Good morning beach beauties...I have had an amazing weekend full of friendship and mingling with like-minded individuals...always magickal when a connection is made!
I discovered that if you walk to the end of our beach and turn right, you will discover what I have...an area of contemplation *with a little bit of luxury* thrown in...sometimes I just need to be pampered...
Waking up after a restful sleep near the beach...
Starting with a lovely breakfast...
My morning shower...
Then off to meditate in the wondrous meditation garden (who knew this all existed just off of our beach???)...
And when evening comes, you'll find me contemplating my day...
Take care all and have a magickal day!!
Peggy

So you decided to go ahead and do it, that will be so cool having redwood stepping "stones"
I am leaving in a bit to take my grandson to the dr. which is 3 towns away, the grandkids have been healthy all summer and now that school have started they have both already caught colds and Brocks has turned into something worse. Will be back on later this evening.
Hope all has a good day.
I am worried about Julz though, hope all is ok with her and her DIL.

technology crud has infested my laptop........ we've spent all weekend attempting to clean -- to no avail as of yet.
otherwise all is well..... DD2 is on her way to the airport via DH's pickup truck. too soon.
hugs to SAINT and Julz Sara -- as the day unfolds...... hope that you each are able to check in with an update, just as soon as possible.
thanks to all for those glorious stars, the meditation garden and all of the other beauties...
I'll have to see what I can find, to add some mirth

How's this for a happy, silly, glimpse into my too-serious, younger daughter, letting loose just a little bit earlier in our visit.
We all need to channel our inner-Viking warrior goddess and have a good laugh.
With no explaination what-so-ever, my computer seems to be happier and moving faster than it's previously constipated pace would allow??? Technology, just gotta love it........

Hi all sorry for letting you stew on the beach. Yesterday was really very crazy & scary as far as my DIL Sara goes. We got a call from Sara's mom, who had left that day from being at the hospital all weekend with her & my son. My son was frantic on the phone saying she was staring at the ceiling eyes fixed & not responsive. Then my son hung up & no one could get in contact with him. So my DH did the 4 hour trip & went to see them at the hospital. It's sounds like she might have had a seizure or a reaction to the compazine for the nausea. They were quickly able to reverse her symptoms with another medicine. She has finally stopped praying to neptune (trying to be delicate here) & is getting up and around , also is keeping some food down today! The Dr's say on top of all that is going on she may have post partum depression. I would be way nuts if I had all that going on! On top of all this the baby has to go to the Dr's tomorrow, it sounds like he might have a belly button hernia! Does it never end, boy do they need a break! My DH is still up there & will be also tomorrow. I am having to finagle schedule around for the kids first day of school on top of everything else. I have off tonight, so I don't have things to worry with them about. I can breathe. Ahhh,,,, I have to go to town for a few school things now. But will be back in a few hours, for a longer chat with all my wonderful Beach Friends. Thanks for all your prayers! Love to all the Great beachettes on here! Julee

sending more hugs and prayers from the great north-woods................
Julz, I'm just so sorry that they are going thru so much. I'm sure your son was appreciative to have your DH shore them up, with support. Glad that he was able to get away. Wow. When it rains it pours. Will keep praying for all to get sorted out directly.
Take good care of yourself in the mean time. We'll keep your towel and sunscreen ready, poised on your deck chair. Know that we're in your corner.

beautiful shell art.
my grandson had strep throat and sinus infection to picked up a couple of scripts. We got to the dr. office at 3:15, it was packed didn't get out until 5:45pm, just made it home in time to help pass out the flyers for the free wednesday meals. Then my uncle called me and my aunt is doing better and is coming home Wednesday but he had his liver show hot spots on a test he did today and has to go back wednesday for more test and is scared to have her home by herself and wants me to come stay a few days, they don't have internet service so after Wed. don't know when I will be back.
Julz, still praying for your DIL, glad you are going to get to go and also hold that precious baby in your arms.
Hope all has a good evening. I splurged and had real ice cream, chocolate, coconut, walnut, it was so good , don't happen often so really enjoyed it.
Goodnight Moon

