Just a day at the beach


Even when Summer's a memory....... 
............the beach is beautiful.


Lines of brown pelicans fly just above the surf.

 Young girls paddle while listening to music....................sigh!!!!


Dancing in the shallows while we wait and enjoy the late breezy Autumn afternoon.


Shells are scarce as storms have stayed away, thank goodness!


Granddaughter who has shared a beach weekend each year, leaves a message in the sand........see the heart at the end.....


.............and we hope she will always remember the fun times we've had.

  9. Jasmin is so lucky to have such loving, giving grandparents in her life. And best of all it is really apparent that she is thankful and appreciative of all the love you share with her. "Hi" to Bob and Jasmin.

  15. Awww, that is so sweet that last pic adn your sentiment.

    Isn't it funny too how all these years alter you still refer to "home"as being across the pond? I keep thinking, ok, time to call this totally home but a part of me still remains.

  16. Loved my Grandma and still do. There's nothing like a Grandmother to remember the rest of our lives. I love that ocean and have never been across the pond.

  17. Love the photo of Jasmin dancing along while Bob is standing there keeping watch. You know she will always remember these times you spend with her, and she is very fortunate too. A lot of grandchildren do not live as close, or as it was in my case, only saw my German grandparents twice. Of course, travel back then was so much more expensive too. Now I must say that photo of you and Bob is a keeper! Love it!
    Hugs sent to both of you.
    Take Care,
    Ulrike
