neesian woman, i could sit and listen to your humorous stories for hours while sifting sand on the beach. You are so wise and funny ("don't come back pregnant" !!!!). Hope your birthday was a good one and i believe that congrats are in order for the dd!!
spar, i am new here on the beach too. come sit with me on my beach blanket and listen to my transister radio...jasmine will come along soon and give us some tunes.
where is everyone today?0 -
laying back with my sunscreen on listening to the golden oldie tunes of yester year. Loved the glass blown flowers. We saw them make that stuff at silver dollar city but the prices were outragious, but oh so beautiful. Hope all had a wonderful weekend. Is all ready for the week ahead?

For all the women going through so much today and everyday
I offer my prayers and positive thoughts for better days.

sahalie, i am sad that this day was bittersweet for you with you missing your dh. Your words here on the beach are always so hopeful and filled with anticipation and calmness. I have saved this present for you. It is the macrocosm-microcosm thought.
We are little complete beings that live inside a bigger space that replicates the same order of everything that is inside us -- on the outside of us. Everything inside is a total and everything outside is a total and both in harmony with the universe. We are the macrocosm inside the microcosm.
Here is a macrocosm-microcosm vase for you to ponder and find your balance.

You find the most beautiful glass works.
Such pure lines of colors and shapes.
They are very comforting to look at and learn about..

Good morning Beach Angels!
I'm sure Faith is currently winging her way to Aruba. Can't wait to see all her fun beach pictures.

Good Morning Beach Babe - elettes Babaloo's!
Dear The One and Only Jaz: Thank you supremo
for that "Blast From the Past."
Foggy here again this morning in the sand dunes and loving it.
I have to get in rapid gear today as a friend takes off for
Europe as is SweetFaith on her way or landing maybe in
Aruuuuuuuuuba.
Farewells and wishes for good trips are in order.
My turn comes the end of October! ! !
Wings, I wonder about European lighthouses and if one could
venture over the pond and visit many.
Foots, I hope this is a uplifting, feeling better week for you as we
each take one day at a time.
Neesie, Celebrations all over the board for the birthday girl.
Was a chocolate fountain in the midst at all? Hope so.
Ames, Where are you? We all miss hearing from you.
Angels and fun beach companions all over the place bring cheer,
joy and words of wisdom to all who read.
Thank you.
I wish you were here with us every day. All the time.
Celia and I met up on the beach last night and found some
starfishies. Beautiful glass works too.
Margaret, What up? Fog in the south Bay too? Aren't you
loving it.
I read a really good quote yesterday or heard it or something.
Anyway it is so true.
It said " We have to have the guts to get up and out and make
things happen."
Author- I have no clue.
Could be any Mom or Dad USA.
It's so true though. Some days I feel like nesting at home
staying warm and cozy in my own humble abode or sandy
warm beach.
I hate shopping of any kind.
It seems to be worse since BC and chemo.
Why is that?
Today though, I have to get it in gear and go send the friend
off to a much wonderful flight and trip.
Loves and a calm comfy day to all.
Waving with the waves.

hi beachies,
another sunshiny day here is the pacific northwest ... i am always grateful for the sun, as it allows the eye to see a full range of values from light to dark.
grey skies

the artist's eyes
jasmine i thought you might be posting from inside faith's luggage which is truly on its way to Aruba. I read that this is what you planned to do, didn't i? ...clever girl!
sahalie already mentioned that we went starfish-seeking yesterday on the beach and we made some amazing finds:
the big red tall guy:
we decided that these two were hugging:
and this one was our very favorite:
So much to see on the beach everyday and so many adventures to have. I must start planning now for sahalie's october trip with my "traveling with art" program. something for cheer, good luck, and spiritual protection.
where are you all? snoozing on the sand, i hope.
I am going for my walk on the beach today and see what i find and find what i see. Maybe there will be more artists today. Back later!
celia
as always, i am sorry for the big pics but my Mac crashes if i try to edit them.

