A little ocean time

For a prairie girl, I sure do love the ocean. And this is what I love to do with it:

1. Walk up and down the beach listening to my music (Matt Maher, Lauren Daigle, Francesca Battistelli. . . .) We stayed at Deerfield Beach this year, which is about 40 minutes north of Ft. Lauderdale.

2. Sit and read, read, read! I am still working on this novel about George Washington's spy ring in the Revolutionary War. The first novel completed on this trip was The Good Girl by Mary Kubica, which I highly recommend! Even though the weather forecast going in didn't look too promising, we were blessed with party cloudy skies and only rain while we were eating and didn't want to be on the beach anyway!

Since the Twins weren't playing on the east coast this year, we checked out the Miami Heat schedule. They were playing the Cleveland Cavaliers, so it was a great opportunity to see LeBron James play against his former team.

 The game ended up being a blow out, but we did see Dwyane Wade make his 20,000th point in the NBA. You don't see that every day! Well, at least I don't. . . .

Monday was cooler and we were getting ready to return to South Dakota once again!

 But, not before one last palm tree photo!
