    Blackbird has spoken, like the first bird.

    Edit to say:  Good morning Beachettes.  Hope it's a Beachy day.

    Morning Beachies...........

    Oh what an awesome night we had.  Our concert....Third Day and Brandon Heath was awesome.  They are Christian Rock musicians and we were "rockin' with Jesus" in a major way...Smile  Seriosly, it was a great time......and we had a great time.  Kind of like being in Heaven-----a packed house all praising the Lord in song!! In my heart, it doesn't get much better than that.  Dinner with our friends at Victoria's was awesome too.  Such yummy food....and boy did we bring the leftovers home.  Guess what we are having today........It was a late one though.  Didn't crawl into bed till 1:15 a.m. (that's after turning the clocks ahead an hour) so didn't roll out till 7:45 this morning.

    I hope all you guys have a wonderful day today.  Sending hugs and love to you all....I'd love to mention you all by name like many of you do so often but could never remember all your names....know I hold you ALL in my heart though..........does that count?Wink

    Hugs,

    Mary Jo

    I just got back from an hour long walk with doggus.  It is so lovely out.  Very little snow left AND I saw a flock of robins!!  They are back.  Spring is here.  Poor things though, they usually come back and then get snowed on. 

    Hugs Coonie, I hope you are getting rested up from your week spent with that slave driving DH of yours Wink.

    The beach is rather quiet lately. 

    Gentle hugs to all and hope your day is going well.  Maybe that's why nobody is here.

    I don't like the heat either Coonie.  But more so the humidity.  Just knocks the stuffing out of me.  Not good for LE either.

    Lets hope for cooling breezes.

    Holy cow Coonie, I think you are right.

    Yep, I'm sure of it now 'cause she mentioned looking for manatees.

    Edit to say.........I'm quite funny and just realized it now when I said holy cow.  Arent' manatees called sea cows?

    Was that your foot, Coonie?

    So far that's the most evidence I have of your actual existence!!

    We had sooooooooooo much fun on our adventure! We stayed INSIDE the kayak, but saw dozens of lounging, lumbering SEA COWS (funny, funny woman, you!) I got one sorta decent picture, as a big one glided right past my camera.

    There were many folks who were snorkeling among them..... they'd rented the full body wet suits for their adventure. I was happy to paddle along.

    MJ. So glad to hear you had a great time with friends & that the concert was so uplifting.

    Everyone must be out appreciating the warmer weather.

    I've gotta go start getting organized for the return to 'real life' tomorrow!!! What a send off.

    (I'm not a happy-packer usually, and you'd think as often as I'm packing & unpacking I could get over that, but just deplore the thought of leaving DH here in paradise..... ah, must get back to work.... the place will be here next winter!)

    Pics over on the blog.... I'll see if I can get a couple thru photobucket.

    I meant to announce to everyone that I see tomorrow is Saint's birthday. (Facebook reminder) I started a thread over in the Mets/Recurrance area. I saw that you've already posted Coonie: thanks. I'm sure she'll be grateful if you can find that thread.

    We can also have a birthday party here in her honor...... maybe that will lure her back beachside.

    Saint:

    Hi Beachie Gals,

    Yesterday I could not get to the beach because I was so depressed and woe is me! Right now I am feeling so much better emotionally that it is hard to even relate to the me of yesterday. Now a friend has just arrived so I will check back in later.
