I am late with a post this week, but in my defense, I was at the beach with my family all last week and am still in lazy, vacation mode. I thought I’d better post something in the way of explanation, so as not to upset my tens and tens of readers.
I had a wonderful time and though my days of sun worshipping are far behind me*, I was still able to enjoy the beach and frolic…..(yes, I frolic), thanks to adaptive equipment (like the all-terrain wheelchair in the photo) and more importantly the help of my spectacular family.
I was once loathe to ask for help. I’m still somewhat hesitant, but that’s just foolish pride rearing its head. Truth be told, I never even had to ask for help. It came without bidding from the depths of my family’s love and good graces.
I’m not sure what I ever did to deserve it and I hope I make myself just a little worthy of it.
That’s it for this week. An explanation and a weak attempt at expressing my gratitude for family making the inaccessible…..accessible.
* I never really had sun worshipping days. Although it’s grey now, my hair was once blonde and my eyes are blue. We are of Northern European descent and are a pale, non-tanning people.

Always and forever Ben, wherever, whenever, no asking required because we treasure each moment and the memories made and love you and your family beyond words! ❤ Now we need to schedule that facetime to get our abs checked🤣
Who’s cutting onions in here?
Did you test the limitations of that bad-a$$ ATW?
Yes I did. Top speed about 3 mph. Fording depth about 12 inches. Suspension…….non-existent. lol
Sounds like you have a lovely family Ben 🙂 My parents are Scottish and though I have brown hair (ahem, with a *bit* of grey) and blue eyes my skin prefers to stay ghostly white! I am very jealous of the wheelchair, its been ages since I have been on the sand.
They are lovely and more than I deserve. I am so grateful and hope, hope, hope that I would be as good if the situation were reversed.
The first Hofmeister to marry after immigrating to the US, married a McCutcheon, so my odds of tanning are not good.
