Two Sailors

Happy Valentine's Day!

While walking on the beach in the distance I saw what looked like a hammock attached to a pier. Than I saw some movement, not knowing whether it contained one or two bodies, I bravely moved toward it while DH hurriedly walked in the opposite direction.  I met two young people who are in the Navy, based within 30 minutes from here.  John from Indiana and Alex from San Francisco were on a short leave and enjoying the ocean in a slightly different way than while on the base.  When I asked John if it was okay to pitch the hammock there on the beach, he laughed and said, "I didn't ask!"Alex really misses San Francisco, but I think that she has someone here to console her.

  6. Seems like a great idea, unless they doze off and wake up after the tide has come in.

  8. Fantastic post for Valentine's Day! Cute couple, too. I like John's attitude. As we teachers liked to say when faced with recalcitrant and not-too-bright administrators, "It's easier to ask for forgiveness than to ask for permission!"

    Happy Valentine's Day to you and DH - have a wonderful love-filled day!
