Man's New Best Friend

James crawled into bed with Shawn tonight and made himself comfortable.

Delaware Light Houses


Cape Henlopen State Park

Even with the boat in the shop and the chance to watch Peyton Manning & the Colts take on the Ravens, it still wasn't enough to keep Shawn indoors on a sunny Sunday afternoon.
We packed up Crockett and headed east, thinking that we'd go to see the wild horses at Chincoteague or maybe romp on the beach at the Delaware State Seashore Park between Dewey and Bethany Beaches. In the end, we chose Cape Henlopen State Park in Lewes, DE.
Shawn remembered seeing the park from the Cape May ferry, the couple times we've taken the water route to South Jersey. As you can see from the pictures, Crockett approved of our choice!

There weren't too many people out - a couple surfcasters looking for migrating stripers, a couple beachcombers looking for treasure - so we were able to ignore the "keep your dog on the leash at all times" signs and let him frolic in the surf.
Speaking of treasure - Shawn found a big topwater plug tangled in some debris. As he untangled the mess, he told me that the lure cost at least as much as the price of admission ($8 for out-of-state). At that rate, he needed to find a bushel basket of lures to make up for all the ones he's left at the bottom of the Bay this year!

Help!

Shawn called me at least 20 times this afternoon to tell me that the boat had broken down, and to move the truck to a closer dock. I was out for a long walk/run with Crockett and missed him. Good thing we have towing insurance!

Leah's Dental Adventures

One day after my niece Leah visited the dentist, she lost her first tooth!



Hope the Tooth Fairy was good to her!

Can You Believe...

... there are Vol fans in New England! We spotted these flags in a brownstone window in the Back Bay.

Shawn felt right at home.

Wandering Around Boston



... killing time before my conference begins later this afternoon. Fenway Park was a post-season ghost town, but the Charles River was full of collegiate sailors.

What a glorious Indian Summer day!

Fishing Dog

Shawn took Crockett fishing the other night. At least one of them had a good time!

You can read all about it here.

Me and My Dog

Not the best picture of me, but a good shot of my very needy, very neglected dog. Ha ha!

From the Shawn Kimbro Archives

I found this photo tucked away on our bookshelves between some yearbooks. That's Shawn in the middle, with his high school buddies Randy (on the left) and Curt (on the right).

I love it!
