I so miss our trips to the beach. Normally I would have been at the beach several times already this year with a trip or two coming up before the end of the year. Doggone it. We had to cancel my birthday trip to Bermuda and several other trips to other beaches because of Covid-19. I am trying to not complain about it but it is one of my favorite places to be.

I am trying to enjoy a virtual beach scene instead and thanks to my talented niece, Carla Jo, I am one step closer.

Awhile ago I found this afghan on a blog that I absolutely loved. I asked Carla if she thought she could crochet it and she said it didn’t look too hard so if I got the yarn she would attempt it. Well – I would say she succeeded. I got my beach in a box last week and love it.

Of course I had to promptly put it away because…Maksim. Those turtles are not safe with him around but I had already decided this was my “Take on Beach Vacation Afghan” so it will be safely packed away from sharp claws and teeth. Of course I could not get a picture of it without cats on it.

Isn’t it just adorable? I love it so much.

If you could go anywhere in the world tomorrow where would you go? Beach? Mountains? City? Country? I would love to hear about it in the comments. Remember that each comment this month means a 50 cent donation to our Comments for a Cause – United Way for Iowa Derecho Relief.
