Favorite things

I have many favorite things. I keep telling myself to make a list so I can break out in song to the tune of "Raindrops on Roses" with a list of the things that make my days great. So thing #1 just so happened to save my life today. Have you heard of the beach caddy? Apparently, almost everyone I have talked to about my "new" discovery has previously heard of this amazing contraption thus lacking the enthusiasm I feel about it. My question to them is....why didn't you tell me?!! This life saving device has not only made it possible for me to brave the beach with my two small children who can't even carry a bag of sand toys because they're "too heavy," but it has made going to the beach a joy and we go with ease. It carries up to 75 pounds of beach paraphernalia and it conveniently has a place to hang your chairs instead of piling them high and losing one every 5 steps as it slides off the clumsily placed beach bucket and sand truck. At any rate, everyone should own this fine contraption even if you don't go to the beach. As we were bidding farewell to the waves today, I loaded up the cart, plopped Amy on top of it all because she was officially "toast" and Jamison claimed he was too tired to walk. So I had him on my back.... this scene caused a truck driving by to pull over at which point the gentleman rolled down his window and said "Ma'am, I think you need a permit for that." Need I say more. I love my beach caddy.
