Beach Trip Is Off

Every year I look forward to our beach trip that we take in the fall, but right now I'm disappointed. Hubby and I were afraid we wouldn't be able to go because of the financial situation we ended up in after his wreck, but that changed for us. We canceled our original trip because of that, but last weekend we discussed it with our friends and decided to plan the trip again.

Today I made some calls about getting a rental house, and because it's last minute I didn't know how much luck I would have, but I found some great deals. I found one near the boat landing that would be perfect, especially since one of our friends who lives nearby always comes down to do some boating in the river. There are some nice sandbars that are perfect for lounging out or having a picnic when the tide is low. It's like your own private little beach with dolphins swimming around.

I called my friend to tell her about it, and she dropped the bad news. Her dad has to have surgery that week, so they won't be able to make it. Without them we can't afford the place, so it looks like we'll be putting off our trip this year. I can't get upset them having to back out. It's totally understandable, and I would actually be pretty pissed at her if she decided to go to the beach while her dad's having surgery. Hopefully we can reschedule it later next month, but we'll have to see how it goes.

This means I won't have to take time off from my blogging through. I was trying to line up a couple people to possibly do some guest posts, mostly reviews of products they've tried recently, but now I won't have to worry about that so much. This also gives me an opportunity to save up some more cash, and if we don't go on our trip I know I'll have plenty of cash for Christmas this year. Things always seem to work themselves out don't they?
