I love the rain ... there is no disputing that.
I EVEN LOVE it when I am sitting on the beach here on Maui!
As the bathers skuttle from the water (?) and begin deserting the sand, I just scoot a little closer to my umbrella, once I judge the angle of the showers. I know that it can last a few seconds, a few minute, a few hours ... IT, just as I, is on Maui time ... so it will get around to stopping when it gets around to stopping.
In this case ... I am happily (and quietly) lounging alone... reading my book, having completed a FACTIME interaction with the grandkids just moments ago. These two little monkeys (as I often call them) are full of energy, full of kisses, and full of things to tell gramma. MOSTLY, I listen and watch...occasionally asking a question or answering one. The Captain left in an ocean kayak well over an hour ago and is due back ... when he gets back, as HE TOO is on Maui time! The smile on his face as he drug the yellow, canoe shaped, floatie out to the water was totally worth however damp I get sitting here, for however long I do so.
The sand showers lasted the full 45 minutes I waited for the Capt to finish "his" 3 hour tour and are still powdering us now. We have traded the sand in for carpet and are lounging on the lanai in the warm, humid air- as dinner warms in the oven. It is lovely to end the day this way... and I am forced to state the obvious ... that it's been another rotten day in paradise!!
