Thanks for the wine Tom and Debbie (Thor's Dad), plus the cheese, crackers, and summer sausage sound great for friday.
I believe the ocean is a bit too chilly for me at this time, but I do recall Emily (Clifford's mom) in the water with her wet suit on and plenty of surfers in too with their wet suits.
I will bring my k-9 III blower to help dry off the dogs and get sand off before bed. Just let me know if you need to use it. Should anyone else bring theirs, I'll let you know I tripped a breaker when I turned on the second motor. I don't know if it was all the extra lights on, because I just started using the outlet in the parking lot next to the soda machine.
Also, I hate to sound like miss bratty bossypants, but I'd just like to remind everyone to leave their rooms at least as clean as when you arrived, so management will still like us and let us back next year. Oh, please be respectul of the maids too. There is one who is absolutely, ballistically terrified of dogs, especially big and black ones. Whenever we see her we give her a heads up that we'll be passing by with our dog. This is the first year of the new mgmt., so I'm not sure what to expect.
