UMBRELLA LOVE

My favorite accessory this summer for the beach or pool is a little clip on umbrella I bought a few weeks ago at CVS. Under $10 too.
It's easy to clip on to the back of my pool chair or the arm of a beach chair.

Perfect to keep the sun off my face and hair. I hate having to wear a hat....too hot and I don't like "hat hair"...LOL!
I'm still not getting in the pool (other than a VERY quick dip right by the stairs) although I haven't seen a "you know what" in weeks. Thank you Lord.

Good news...so far, no oil on our beaches.

Bad news...George hasn't been feeling good so we had to cancel our dental appointments. Chills, fever, aching, no appetite. The doctor thinks it's viral. First his fall and now this. Bless his heart. He's had a rough 10 days.



"Father, help me to be a blessing to someone today."

Poor George needs to see a Dr. or make a trip to the ER. He might have some type of internal injury that can't be seen from the outside. He definitely is running fever, poor thing.

Poor George! There's lots of crazy bugs going around in our area too.
Nice umbrella and what a great price! Glad there have been no snakes...

Sending good healthy thoughts to George. There seems to be quite a few "bugs" going around right now. Send him back to bed with Miss Daisy by his side and he'll recover much faster....Sharon

Hope George improves rapidly . Umbrellas are always photogenic!!!

Poor George. When it rains it pours! Hope he has better days. My daughter purchased that umbrella and uses it outside when her special ed class has recess. She said she is the most popular teacher on the playground as all the kids want to sit with her under the umbrella and tell her all their families gossip:-) I think your snakes cousin lives in my flower bed and I am sure you heard my screams all the way to Florida! Gave me the willies!

LUV your new umbrella.....it's perfect!!!!~ I don't like getting my face in the sun either and I hate wearing hats or sunvisors, the visors always make my head hurt!!!

Poor George, I hope he feels better soon!

Love that umbrella idea thanks Kat...

I also love Lee Child, my son turned me on to him, he recently met him and had a book autographed it's called "Gone Tomorrow" it with Reacher...

I just finished Remember Me, can't think of the author/ Sophie something first time I've read her?? but it was great !!!

Poor George so glad if this had to happen it happened AFTER the wedding !!

Also I'm glad there is no oil, saw on TV last night that hay can absorb it...wonder why they haven't tried that yet ??

All the best,
Kathy :)

I am praying for you all. Hope George gets better soon. Poor thing. Take care of yourself too so you don't come down with something. Loving the umbrella. What a great price. I am going to see if our CVS has those. Thanks for showing that. Your pool/patio looks fabulous. Sorry your still not using the pool. Is there any service that you could call down there that could come do a snake check and check those rocks for you?

Well, there is a CVS within walking distance (well...some people could walk...not me!) anyway, I go in there at least once or twice a week..I'm scout out one of those under-brellas (as my Ian used to say!)

I have some friends living at PCB and they say they don't have any oil yet. It still makes me want to bite nails when I think of it!

Poor George - he needs a break!

Love the umbrella and what a great price too. Wish you could enjoy your pool though without being worried ... it looks so inviting.

Please tell George we're all praying for him to get better. Poor guy, he's been through a lot with that fall. Take care of you too. xxoo

Kathy, Hope George is on the mend soon. Thanks for sharing all the pictures with us, especially me. I live in the "Great Northeast" NY and our temps tonight will be in the 40's!!! Like the umbrella, we'll be needing it for rain this week here and not sunshine. Hugs.

Alan had the same virus Thursday through Sunday. His fever was 101.6 and he was weak and ached all over. My neighbor who is a doctor had it at the same time. It must be all over the country. I am so sorry that George has to endure it too! Life is not fair!

May none of the rest of us get it!
