    Aaaah, the well that never runs dry!

    OK beachies, I am off to get a 'formal' dress for the cruise. If I find one, I will show it to you. I love retail therapy.

    oh - I almost forgot - I got an absolutely lovely thank you note from Marisa Weiss for the spa gift certificate.  She was truly touched and asked me to relay her thanks to all, so thank you from Dr. Weiss :)

    Pitchers of drinks at the beach!!

    Dream so glad that you have a new ride for your sand adventures in our midst. It looks like you can take a passenger or two along for your explorations.

    Had a GREAT day here on all levels. My presentation this morning was among friends and was like an ol' home reunion on many levels. They were so happy and proud for me -- over this latest project. Sigh.............................

    Keep all the glorious pictures poppin'

    adding to the beauty ... this is from Cape May Point, NJ, about 20 minutes from where we have our trailer.  they do a ceremony every day from Memorial Day though late October where they honor veterans and raise the flag of a deceased vet every single night as they play taps.  how awesome is that?  here's a link to the full story if you'd like to read more, or you can just bask in these pics :)   http://www.comcast.net/video/honoring-fallen-vets/1536192981/

    Our beach is kind of a flat strip of sand except down at the jetty, but it makes for beautiful sunsets and fantastic storm scapes. And about 3 miles away on the other side of the city is a bay with just as exciting sunrises which usually feature magnificent views of Mt Rainer.

    A few years ago some members of the USAF came to my favorite uncle's funeral.  They stayed way in the back by some trees and at the end we heard taps being played on a bugle.  It still brings tears to my eyes remembering that sound.

    You wonderful beachies have me in tears this morning.

    Mar thanks for sharing the link to the wonderful work that is taking place on the beach with the flag and the honor to our heros. I am so moved.

    Yesterday in church they asked all of the veterans to stand. Then they asked those sitting nearby to 'lay a hand' on anyone within reach and a very special prayer was said for the efforts, sacrifice and devotion to our freedoms. I sat with my hand upon my husband's back while others surrounded him. I cried thru the entire prayer. To see and hear these stories today is so moving.

    Thanks to all for sharing their slice-of-the-beach.

    Chabba that picture is breath-taking. Simply breath-taking.

    Have you figured out how to post your own pictures?? Keep doing whatever you are doing, as it is such a great addition to our little cyber-shared beach.

    xx00xx00xx00xx

    Mum, surely it's time for some more views from your album(s)!!!!!!

    Happy Monday everyone!!

    I was sent this email from a previous co-worker today and thought it very apt for this thread:

    It's called "Walk with me by the water" (at work here the picture doesn't show, I hope it shows for you guys)

    A BEAUTIFUL MESSAGE ABOUT GROWING OLDER

    no picture here Barbe, but I think seen the e-mail before & if I remember correctly-it's fabulous, but then again I might be thinking of something else.

    the building in the background is where the gas explosion took place. Most of the resorts in that area were all built over swampland.Frown
