lot.
It's always nice when the tourism influx slows down considerably. In Sandpoint's case, that's not much these days, but it's noticeable.
I read that Trinity had its last day this weekend.
And, so I wonder what the scene will be in this spot a year from now when the new resort complex starts taking shape.
Check back. I'll mark it on the calendar to go take a picture.
In other news, I did not want to go to physical therapy yesterday.
My body was still reeling from the Covid shot, and for some reason, physical therapy seemed like the last thing I'd like to add to my day of misery.
Having a rather well-developed dutiful streak, however, I made myself go.
It was kinda fun sitting in the waiting room, which was full. At physical therapy sessions, the clients talk about what body parts are giving them fits.
In one case, a gentleman told me that he had had shoulder surgery a year ago and then reinjured the shoulder. So, he'll have to do it all over again.
He also had endured knee experiences, and that's where I fit in with my torn meniscus. It's nice to have everyone on a common plane where they can all identify with each other's concerns.
Anyway, I must say that the physical therapy session took me over the obstacle of trying to feel better again. I went home feeling half human.
This morning I told Bill it's absolutely amazing how good you feel the SECOND day after the shot.
Besides the after effects of the shot, I had another situation that set me back, mainly because of the embarrassment.
After all the planning and noting of details for our trip, I discovered that I had booked two important events on the same day.
Twas definitely an OMG moment which elicited some words I won't use on the blog.
Thankfully, the problem has been rectified, minus the disappointment that we had to eliminate one item on our itinerary.
For one who faithfully crosses the t's and dots the i's with pretty much everything, I was beyond taken aback.
I guess it's good to have humbling days every so often.
After physical therapy, I walked around the healing garden at Bonner General Hospital.
It was a busy place yesterday with young and old walking about, enjoying the beauty.
Several of these moths were flying around my deck last night, landing on petunias for split-second visits and then launching off for the next bloom.
I was lucky enough to catch one in action with my iPhone.
Off in Spain, Annie's not having the best day today. She has caught a bug, so I wasn't sure about the status of her blog post for today.
The other current family traveler, my sister Laurie, departed with her horse Pache for Ohio yesterday.
This morning our sister Barbara posted this report and the photo.
From Barbara:
Laurie
spent Wednesday morning preparing Pache for his trip across the country
to Ohio to compete in the U.S. National Arabian Sport Horse Nationals.
After one last home bath, Pache's legs were wrapped up and then he was
loaded in his cozy trailer and then they were off. The first day of
travels was the shortest as they traveled as far as Frenchtown, MT to
meet up with brother Kevin.
They have 3 more long days of travel ahead of them before they arrive in Wilmington, Ohio at the World Equestrian Center.
They will start competition in Basic and Level 1 Western Dressage starting next Tuesday.
Guess that's all for today.
Happy Thursday.
For a few reasons, this video seems appropriate today.
