    I'm glad I could help. You did Great!

    Click on the word edit at the bottom of that post you posted. Your post will come back up in an edit box. Go to the Box within that box click on the pic until you see the pic with little white boxes on the corners of the pic. The easy way to enlarge is go to the corner of the pic where the little white box is. Move the curser over the little white box till you see a little arrow going at a diagonal. When you see it STOP & RIGHT CLICK & HOLD. Now while holding your click move the mouse without letting go. Get it Larger or Smaller the way you want it. Then let go of the mouse. Then come away from the pic a little with your curser. Right Click again to get rid of the little white boxes around your pic.! Then click on the SAVE BOX under that edit box lower left corner.  Just a note sometimes when you make a pic bigger the picture gets fuzzy. Just play around & see what you can do. Good Luck!

    Here is a pic I found for you! Beautiful, Simply Beautiful!

    Time to get the sand out from between my toes and make supper.   Such fun on the beach.  I absolutely lost myself here today.  Amazing.

    It is addicting very much so. But thats the Beauty when waiting out tests, treatments, & just needing to escape thinking of all the stuff you just don't want to think of! ESCAPING!

    thanks for the sea glass, you know how I feel about that, my sweet friend Julz of the beach.

    Sharon you did good today, beautiful pictures.

    Actually, I didn't stay at work today, they had over staffed so I did the bell ringer on the salvation army, I posted about what all happened on the other side.  I found a necklace I am going to buy (i am not into jewelry, don't wear anything but my wedding band) but it has a heart shaped locket that is glass, you open it up and can put your treasures in it and wear it around your nect.  I am going to put my 25 year state pin, a piece of sea glass, my pink ribbon pin, just odds and ends that I love.

    Hope everyone has a great night.

    Sharon, can you tell us a little bit about yourself, like what you do for a living, if you have kids or animals, what kind of things you like to do.  Are you interested in crafts or different kinds of music?  We would just like to get to know you better.

    I am retired from the state, have 2 grown kids, 3 grandkids, am working in a nursing home as a nurse part time right now. Have a wonderful church and church family.  Have made some wonderful friends on bc.org.  Love crafts and reading.  Have a weinerdog and 5 cats.  My name is Sherry, I live in Oklahoma.  It is nice to meet you and hope you keep enjoying the beach.

    Beachies!! I'm home thru the CRAZY bad snow!!! Safe and sound. Took f-o-r-e-v-e-r!!!

    I was 100 yards from our street and a car was in the ditch and the sherriff in the thru lane, so after a million hours in the slop it took another 20 minutes to turn onto our cul-de-sac.

    Cars off the road everywhere. Inter-state at a total stop -- so I went cross country!!

    SHARON........ you're getting the hang of it!!!! Congrats. We'll help ya figure it out.

    DH is ready to leave for the party across the street................ all we have to do is cross to our neighbors.

    have fun tonight..........

    Good morning all.  My success posting pics seems to be short lived.  Can't for the life of me figure it out this morning.

    Faith, thx for the hugs.  Were they ever needed.

    Spar, married, no children, retired, have a dog and some birds, spend way too much time on the computer but am still very computer challanged.  Spend a lot of time with the dogs as we often have dog company.  Enjoy reading fiction.  Heaven forbid I might actually read to learn anything, like improving my computer skillsWink  And I ADORE the ocean.

    Looking forward to the parade of pictures today.  I'll give it another go.  Julz, you may have to step up to the plate again.  All I seemed to be able to paste is the link to the pic not the actual pic.

    By cracky........I did it again.  Anyone care to sit and relax with me?  I can find more chairs somewhere I'm sure.  But it may take a while.

    Does everyone here use photobucket?  Is it free and safe to use?  I've been using Google and and wondering how safe (virus free) it is.  How would one know? 

    Still looking for some chairs.Wink

    I use photobucket, a lot of people here do.  It is safe.  I would love to take one of those chairs and just relax today.  gotta have some snacks and drinks though.

    Lisa, I have never seen one of those birds but I promise the kitties won't eat them, only my dog eats birds and only when I am not home.

    Julz, good job helping Sharon.  You deserve a night to fall asleep on the couch, I did that too yesterday for a while.  My DH said I must have been twisted just right cause I didn't snore on the couch.

    Getting ready for church so more later,  Hugs and Love to all.

    Still in my bathrobe here. I decided the snow-storm was the heavens way of saying: "don't go out!"

    I may still be in my bathrobe @ 3:00 this afternoon and I'm not gonna feel guilty.

    Sharon, I've used photobucket for every pic I've posted...... I don't know any other way: LOL.

    Anyhow, it is definitely free, easy enough to figure out how to use and I haven't had any new issues with viruses since using it.

    I'm gonna go play with my camera & see if I can figure anything out.

    I wonder if those are terns? I don't know birds, but that popped into my brain.

    enjoy your day, all: A to Z!!

    Good Sunday Beachy's......It snowed very lightly yesterday during the day then stopped. Then I woke to a little more snow this morn. But it wasn't enough to keep me home from Church this Morn! LOL! It would have been nice to stay in & snuggle! It's just so cold. I know not as cold as some other places. But I think last year it was around 50 at this time of year! Now we are in the low 20's with wind! BRRRRRR! That's really cold for my end of the BEACH!

    Spar ~ I wanted to spell it out step by step....Cuz you know that's how I had to learn. LOL! Once I did there was no going back!!!! So OK didn't have any Audible vibrations yesterday from your couch! LOL! And your DH was able to get a few winks in too! Wink Without the Vibrations! LOL!

    Faith ~ You know me I love to help where I can. As for staying home from church.....Better to ere on the side of Caution....GOD understands....that's why he sent you that message!!! SNOW! Smile

    Sharon ~ Before you know it.....you'll be doing it like riding a Bicycle. Once you learn it you will never forget. Time it will just take some time.

    Lisa ~ I was looking around & I wonder if that last bird is a Long-Billed Curlew...Kinda looks like one.  Where did you take that pic?

    Wishing everyone a wonderful Sunday. Filled with Warmth.....MMMMMM......How many more months till Spring!!!! 

    Waving Hi with the Waves to everyone from A to Z & everyone in between!!!

    18 Days till Christmas.....YIKES much to do.....Till the Jolly ole Elf himself comes....Riding in on a ......

    Happy Sunday to all my beach friends.  Church was awesome, ate at braums after, that was good.  Just burger and fries but not something we do often.  Came home and put my pj's on and took a nap on the couch.  Very pleasant relaxing day.  Nice Santa surfer Julz, you always find the good pictures.

    Faith, glad you got a day to just rest and let yourself catch up with life.  You stay so busy you need a day like that.
