Saturdays at the Shore

Saturday is a long day.  I am up early to walk before work, and see departing tenants looking sad as they pack their cars for the ride home.  By mid-moring, the cleaning crews scatter the island for the change-overs.  By early afternoon, the next group of tenants arrive – anxious to get to their rental houses and on the beach. 

In the evening, the smell of steaks on the grill surrounds you. Outside showers are running, and beach chairs and toys are piled in side yards.  After dark, the decks are filled with happy people grateful to be on vacation.  The “happy people” can be a bit frustrating for those of us who work the next day and are trying to sleep!

But, the trade off of coping through a handful of Saturday nights is well worth the benefits of living in a seashore community.
