LIFE'S A BEACH!

Joni, low 60's??? No Way! I would be wearing long johns.

Hi gals, I recognize a lot of names on this topic.  I do not live by a beach but we have lakes and pretty sunrise and sunsets in TX.

I love the pic of a city still asleep (Miami Beach)...WAKE UP!!!!!

Lisa, I was wondering if you got down to the pools left behind after the tide. What are they called??? Oh yah, tidal pools!

Hi ladies: I am logging on from Frankfurt.Today was my DH's birthday so we spent the day driving along the Rhine river enjoying the towns and castle scenery.Oh yes and enjoyed the local reisling wines that are made here.Sorry photos have to wait until I get home.So far not much bird action for tiny fishy.Tomorrow we are off to Berlin for 2 nights.Will keep in touch.

Love all the photos ladies and welcome to MJB

Barbe, I did get down to the tidepools, but the tide was coming in so didn't stay

Mum, can't wait to see your pix!. Lisa, I love your tidepool shots.

OOOOHH!!

Welcome mjb!!!! No need to be near an actual beach..... there's usually someone who is close enough to post genuine photos, but beach-appreciators are ALWAYS welcome. It's the appreciation that we all share.

I'm so grateful to our own Roadiefaith for sharing our traditional pair of welcome flip-flops.

Beachies. Some of you may be aware of the awful chapter in my family..... I posted some specifics on the prayer thread. The long story short, is that my older brother Dan was in a fire in his home at the beginning of the week. He's been in ICU the whole week in an induced coma. We found out yesterday, when his cell phone was able to be retrieved from the rubble and they were able to reach out to my parents.

In any case, in the past 24 hours he has made some huge progress, being brought out of the coma, and now all the tubing removed. HE JUST CALLED ME ON THE PHONE!!!!! Hardly 24 hours ago I learned of all this.

Life really can change on a dime -- in so many variations.

Anyhow, tho I could hardly grasp anything he was attempting to say, the one recurring phrase was, "thank you" which he said in every phrase. The only thing I could really catch.

To say things have been upside down is an understatement.

So to come in....... find lovely photos and new friends in amidst the ol time friends is the greatest pick-me-up possible.

I leave tomorrow for Vegas.... so as usual I will be a little less splashing in your midst.

BTW: it was a barking dog that saved his life.

glad to hear that your brother is well and those barking dogs do it alot...

Lisa the pix are awesome as usual!!!

3jays, hope you can get some rest..

amyjo, I am loving big sur too,, thanks for the pix..

faithie, don't you ever stand still for even a couple of weeks?

I need a pep pill just to read your journeys

I am thru airport security and at my gate for my leg to Chicago. Then a couple hours lay-over before the big flight to Vegas.

Lisa. I had an entire 8 days 'off' between my last enormous circuit of concerts and this one. LOL. That's a lovely length to re-coop. When I get home from this one I have another almost-a-week before anything public.

I had a lady say, "When I goes I goes hard and when I sleeps I sleeps deep." Always thought I should have a t-shirt with that sentiment on it.

Roadiegirl. I have taken a couple of canoe trips thru the boundary waters that you've pictured. That is some gorgous scenery for sure!!! The stories I could tell you about those trips. LOL. I was a supervisor for teen agers. Ye gads.

I wanted to let you know that I just spoke with my brother's ICU nurse and he says that Dan continues to head in the right direction. He was allowed some 'solid-ish' food this morning and I know that was a big deal. YEAH!!!!!!

Better go to my gate!

I'll play a couple of slot machines. If I get the big payout I'm renting a beach side villa and bringing ALL of you to some crystal clear ocean, with swaying palms and sugar white sand for miles.

See you on the flip side!!!!

Hope everyone's having a glorious Sunday.

Huh, until Faithroads picture, I never thought of our northern beaches as well, beaches. This one is about 6 miles north of where I live now, when we went to visit my son one Thanksgiving at his university;
