Another windy day in paradise. Our walk started out beautiful. The surf is still up - enough that several surfers were out this morning. Then about 1/2 way back the rain started, thank God it was a light rain. But we got wet enough to have a wet t-shirt contest. The beach was clean and quite pretty today. In several spots I noticed that the Coquinas had returned to the business of scrambling under the sand.
Dick and Mike were in the workshop most of the day. They put my adirondack chair back together, tiled the top of my yardsale table, but they didn't get to the fishing pole storage project that they planned.
Mike and Dick grilled some porterhouse steaks with blue cheese. Ummm!
Everyone is settled in now and hoping for a Bucs win against the Jaguars.

Dodging raindrops on the beach
Just returned from a rather windy walk on the beach. The shoreline is normally littered with a miriad of shells and colorful cocina's digging furiously in the sand to hide from the shore birds looking for a tasty treat. Today the waves are bringing 100's of jellyfish in a wide range of patterns and sizes along with gobs (is that a word?)of seaweed. The wind off the water, the sound of the waves and birds and the light showers made for a very pleasant walk this morning.
As I walk I think of the gulf being cleaned by the storm and in a few days the water will return to that beautiful blue and the shoreline again showing it's treasure trove of shells. And I think of how our lives are touched by God during the storms of life and just when we think the storm will never end He gives us peace and somehow our steps are more lively and the world seems brighter.

I'm can't believe I'm blogging
In the words of one of my favorite tv characters Mr Monk "I'm on the web"!! I've finally given in and joined the blogging world. I'm not so certain that I can keep this up what with kids, grands and great-grands and all the scrapbooking that goes along with it. I'm thinking that this will be a great way to keep in touch with all my family and friends.
Let's just see if I can keep up with it.