Ahhh Sahalie you sure know the way to a woman's waistline, LOL! I can just smell them now! Yummy, I can't wait to receive them in the mail! Thank you ahead of time, cause my mouth will be too full to say it! LOL! I'm full of myself since worry is easing up! Such Beautiful Sahalie Style Shells! So Delicately full of compassion & Love! Thank you!
My Sweet Spar ~ It amazes me how quickly that darn strep appears. I pray for pain relief & healing quickly to appear. Healing hearts are sent your way for your Uncle & continued healing for your Aunt. I'm glad you will be able to help them out. We seem to have so much on our plates these days, without getting the nourishment that is needed. I guess you could say the beach is our nourishment. Many are always here to give of themselves so unselfishly! If you want me to keep you posted on things via the Tele, just give me a ring. I will be working tues., wed. & thurs. nights. Such beautiful beach fair pic of shells, starlit nights, & stunning sunrises! Peace & Beauty rolled into one!
Fabulous Faith ~ Feeling the North winds blow my way, as they are getting rid of some rain over my head & Families too. My DH is not leaving until he knows for sure what is going on with our grandson! Sara is doing better, she can't sleep & settle herself because of the big doses of steroids she is on. Tomorrow we should know biopsy results. If it is Bacterial Colitis she can come off the steroids soon. If it's Ulcerative Colitis she will be on the steroids for a while because that is a chronic condition she will have for the rest of her life......Your time with your daughter did go bye so quickly. So glad you got to have such fun & show her your summer playground. And to share that grin splitting smile with us. Tell her it lifted my spirits to see such happiness, also knowing you were the recipient of that mega watt smile brings joy to our hearts for you & DH. I am so glad your puter gave up the sludge to give us that one!
Jazzzzz ~ As I sit here posting to you, I listen to my always Hopeful girl & her STARRY STARRY NIGHT! Boy that brought back such memories from so long ago! I'm glad you could stop in & take time from works demands to bring those forgotten memories back to life! You know it's funny how you just seem to know what we need here for this peaceful Beach place! ((((HUGS))))
Sige ~ Always here with your bright cheery smile. Helping to beautify our Beach with such beautiful pictures. You so created the place I needed to escape to today. Thanks you for taking my mind there! ((((SIGE)))) Back at you!
SoCal ~ I'm glad your fun time is going on longer! Will miss your Beach excursion finds. Isn't it funny how we seem to find them when we least expect it. This is something similar I found when my 9 yr old son brought his new agenda book home from the first day of school today & also to find out that my 11 yr old had a hand in picking out the photo for the cover ! Makes you wonder sometimes?......
It looks something like this....
Celia ~ It is amazing how we do seem to find the beach everywhere! I wonder that the Whole Beach Vibe is so Sarene, laid back, & a much slower pace than what most of us are so used to that draws people like magnets to it. As to your observation of a starry starry night, BRAVO!
Saint ~ It's good to here from you! Thanks for the candle! My MIL used to Light one for every Grand child that was to be born into her family, until the baby was born. My DH & I continued that tradition with my DIL. Your"Father is insightful, It is a true gift if one can accomplish all that, but with Grace & Dignity"! The waiting never ends. It seems when one wait is over, a new one is always there to take it's place! I'm so praying for Sca-O-licious results to come your way!
Margo ~ Thanks for popping in to say Hi! It's just good to know that your O.K.!
Foots ~ Anytime you hear steps in the hospital. Just think of them as reminders that we are thinking of you!
To All the rest of the beachettes, A shout out to you! Hi Wings, Shrink, Special Angels, Biker Jan, Heymoose, & anyone I missed! With sun swept Dreams of a better tomorrow......

Julz.... what a great post from you, even in the midst of your concerns for Sara. Thank you for the images above. The one that really spoke to me was the stained glass one. Gorgous colors.
While everyone is in the praying for Sara/new mommy mode -- I need you all to add my Sarah/new mommy with an 'h' to our other beach Sara. My Sarah just called moments ago from the doctor's office and is headed to the hospital for tests later today. It seems she has some sort of a growth.... maybe a cyst?? She's to report to hospital late this afternoon for ultrasound and other work-up.
She is working on four months of no 'real' sleep currently and is attempting to be brave in the face of the unknown. Whatever this thingy is can now be felt and is causing pain. They don't think that it's on her ovary, as the position seems to high for that. I wonder if it's something run amok with the c-section healing/scar tissue?
I am so FRUSTRATED being so far away and not being able to be there for her today. The price of a playground, when you're kiddos are hurting.
It's so good to hear that Sara is being responsive to her treatment plan. Will be praying for all as you await the test results.
Saint. Thinking of you today as you are learning of the next step in your journey.
Footie. Sounds like you've got a lot coming up too. I feel like I missed something in your story, as I'm not quite certain what's up for you. Know that I'm sending prayers all the time.
We need lots of beach angels to watch over all of our family members..... Spar your grandson and aunt and uncle......
Keeping our whole beach close to my heart this morning.
Everyone else..... know that I'm grateful for your care and concern.

Faith ~ Bless your Dear Sarah, I know your angst in wanting to be there so much. My Heart reaches out to you & your family! Knowing Prayers do work. My Sara is going HOME TODAY, they have been answered. She was DX with Ulcerated Colitis, but the Dr's seem optimistic in being able to treat it. Although this does now become a Life Long issue for her like my son's Chrones. She is keeping fluids & food down. But is still nauseated. All blood test have come back normal! Major ((((((HUGGGS))))))) going out to you from your south!

Good morning Beach Angels. Just a short pop in to send hugs and prayers to all who need them. I'm keeping Sara and Sarah in my prayers and Spar's grandson. I haven't read back so please forgive me if I missed anyone.
Just know that God is in control and watches over us all and nothing will happen without His say so. Sometimes we can't understand or make sense of it all but that is where faith comes in.
"Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen." Hebrews 11:1
Keep hope, faith and joy in your heart.

