Then I Watch 'Em Roll Way Out Again


If any of you have ever been to this area of Florida, you get the "Tates Helles" reference. If you don't and are interested, just google Tate's Hell and see what you find. 

This is such a gentle, laid-back vacation. The boys of course necessarily inform our days and evenings as much as the weather does. And they have been mostly sweet even if the weather was wild and it seems that the weather too is beginning to calm down. As Mr. Moon says, "Tomorrow maybe the seas will lay down."

We went to Apalachicola today just to drive around and stop at the Big Pig which I have now declared as the most depressing grocery store in the world. If I lived in Apalach, I'd drive to the Little Pig to shop. I swear. But who cares? We're at the beach. 


Absolutely unlimited amounts of dirt to move and shape and mold and build with. An ocean full of water to haul to mix with the sand to create dream castles. 

I'm making Slothy a blanket. 


Slothy is August's stuffed sloth whom he sleeps with. Last night he told me, "Slothy brings me comfort."

Two days ago he said, "Boppy lets us watch TV. Mer wipes butts."

I feel so incredibly lucky. 

Love...Ms. Moon

  1. I believe you should tuck in a little note: Mer wipes butts and makes blankets.

  2. I remember reading about the Tate's Hell legend years ago but had forgotten much of it. Thanks for the reminder to refresh my memory. Quite a tale...Don't fuck with the medicine man!
    The littl blanket is beautiful. Love the colors!
    I agree the Big Pig is depressing. I look at it as a necessary evil. The little Pig has come quite a ways in what they carry. Was shocked last time we were there to find organic chicken thighs! It's a shame they can't have a Publix.
    I just looked at the live cam at the Blue Parrot and see a gorgeous almost full moon rising. So jealous. But glad you are there to enjoy it.

  4. Ha-ha-ha! August's quotes belong in a book of wise sayings. Should you ever die which is highly unlikely I know, they should put "Mer Wiped Butts" on your gravestone. I hope that the weather is good today.

  8. baby boomers are already getting treated like crap in retirement homes. A couple months ago there was a video of a black guy punching a 75 year old boomer repeatedly in the face in a retirement home. Hey, maybe you boomers shouldn't have favored blacks and minorities over your own white children with your political correctness, multiculturalism bullshit? You boomers are getting exactly what you fucking deserve. Enjoy those retirement homes, boomer scum!
