Rogue Wave ... Goodbye 2020!

corner of hot tub lifted
Well to end 2020 we were visited by a Rogue Wave on Christmas Eve.  Yup this is the damage along with our swimming pool now holding salt water! It wasn't a tropical storm or hurricane, just a thunderstorm ...

So some pavers were torn up, the perimeter fence knocked down and bent, pool loungers tossed everywhere, and sandy water all across the ground floor and lobby.

I must admit the gate still standing with no fence into the pool area is amusing!


Of course there is always something new on the beach - this time we have had people digging to China - never seen such a deep hole - and of course despite speaking with the beach patrol, they failed to fill it in ... just hope no one breaks a leg in one of these 'de-construction feats'left behind.

If it looks like they are racing around the hole, they did and played in it like a reverse pyramid - no idea what the game was for young adult men ---- but at least it keeps us entertained during COVID 'stay at home' routine! 


With a recent gift of holiday fabric and some INSPIRE, I made some Christmas bowls and a posy basket, in which I plan to keep my face masks handy at the entry for any knocks on the door.
              

Believe it or not I was up early-ish the other morning and got this lovely shot.  

2020 wasn't all bad and I count my blessings --  Good bye to 2020!

  1. Vaccines for 65+ began this week, but impossible to get an appointment 3,000 doses for 250,000 people.

    Congress got thru the process and affirmed the electoral college votes albeit in the early hours of this morning. Lots of work to do and threats remain on social media despite Facebook blocking the president’s accounts. 14 police officers hurt, 4 people dead, people resigning from White House, some Congress persons saying right things but underlying issues remain. I don’t see much violence this morning ... we had a few parading trump flags on the beach and at street corners Tuesday morning.
