A good day

Tomorrow is Mother's Day, but today felt like it should have been my mother's day. It was a great day. We went to the airport this morning because it's the 50th anniversary of the Ocean City Airport. It was nice to visit with people and we always like being there.

Then today was also the Jazz & Blues Festival in Berlin. I went by myself for a while so I could go into the shops and browse while the music was playing outside. Then Jay and I went back later to listen to our friend Chris English who was playing his classic delta blues at the 3:30 set. I always love listening to Chris. It was awesome.

Then we went to Three Brothers in north Ocean City. They were having a slow day, so we were able to visit with folks that work there. It turns out, that one of the new guys, lives in our neighborhood. He's actually on the HOA board for the townhouses. He recognized Jay. We weren't sure if that was a good thing because half the folks agree with us on the evilness of HOA's and half love the damn things. Well, this guy agreed with us for the most part. He's doing what we tried to do at first ... if you can't beat 'em, join 'em. We were on one of the committees when we first moved here thinking we could make some changes for the better. We were wrong. But Mike is still trying. I hope he has better luck than we did. But it was a fun chat. He actually misses Jay speaking out. :-)

Then, on the way home Jay actually offered to stop at Roses (a local department store) so I could look for my 100th pair of flip flops. :-) I admired a woman's flip flops at the airport this morning and he remembered that. And, knowing how much I love flip flops, we stopped in on our way home. And, of course, I found a pair that I liked and got them.

So I feel like I've had mother's day already. The only odd thing is that my lip has swollen for some reason. And I've been coughing a lot today. Probably an allergy thing. Oh well. I don't know what's causing, but there's nothing I'd change about today, so I guess I'll just have to live with the fat lip.

I hope everyone has as good a Mother's Day tomorrow.
