We bought some tables for Ralph's living room from an ad on Craigslist last weekend. We were able to load the coffee table and two end tables in our Honda Accord because we could remove the glass tops. He had car-pooled home for the weekend and couldn't take them back with him. Matt helped me take them apart again and load them in my car on Friday. I've delivered them here in Virginia Beach and they look great!

I am enjoying the weekend. We did quite a lot of shopping on Saturday. Today, we got out to a breakfast at IHOP and caught a matinee of "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince". We both enjoyed that. I have promised myself we will see the final movie at an IMAX theater. We were weighing whether to see it sooner or wait to see it in 3D. Both have good points. This one would have been worth waiting for.

Then we checked out the nearby beach on Chesapeake Bay. That was quite enjoyable. The wave action is stronger, but there is shade from the bridge abutments. People were fishing, and large and small boats were coming and going in the channel. People were throwing out chicken wings to fish for crabs. It reminded me of taking the kids fishing in Tampa when they were little. We'd go under the bridge abutments and throw out cast nets to get bait and fish. Ralph usually spent all his time helping the rest of the family bait hooks or untangle lines! At Chesapeake Bay, one part allows swimming, the other does not, but the walk is fine and it's a pleasant place with a great breeze. I'll go again prepared to stay longer.
