Praise the Lord for sunshine

Did you all notice the sun today? It was interesting to see people coming to Church with sun glasses.After Church we went to Mcdonald's for lunch and had a deli sandwich meal. We went home and changed out of our Sunday clothes and away we went. George, Roxy, our dog and myself took a leisurely ride along North Bluff road to White Rock. There were so many beautiful trees with pink and white blossoms and very wooly sheep in the pastures. White rock was extremely busy. It felt like the first day of summer. The sun was shining and the tide was out and many people were basking in the sun eating fish and chips and ice cream. I have to admit that George and I had our waffle cones as well. George had a double chocolate and I had my favorite maple walnut. We walked with the dog to the pier and then I sat down with the dog on a bench and a very official aged man came and told me dogs were not allowed at the beach. I told him that the dog was on my lap. He informed me that I was not even allowed to carry my dog. He informed me that I would have to take the dog up to the main road, Marine drive and walk on the sidewalk all the way back to our car which was about half an hour walk.We did walk a ways down and noticed that he was heading back to the pier so we went back to our regular walk. George said he would never be able to make it from one end to the other because he looked so old.Of course I went to the water. It was actually not that cold.. The air was so fresh. I really had to pull myself away from that beautiful ocean. The good thing is it's not too far away. In my mind I had a mini vacation.YAY! We had a another leisurely drive home. The good news is that the sun is still shining here in Abbotsford. I say thank you Lord! May you all have a wonderful week full of pleasant surprises.
