One Day At the Beach


One day at the beach, it wasn't so pretty.  We don't go *all* the time, so when we do, I kind of look forward to pretty sand, a few rocks and lots of shells.


This particular day was not such a great day to go.  We literally could NOT get to the water.  Mounds and mounds of seaweed stood between us and the ocean.  More was floating in.  It was really kind of strange.
The seaweed was stopping the water at a point.  At a point I had never seen before.


We always find ourselves talking about how the people in the mountains would like to live by the ocean, people in Kansas might like to live in a bustling city, people in a bustling city might want to live in a little rural town, people in a little rural town wish they lived in California.
 There is beauty wherever you live.
 Find it. Take pictures of it.  Enjoy it.
 It's O.K. to like mountains if you live on flat prairie land.......but don't let it make you restless and unhappy.  The *ocean*beach*shore* that some people would love to live by, sometimes isn't that great at all.
 Don't ever move to get away from problems.
 You will make new ones where you move, and your old ones will follow you.

I was going to ask the same question as above!

I love your simple and to-the-point advice.

Sorry about the State of the Beach!

Not that I could have done anything about it (the beach, I mean).
I agree with Rebecca - good advice, mo.

I have never seen the beach with that much seaweed before and I lived by the beach most of my growing up years and loved it! Wonder what caused so much? Love your pictures! I am thankful that we are not so far from the beach here that we can drive down there from time to time. The smell of salt water...home!

Looks like the beaches when we lived in Corpus minus the blue jelly fish and the tar balls. As always love your words of wisdom. Miss the salty air and the walks on the bayfront but not enough to want to move back down there. ;)

It is true the grass is not always greener on the other side :) I agree that we can find beauty where ever we are.

Moving to the mountains won't make you happy. *Content* is the place to be. (I'm not always there by the way.)

My Favorite Child

I wish I had all the pictures I wanted, to go with this blog post........because I know a *picture paints a thousand words*, but for a large part of our family's life, old fashion cameras and old fashion pictures were being used.  So, many of the pictures that would help paint this post are somewhere in boxes and books.  It would take a month of Sundays to find them all so  I will just have to count on your imagination and my memory! FAVORITE: most liked, preferred above all others Sara, you were my favorite.  You were our first baby and we were so excited for you.  Your hair was perfect for me to learn how to braid and you always were very still for me.  You were the first little girl I got to dress up and put lacy socks on.  You were such a fun little girl to read to.  You memorized the books we had and it was a big part of our day to read with each other.  *where is the bear when the wind blows cold?*.    You have always been interested in the *family tree*, dates, p
