Little darling, the smile’s returning to their faces
Little darling, it seems like years since it’s been here
Here comes the sun, do, dun, do, do
Here comes the sun, and I say
It’s all right
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes
My thanks to the Beatles.
Smiles are hard to come by this year, but when they arrive, it’s an event. Events at Edisto Beach are hard to come by also. Helen and I have enjoyed thoroughly our leisurely vacation these two weeks. We’ve read books, ridden our bikes, walked in the surf, and Helen finished one jigsaw puzzle, and started another.
I don’t have the patience to sit and work a jigsaw puzzle, and I had biked to the end of the island and back several times. I did not find any shark’s teeth this trip, and the fish were not biting. Therefore, I decided that the time had come to create a little excitement. We needed an event to stir the air. I decided that I would organize a real crowd pleaser…read on.
Upon checking the weather charts and the tide tables, I learned that the sun would rise the next morning at 6:55 am during the outgoing tide. The sky would have only a few clouds; the winds should average less than five mph. With near-perfect conditions in the offing, I created and organized an event called “Sunrise!” Now, with all of the elements in place, I’ll take you through the event as it happened.
A lonely loon was the first to arrive and began collecting tickets for the event.
Drone surveillance commenced above the stadium.
The crowd entered and began finding their seats in the stands.
The media assembled along press row.
A sentry stood at rigid attention as the flotilla arrived.
A flyover by Air Force jets signaled that the event was about to begin.
The curtain parts slowly. A guitar lightly strums “Here Comes the Sun”
The orchestra joins in – the crowd sings along…”Sun, Sun, Sun, Here it comes“
Let the Show Begin!
“Wow! Get the Coppertone–It’s gonna be big!”
Show over–Here comes the Parade.
Thanks to all who participated and to all who attended. The media reports that the masses are calling for this to become a tradition.
I’m Easin’ Along now, trying to catch the tail of the Parade. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend!
