    Wow, Sahalie, I would love to really do that.  What freedom to surf.  I had a lot more than my grands today, went to childrens museum in seminole with 2 bus loads of 6 & 7 year olds.  There were other schools there also so it was crowded but fun and I am very tired. The girls all fingerpainted their faces and all looked like vampires.  They did art work. dug for dinasaur bones, went through mazes, all kinds of stuff.  If my pictures turn out, I will post a couple.

    Jazzy girl, I love all the beautiful pictures posted today.  They are so pretty I feel like I could smell them.

    Anna, I love those rocks and if that is your grandbaby, what a cutie.  So glad you found us on the beach.

    Julz of the beach, we are missing you and your sweet words and delicious pictures.

    Hello Sharon.  Lisa your patio looks very comfortable.  We are suppose to get from 3 to 12 inches of snow tomorrow and what a disappointment we just got our vege garden all planted.  My DH has built boxes and placed extra dirt and plastic tops trying to save everything.

    I wonder if this is Toyful and her SO taking a walk on the white beaches.

    What a wonderful welcome. Some of your words are pure poetry. I will get someone to read them aloud to me; surely that will help put me into a meditative state!

    Yes, that's my little grandson, nine months old. Far far away, though. I get to fly to him in early April and am excited to hold that warm squirmy little person in my arms. This summer, in July, he will join me at our beach, and I close my eyes and hold on to that thought every time I want to feel extra happy.

    Anna, he's adorable.  I'm sorry he's so far away.  What a special treat awaits you in just a few weeks.  Children are such blessings.

    Have safely arrived at the historic Amway Hotel in downtown Grand Rapids. It poured the first half and the sun was lovely for the second half!! It was as close to 6 hours as possible -- almost to the minute.

    I'm listening to a FANTASTIC CD series/books on CD....... "Heaven is Real" now I've forgotten the author's name. He's the pastor who was pronounced dead for 90 minutes and wrote "90 Minutes in Heaven." Made the hours fly by. What an amazing story.... hearing his voice as he relates the responses since he wrote the inital book is so inspirational.

    Feel free to remind me how much I love the library.

    Julz so glad to see your uplifting post. Big hugs on the loss of your uncle. You've really had more than your share of loss of late. Know that I always have you in my prayers -- along with all of our beachie friends.

    Still must put together tomorrow's power point, but wanted you to know that I've landed safe n' sound. Thanks again for thinking me safely here.

    Anna. Your little Frenchman is just adorable. He's in good company, cuz there are some seriously adorable grands on this beach -- wait till you meet the rest of the pack.

    ((((((((((((((Toy))))))))))

    Dream & Footie I'm always sending up prayers for you two.

    A to Z and Z to A.

    Gentle hugs, Mary Lou.  I'm so glad you found a moment to stop by the beach.  I hope DH is continuing to recover and will be home soon.  Are you taking care of yourself as well?

    Hi jazzy girl, I am rested from yesterday but just got through doing our taxes so I am a little stressed.  Have to drive to Davis to pick up grands at school and we are in the middle of a storm, pouring right now but turning to snow this afternoon.  DH has got a fire going in the fireplace to now that I am through with taxes I am going to go get cozy and knit.

    Mary-Lou, so thankful for any update from you.

    Jaz, you knew just what I needed, sea shells and sea glass, they will be perfect for my grapevine wreath.  It is a blank now with nothing on it.

    Toyful, you looked very relaxed laying in that hammack.  Sure hope you are enjoying every single second.

    Sharon, a happy peaceful day to you too.

    Anna you are so right, Sahalie's words and Julz's word are a magic poetry to the senses.  I love their post.
