LIFE'S A BEACH!

Coonie, so sorry for your neighbors losing everything, I know how they feel, we lost everything including autos in the may 3rd 1999 tornado in Moore and we did have insurance but some things could not be replaced, you are so right on that.  Especially pictures.

Checkum so glad to hear from you, it sure seems like they are doing PT early.  Better take a pain pill to kick in before. LOL.  Many healing prayers coming your way.

Mary-Lou, I am always thankful to see you on the beach and your pictures.  Hope things will look up soon.  I need to get down to some serious job hunting too especially if I want a porch built on my house, right now the only way in or out is the mud room.  We have double french door in the dining area but opens up to a complete 3 1/2 feet drop off.

Am so thankful toyful is dipping her toes in the sea and hope you enjoy yourself here.

Faith, still can't keep up with you after all this time, I just count on you to clue me in.

Mary-Lou, that bird looks like he is just strutting along with such pride.

I too love the song sitting on the dock of the bay. and another favorite is under the boardwalk

Hey Spar, I'm still on my first square..........a lot of trial and error at the beginning.  But you didn't have to rip the whole square...........just down a couple of inches.  Man, isn't that annoying?  I knit and measure a LOT.

LOL thanks Hope.  I think I've got the hang of it now anyway but can only knit 2 or 3 rows at a time.  I will wait till I have maybe 6 then post them.  Can't wait to get some in the mail for your beachagan.

Hope you all have a good night. {{{{{{{{hugs all around}}}}}}}}}}}

Thanks for all the warm welcomes to the beach! Thanks for all of the new equipment. (Back here in Seattle, I bought some actual snorkeling gear for my trip to Kauai, yay)

Coonie--The avatar is my actual dog, Annie. She is 8 years old and takes good cuddle care of me. I will post a new avatar soon with her in her St. Patrick's Day attire, which she will be wearing non-stop til the big day. 

I finished my 1st round of Navelbine yesterday. Now I have a week off and then 3 more weeks on and then off to Kauai! I am saying Kauai so many times because I am trying to convince myself that I am going to be well enough to go there in a month. Actually, I don't care how unwell I am, I am going come volcano blast or hurricane! One beachie (it was on the previous page so now I can't remember who) asked how long I will be on chemo and the answer is "as long as it is works to keep my cancer from growing." I would love to have an actual end date, but the reality is that the longer I am able to stay on it, the happier I will be.

See you beachies manana!

Hi Spar and Friends,  What to eat for a picnic, I need a pickup and some cuties, To make the pain from the shots at the cancer care today go away. Chechum I am praying for you. Coonie you are so good to everyone here. To all the other wonderful people Angel hugs. Take care and know we are a very special family. God loves you and so do I.

Now I know where it is.......Hawaii!!  Toy, no wonder you are going despite EVERYTHING and anything.

Checkum, I hope you day goes easier than you expect.  Maybe this is what they mean by PT?

Hey Spar, thanks for the fun.

That fruit tray look yummy but I'm a salt fiend.

Since we are on the beach.......I'll indulge.

Oh wth.......

And some more entertainment.

Come and join me.......we can stay here.

ooooooooooooomgoooooooooooooooodness, yes Sharon. other than the pink leather inserts -- it was very very much like the scene above. All leather seats to one side, all glassware down the length of the wall......... fun fun fun.

well i had an amamamamamazing day today. the keynote was sumptin' else! big crowd. microphone that decided to quit -- right after the sound check when it was perfect -- me trying to "project" to the back corners...... them hustling in a new cordless mic...... setting it up -- only to have it 'cut in' and out numerous times....... ah, the life of a celebrity.

all smiles. all the time. the show must go on. my CD player worked, my laptop worked and my LCD projector worked -- so there was plenty to make the crowd happy campers. it's just enough to make me tear out my hair a bit. we got it patched together just enough to work.

the rest of the 6 hours of workshops were FANTASTIC and folks so responsive & supportive.

sounds like the beach-a-ghans are coming together. i haven't crocheted in recent light-years, but may need to dig out the necessary parts to get involved (do NOT hold your breath) but it's such a worthy endeavor!

big sloppy, exhausted hugs.

Hope you enjoy the evening Faith.  I live vicariously through you so you'd better have a good time.  Me, I'm going to do the dishes, make a cup of tea and soon go to bed.  

very blessed you are Faith.

Hope footie has had fun at the picnic today.  Lots of hugs footie.  You may take a cabana boy home to fix your ramp.

Assign me a room Sharon, I need some beach time too. I also need some chocolate, but I just had blackberry cobbler with cool whip.  Yummy it was.

Everyone have a good evening.

Wooo hoooo and a big congrats to Gramma and the rest of your family!!!!!!!
