Just a Day at the Beach!

Leave a Comment/ 707/ 0
Soft shell crab digging in!
Some kind of anemone I believe—you biologists out there can confirm or dispute!

The first time I have seen a living sand dollar I think!

A pretty cool dude on the beach—we put him back in the water when we were done!

This little buddy needed a new home–his shell was all cracked !!

A teeeeeeny tiny little guy!
This one is for Meredith who loved to see the designs that the crabs make on the beach. It was filled today with tons of baby crab balls! Pretty spectacular sight.

We have had such a great day today! We slept in a bit and got up and made a few calls to the States to Colleen and Bryan and Meredith, my mom and then we talked to Micah who took time away from the football game to call us at halftime!!! It was great to catch up with everyone and know that all is well in the US of A!!! Then we headed to the beach for the best walk ever! Chris printed out a chart for me of the tide times and we went out at low tide and were able to walk out really far and see a lot of neat things that we had not seen before!!! It really was neat to see some of the creatures and we had such a nice long walk and we realized that this was the first day since we have been here that we have had a day totally free to stay at home and do nothing but what we want to do!! So even though we didn’t go to church we had a very spiritual day I think! We’ll get there—it is just taking us some time to figure that part out! We are just so blessed to be able to be living here and seeing all the neat things that we are seeing just in our own back yard.

Chris even made breakfast/lunch/brunch whatever for me on the grill! Bacon and eggs and we found some bagels in the grocery store yesterday and bought those and even though they aren’t Panera they will tide me over till December when I can get Panera!!

Chris is off to nap before he does his mill report—I guess he doesn’t really get the whole day off then, does he??? And I may soon follow if my book does not hold my interest. And tonight….Australian Idol…..this is how lame our life has become! We get about 5 channels and this was one thing that we started watching and now feel that we have to follow through. Never watched American Idol but now I am hooked on Australian Idol for some reason. Can’t wait to get the satellite hooked up but I think it is still going to be a couple of weeks. i think it was going to take something crazy like 7 weeks to get it done……not quite sure why……hopefully it will eventually get done or else I will be finding something else to do other than watch tv!!!

Let me know which of the pictures you like!!! And I left one off—we also saw a beautiful golf ball in the low tide waters……go figure!

Another great book by John Green. I have become a huge fan of John Green since my reading of A Fault in our Stars and this book was another that did not disappoint me at all. It was a story of a child prodigy, a lot of anagrams, and a b...
