Blogfinger

Idah has a routine.  When she wants to splash  in the ocean she and her daughter drive from Bergen County, leaving at 6 am.  She takes “back roads” to avoid Parkway tolls.  Then when she gets here she jumps into the ocean for a wonderful dunk and then she is ready to drive home.

When she is ready to leave, Idah wraps herself in her large red-white and blue towel to return to her car.  It was then that I spotted her on the boards.

Idah is a social worker.  She is originally from Kenya, but she has been here for 40 years.

We had a lovely  conversation and she readily agreed to a photo.  She said that if she knew about the picture  she would have worn a more appealing bikini.  “But Idah,” I said, “It’s your covering towel that I am most interested in.”

She then wrapped the towel around her, blank side out.

“No Idah…It’s your patriotic side that we prefer.”

We finally got it all squared away.  I gave her a Blogfinger card.  She will send me her email , and I will send her a photo.

Then she and her daughter jumped into their car preparing to drive home—missing the traffic both ways.
