How absurd men are! They never use the liberties they have, they demand those they do not have.
They have freedom of thought, they demand freedom of speech.

Vacation . . . and another unusual pet!

Sorry for the lack of stuff around here. We've been at Jekyll Island this week. (I'll add pictures to this post when I have them available.) The weather cooperated for the most part. The only really bad weather was a thunderstorm late Wednesday night. Everything was gloriously uncrowded; we had the beach practically to ourselves for our morning walks and afternoons in the water. We played mini-golf, bicycled around the Historic District and the beach, saw dolphins, played in the ocean and pool, ate a nice meal at "Seajays," and unintentionally brought back a hermit crab from "Driftwood Beach." We didn't discover the crab until today. His name is Hermie. So, last week it was a garter snake (who is now called "Junior" instead of the confusing "Mac"); this week a hermit crab! I can't wait to see what animal next week brings!