Jaz, perfect song
Julz, so thankful Sara is getting to home and will get stronger everyday
Sahalie, now I want a chocolate chip cookie (homemade) so bad! They live in Moore which is about an hour from me.
Faith, the picture of your youngest as a viking brought a big smile to my face and sending prayers for your sarah also.
Life goes too smoothly for too long, something has to happen to shake us up I guess. We get too happy, too placid and almost lazy and when something happens we are up on our toes and fighting again. Then when its over we take a big breath and really realize what is important and that God is able.
Julz, you posted some amazing pictures! and Jaz I do agree Faith, Hope, and Love and the greatest is love!

I have to get some sleep as it is another Crazy Day of trying to do all that needs straightened out on my home beach. Big Gracous Hugs to ALL!
As the rest of you all rise. I go to sleep with prayers on my lips for all the ones who have troubled times, Family & Friends. May the calm restful Beach waters surround you with peace as the day goes by

Thank you, thank you, thank YOU!!
I've gone out for my morning walk and was able to concentrate on the cloud study at hand.... seeing cartoon images of Snoopy on his doghouse, Rosie the Riveter's flexed muscle and Rodin's Kiss. (A psychiatrist would have a field day with that list, I'm sure.)
Back here to playground central and reading your messages above, listening to the song of hope and viewing the pictures of tranquility -- as I knew would await me, I am confident that all will indeed work together for good.
This beach is such a significant part of my world.
Thanks again. Pray on dear friends, pray on.
**Scott is able to go with her to the hospital, and his mom is gonna stay with the 3 loves..... not a bit of stress in that scenerio. (Her first contribution of support for Sarah -- better late than never?)
I'm still hoping that it's something to do with the healing of her scar tissue. We shall see.

Have they ruled out a hernia?? That is something that is easily fixed.

Foots, have you got the results of all your test yet? Will you share them with us. Hope and pray all is well.
Good afternoon all, Is everyone having a sunshiny beachy day? If not just come here we are.
wonderful sound of the waves, the cool breezes in our uplifted faces
This is so soothing to me, the beauty of one leaf

Beachie Bunnies...... I've just gotten off the phone with my Sarah. She's made it thru the variety of tests and now is in the waiting for someone to interpret things. They hope to have some news tomorrow -- that would be the earliest.
We'll all continue thinking good thoughts for our entire sisterhood.
Saint I'm thinking of you and Footie -- both in the midst of tests and waiting to hear news.
Going to go attempt some productive work. The men are out on their salmon charter this evening, so the place is quiet.... and I love that.
My goofed up computer won't even recognize the web right now????? Back to DH's laptop. I've got some really bright pics that I've put up on my blog -- that I was gonna share here, too.
If you're in the mood for color go see: www.rainbowswithinreach.blogspot.com
It's the craftiest of projects. Tres chic.
More later, if I make some progress.

Hi Beachie kids!
I have taken a few minutes to quickly scan what has been posted since my last visit. Celia----I especially loved the pic of the stars on the time lapse. You always post jaw dropping pix that make me stop & just stare.... Siege-What a GREAT get-away!! How did you get into my head?? LOL....Spar--I like to show off my feeble attempts at things I make! Tho they may be less than great, IF I like them I am proud of what I accomplish---it is what it is & that's ok with me. I also tell my age! Hey, I HAVE lived this long. How can I be embarrassed by that fact?? LOL I DO understand those who do NOT feel as I do...I USED to feel that way...I have taken a different side trip with my bc journey tho & have become pragmatic in the extreme! LOL
Julz-what beauty in your words. Even in worry you lighten & lift! Glad your Sara is on her way back to her family & life. ahhh Faith-your Sarah has sure been tested in the last year. Prayers are sent up for her as I type---Hugs-I will call you soon.
My news:In short--the reports were somewhat incomplete (since I changed scans to Fri they didn't have time to write the reports) so we have sent them back for a proper comparison to the June scans-----BUT preliminary looks show a new 6mm node in my lung----NOT unexpected, but not welcome news, in spite of the fact that I KNOW it is going to grow. So I go back in 2 weeks to see the Official results & start a new tx---likely xeloda----silly reason for the choice, but I would like hair for a while longer...
I spent my "usual" Tues at the humane society. When a cat confined to a small cage for weeks can still purr as soon as you touch them it restores my faith in life! Hugs to all who seem to be direct descendants of Job!!!---as I always say: there seems to be no quota for the stinky poo that is visited on some families. I try to remember- no matter how bad it seems, there are always ppl who have it far worse! We are blessed!
Be well & stay strong. Hugs to A-Z (I will eventually learn all names & such-be patient! LOL)

...as an after-thought--- I DO NOT TELL MY WEIGHT!!! So even tho I say-it is what it is-not eveything is for public consumption! LOL we each have our own lines drawn in the sand....hahaha