Good afternoon Beach Angels. I hope everyone had a good start to their week.
I suppose by now Faith and DH are in Aruba enjoying a fabulous sunset from the balcony of their room while a gentle island breeze blows.
Celia -- I was caught by the baggage handler going through the screening machine. I was promptly dumped at the curb and had to hitchhike back home. I love those starfish pictures. I never knew they were different colors.
Sahalie -- I love your word paintings. Such vibrant imagery.
Wings -- where the heck are you? I hope you aren't hiding inside your cabana with Mario. That Mario sure gets around. I know I saw him sneaking out of Neesie's cabana last Saturday.
Waving hello to the rest of our beach angels -- spar2, FPAngel, Amy, Susan, Margo, Biker, Neesie.

Correction Jaz..............He was Running out of my Cabana...............seems he got a bit 'scared' when he thought he was rubbing my knee and realized it was a upper body part that had sagged to knee level! Guess he just doesn't see the beauty in Middle aged women!!

OMGolly Neesie!
I just laughed myself right outa my faux cork design open toed
Espadrille's.
Your description reminds me of Maxine and her loose fitting
Kona Island Tee and what hangs beneath it.
Is that Mario I see up on his deck in need of CPR.
Poor guy is still in shock mode.
Hang on Mario.
Poor Mario. Did he need resuscitation?

Today we waved off the friend into the friendly skies then made
a bee line to the movies and saw . . .

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVED IT!
I needed to see a good fun good old comic book movie and
Mr. Robert Downey Jr. is excellent in the part.
*
Home now and windy here but nice and sunny.
This seems a quiet Monday on the beach and that's OK.
Time to savor a Pellegrino while thinking of Mr. Iron Man
and Faith on her veranda with dh savoring the ocean view.
Jaz, did we make it there with her in the metallic beach tote?
I hope so.
Beach babes of the majestic beach I send a hearty Hello
to each one of you.
XOXO

Hi Beach Friends, I have been trying to slow down being so swollen on predisone and lymphedema. Thanks for all the caring notes and hugs, They really helped. I locked myself out and the next day a gang member wrote all over my shed. I am doing better, But sad that my friend are always busy and this happen when I had high chemo. I drove myself. But its going to be better, I only have 2 days on predisone(boobs under my arm) But I am going to make it and life is good. Bring out the sunset and waves with all of us drinking cold lemonade around a small beach fire, Enjoy with love, Debbie

DearestDebbiebeautiful Foots,
We will have a beach get together just for you OK and a very
special beach chair for you to be comfortable in.
I'm sorry to hear of the shed.
Seems like summertime leads to idle hands when school is out.
Anywho, Foots, The lounge chair is ready for you any time you
wish and a pitcher of ice cold lemonade with fresh squeezed lemons
in it just for you.
*
Debbie's "Serenity Lounge chair with arm rests and sun shade"

Lemonade for all compliments of Foots!

I bet Jasmine will find just the perfect music for the occasion.
Celia may find a few exquisite glass shells to pass around.
Wings will park her new mustang up the beach for us to drool
over.
We'll have to keep our eye on Neesie as she tries to make her
way back up to Mario's house on the hill.
Let's tie her to the beach umbrella.
Hopefully Ames will show up and tell us some good happenings.
I can bring party favors.
You say when. We say "Party On"
XOXO to Foots.Sahalie

A sunny good morning to all.
Ever listen to the distinct sounds of the neighborhood when
sitting quietly or just waking up.
I hear a drill. A sad sounding drill at that.
Must need a recharge. My neighbor is having the deck
replaced and began the daily tasks at 7AM.
The landscape gardener is across the street making that
hideous noise with his hideous gas leaf blower.
I love my good old rake.
I have to take my senior fur wonderful baby to the vet today
for boosters and updates on his condition.
He is my pound puppy of 11 years and he melts my heartstrings.
He has taught all the doggies we have here and on the farm.
It is truly amazing to watch a puppy and how much they learn
and imitate from the lead dog.
After the vet appt. we will head on down to the farm for some R&R today.
I normally don't watch the "Bachelorette"
( LOL them using our "ette") but I did last night.
She is down to four and goes to meet the families.
Is this show rigged? I really want to know.
Where is everyone?
I hope people are having grand summer times this fine June.
I think of you all.
Present, past and missing in action.
Angels on distant beaches with wonderful friends and stories to
make your top knot curl with laughter.
Welcome new friends.

