I was so excited to sit outside and write this blog . A beautiful evening  with a wonderful ocean breeze. So I diligently covered myself with bug spray and after the 10th bite I gave up and returned to the screened porch. One of the truths about the beach this summer is the mosquitos are awful.

But as long as there is an ocean breeze the best place for cocktails is on the beach.One of my favorite parts of beach life is the outside shower. For those of us who have grown up at the beach an outside shower a way a life. After a day in the ocean it is a house rule you shower outside. I think I have shocked many a house guest when I handed them a towel and said you are a guest you can shower first. 

In case I scared some of you this is the outside of the shower.
More tomorrow about the joys of life at the beach.
