Looks great Mum!!! I cannot believe how long your hair is getting!! ! Holy crap, first time we met you were close-shaven almost....I guess with the curls as it gets longer it pulls the curls down. You look wonderful, and yes, I noticed the book!

sheila888

Mum....Your hair is long. What a beautiful picture.

samsue...Are you still holding the chairs/ I will be there shortly.

OOH take me away from this cold temperatures.

samsue

Sheila, yes, I'm still holding the chairs.... really cute guy came buy and wanted to stay, but chased him away knowing you'all be here soon!

Lisa, in my humble opinion, wet suits are needed ANY time of year!!

Mum, I looooove that picture!!!  Keep that bottle of white chilling - I'll be there as soon as I can.  I need to get a vacation plan going - we have the trailer down the shore, but I want to have an away vacation, ya know? Hub isn't quite as fond of travelling as I am, so quite likely I'll be doing something with friends and not him. My spirit needs to know when though!!!!  I'm thinking cruise to one of the Caribbean isles or Bermuda ... in the meantime, I'll live vicariously through those of you going away - share your stories and your pics, I love it.  Here's a shot of "our" bay (the campground has land that goes down to the Delaware Bay).  That's hub in the chair.

BEACHIE KIDS BEACHIE KIDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Today's PARTY day for real!!!!

Our IrisBear returning to the sands and back at the beach is reason for celebration on all decks!!!!!! Party. Party. Party!!!!

Most of you are too new to remember our IrisBear. At one point here she was our den-mother and scribe extra-ordinaire. She tells the most amazing stories and remembers everyone's boo-boos. She sprinkles love where ever she goes.

I know that SoCal-Lisa and I think probably Sharon are ol' timers back far enough to remember our IrisBear!!!!!!

It's TERRRRRRRRRRRIFICAL TUESDAY!!!!!!!!

Iris has the heart-of-gold beyond all gold standards. We recently "re-connected" over in FB world over one of SoCal Lisa's brilliant photograhs...... since then it's been a gigantic reunion!!!!!

Flip-flops are not nearly sufficient for a welcome-home gift.

The coconut cake is a start.

What this calls for is.........................

Whoooohooooooo.

BEACH PARTY ON A TUESDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

P.S. I lured her back with promises of great vistas, photography and the like, so pile it on.

Meece

Cake, cake and more cake!

Cake and flip flops, cool!!!!!!