hi beachies,
back to grey gloom here in the pacific northwest,
just as i was embracing the two-day long sunshine, it's gone again.
i've come to this lovely beach today and i have just met footprints
who is swollen from treatment and has had an intrusion in her yard from gang members,
yet still drives herself to treatment and brings lemonade here!!
What an amazing woman you are.
I love the chair that sahalie brought for you and
if you need more shade we will pull it under my
ever-present beach umbrella (no suntans for me ever).
footprints, i have brought you some getting-to-know-you presents.
here is a hand blown pitcher andglass set for the lovely lemonade:
and a blown glass plate to put some cookies on to go with our lemonade:
and last but not least, is this lovely glass heart to match your
own big, kind heart. you can put it in your pocket and take it
with you to treatment for good luck.
I hope you feel better and better.
sahalie what a nice chair you have for footprints.
You are always so thoughtful and, as always,
i love to read your words. jasmine said they are
like paintings and i agree. i hope the pound puppy is well
and the vet visit is just routine.
my oldest cat (17.5 yrs) will see a vet cardiologist
this July after his scary ER visit last month.
he was a feral cat born in my backyard in berkeley
and now he has a cardiologist---rags to riches story.
many are missing from this glorious beach.
perhaps i will see them on my walk today to find more treasures.
have a wonderful day beachies, and
faith, hope you are happily immersed in your vacation!

I have wondered if the bacherlette is rigged also.
I stopped and listened to sounds today and I heard my duck quack, the dog bark, the birds singing, and the rain pouring down. My duck would flop down in the puddles and try to swim, he is so cute to watch. Have got a preg. cat and am waiting anxiously for some new babies.
Fixing to walk the beach and hunt for shells or sea glass
Have a wonderful evening ladies

You'll find me in the waves as it is still 91 blistering degrees
here.
I had to get home and within the coolness of the AC.
This is a surprise from left field with the higher temps again
today.
You all know how i love the fog.
Where are you Jaz? Calling Jaz. I sure missed a song
for today this morning.
Spar You lucky with kittens coming your way.
Those babies will be so adorable.
I found your fun story thread this morning early and added a
small and "true" experience which still makes me laugh when
I remember it.
What a fun thread you created.
Check it out beach babes.
There's a bus trip involved and lot's of creative stories.
Celia please rev up that transistor radio you have so we have
some tunes.
Thanks.
I bet Faith is hearing some toe tapping tunes on Aruba.

Dear Friends, Thanks for the party and the wonderful chair. I went to get measured for my lympedema garments. And she told my my cancer dr was wrong to put my on predisone and get me a wheelchair. I dont understand people that dont walk in our shoes and have the pain can say this! Wow that felt good to vent. Now on with the joy of having such wonderful people online. Sending everyone a
and chicken for the party. I love you all!Take care, Debbie0 -
Good morning Beach Angels. How about a beautiful balloon ride today?

Hi All,
Sorry not much time lately to play on the beach.
Sadness at the lighthouse.
My dear father in law passed away Monday evening.
It has been very hard on my DH he has nursed his father through so much in the last 3 yrs I can not begin to tell you what a wonderful son he is. He reminds me so much of Neesie and Iris and all the kind things they do for their mom/dad.
Sahalie - Have the cabana boys get my Mustang polished up, I will be back soon for a drive on the shoreline.
Hugs to all by beach friends.

Wings.
My deepest most heartfelt condolences to you, your dh and
the entire family.
Care giving is a straight from the heart loving testament.
Our parents are our life line to reality and support no matter how
old we get or how far we may live from one another.
Parents and children at all ages. Priceless.
Love. Sahalie
