i totally wiped out at the beach today. i was chasing jim, ran into the water, stepped in a hole and did a belly flop! it didn't hurt, though, and was actually quite fun. it was funny, though, because calvin did the same thing, but he flipped on his back! i love the beach. i will hopefully be able to go 1 or 2 times next week, too.

the vintage emporium

i love it when elderly people come into the store when im working. they are usually the more talkative people, and they have great stories! they all come in and say "i used to have this!" and then they will launch into a story about other things they used to own. one guy just came in and was telling me about his salsbury scooter, and about some famous singer, and about when he was 15.
