A Beach House Trip on a Chilly Saturday

That Old House is home all alone today;

Howard and Dion and I are here:

 We're at the family beach house, because the weather is getting cold,

and if the water around the dock freezes, the tides can lift the pilings right out of their footings.

That is not a Good Thing.

So Howard, my brother Lindy and brother-in-law Bill will be out on the dock, installing an Ice Eater.

That is a nifty gizmo that kicks on when the temperature dips below freezing,

and keeps the water churning.

Still waters run deep.

Churning waters don't freeze.

But it will be cold out on that dock.

My sister Peg, sister in law Carol, and I will stay inside the house.

Or, go shopping.   :-)   Have a lovely Saturday! -- Cass

Since the beach house, out on eastern Long Island, has long been a favorite of mine, I'm linking to A Few Of My Favorite Things Saturday, at Bargain Hunting and Chatting with Laurie.
