I hope that you all have enjoyed this beautiful Easter Sunday. He is risen! I wanted to end the month of March in sharing a few of my favorite photos from the month. Celebrated my favorite grandsons birthday. Conner is 18 now! Our beautiful Mallory Grace all decked out for the prom. The youngest grands (sisters) were flower girls in their uncle's wedding. The oldest one was in her element of dress up. The younger one, not so much. THAT HAIR BAND ITCHED HER HEAD she said! I purchased a new pair of wedges that I love. I am always skeptical about ordering shoes or clothing but read the reviews on Amazon and went for it. Love the color and the style. The youngest grand loves to take selfies and play with the filters. Marty colored Easter eggs. He always colors at least a dozen every year. He always says he's doing it for the grands but I know he does it because of the inner child in him! LOL! I went with the little ones to Disney on Ice and we had the best time. I think I enjo
Nothing like being "OFF DUTY" for three nights and two days at your Happy Place!
The weather was beautiful and the beach wasn't crowded to my shock! I figured with school being out it would be packed.
I went to the beach with intention of listening to the waves, feeling that cool beach breeze and reading a good book and that I did.
Of course you can't go to the beach without a kite! My husband bought this kite last year before our family beach vacation and he has enjoyed it so much. I remember when he went on a search for the exact kind of kite that he wanted. Me, I would have bought a cheap $5 kite. NOPE....we had to have a kite that would fly to the moon! LOL! He washes that thing down after each use and stores it nice and neat in a cool spot until the next use. Just to tell you how serious the man is about his kite, I made a suggestion about letting one of the grands using it for kite day at school. Well, that was a big fat NO! Not his AMERICAN EAGLE FLAG! LOL! And it wasn't a $5 flag either.
The water was warm and that was good because I do not like cold water! Now I only get wet enough to cool off so I don't venture too far out. Not going up into the SHARKS HOUSE I can assure you!
I love seeing all the boats venture along the harbor. I saw several that I could not get a picture of that had American Flags flying high.
We ate at several different places over the three day weekend but at least once a year we like to have a Sunday brunch at the Reef. I honestly don't eat our monies worth as I am not into the "all you can eat buffet's" but I will tell you that I can eat my weight and your weight in Crab meat! LOL! But...it takes FOREVER to eat crab legs!
And, I sure do enjoy a good salad with some shrimp on the side!
At times we just simply need a change of scenery and we enjoyed it every minute of it too.
And, if you like to read then I strongly suggest anything written by Terri Blackstock. Awesome writer. I have yet to read a book that she wrote that I MUST make myself put it down so I can do other things!
Back to reality y'all.....
I hope that you all have a wonderful week and remember....enjoy life...each given moment of it.
Hugs and blessings, Cindy
So happy that you and your man were able to have this little get away. Like you said, sometimes we need a change of scenery. It is so refreshing and gives a new outlook when we return home. The food looked and sounded delicious...I love shrimp! Hugs to you, Sweet Lady.
ReplyDeleteChange of scenery is always good. And the beach always makes me smile big!

And I'm dying for some great seafood! Yours looks delicious! I've never ready anything by her, will check out the books!! Love and hugs sweet friend!
ReplyDeleteThanks Benita. Try one of her books. You will love her books.
DeleteYour getaway with your honey looks perfect! A sunny uncrowded beach with a breeze blowing and a good book to read is ideal! I am so glad you had a respite. Have a blessed week!
ReplyDeleteIt was nice Pam. Can't wait to go back.
DeleteGreat pictures Cindy. So glad y'all had a nice time. I love Terri Blackstock books. Yum on the seafood but you are so right. They take so much time to eat. I want to see a picture of you with the hat. So, so cute.

DeleteI’m so sorry that it’s back to reality for you, sweet friend! I know how much you enjoy the beach, and what a perfect little getaway it was. I can eat my weight in shrimp, like you can with your crab legs. You and your hubby look so cute together, and you always look so fashionable. I’ll have to look into that book! Hugs to you, Cindy!
ReplyDeleteAwe Kitty ! You are so dang sweet ! Girl i like shrimp too and my favorite is boiled . Check out her books . So good .
DeleteWhat a fun beach outing.
ReplyDeleteYour comment about the Sharks House cracked me up! I'm not a strong swimmer so I don't venture out too far in open water. I also love seafood, but I gotta admit that crab legs are too much work for me.
😂 girl I’m not a strong swimmer either and i choose to stay on the hill as my granny would have said ! Crab legs are SO much trouble love the meat but not the work .
DeleteLooks like you picked the perfect time to go to the beach. It was too hot to be anywhere else! And I am so glad you just relaxed and enjoyed the beauty of sounds and smells and sights along the shore. God has such beauty waiting for us everywhere, if we just open our eyes to see! Thank you for sharing this with us. What a blessing!!

Deleteso glad you had such a good time. I love the beach...the sand, the water, the sea gulls...everything about it. Mr. Sweet didn't much like it but he was sweet enuf to join the family each summer we went to the beach.
ReplyDeleteThanks BJ. For years Marty didn't care about the beach. But all that changed when the family summer vacation together began at the beach. Now he looks forward to it and he knows how much I love the beach so never complains.
DeleteI am so jealous!!! LOLOL. SMILES
ReplyDeleteWish you could come visit. I'd take you to the beach!

DeleteHi Cindy, I enjoyed catching up. Your grand baby is so pretty! All of your family is! I like how you went on a get away. Do you live in Florida? We are about 35 miles from the beach and we are going on Saturday. We are going to Huntington Beach, surfer USA. I finally updated my site.
ReplyDeleteThanks Susan. I am not sure where Huntington Beach is? Hope you have fun with your family and I know you will because you always have fun!
DeleteWhat a nice getaway. Glad the beach was not crowded. I am yearning to do exactly what you did. Relax on the beach reading a good book and then eating some good seafood.
ReplyDeleteI loved the kite story about your husband. Glad you got a good start to your summer.
It was a nice little getaway Bonnie. He LOVES his kite. Won't let no one borrow it! Cracks me up! That book was soooo good!
DeleteI am so glad you had a nice getaway. I am taking two grandgirls to the beach next week and will spend a week there at our timeshare. I just can't wait.
ReplyDeleteI love crab legs,too...oh my...with drawn butter, oc course.
