An Awesome View of Life

While sitting on our balcony last week in Florida, we had the privilege of watching this story unfold.  We saw a lady walking two golden retrievers along the beach when one got away from her.  This wonderful lady in the white helped out with one dog while she chased after the runaway dog.   As we watched, the runaway dog proceeded to swim out into the ocean.  Soon we realized his/her "dad" was one of the kiters and was trying to catch up with him.  When dad saw the dog he came ashore so the dog would follow.  This dog was doing some serious swimming out there in the rough ocean just to see dad.

Ice Dam? or Damn Ice! Maybe a bit of both.  I keep saying it is time to move to Florida.  We really haven't had much snow or even very many cold days but it is truly time for spring.

Vacation Memories   Seashells and rocks in an antique bowl.  These are from our vacation to Del Ray Beach, FL in 2011. We have a jar full of sand and seashells in our bathroom aswell.  I also have two other baggies full of seashells.  Do I have a problem?  I don't think so, I just love the beaches of Florida and love to bring just a bit of each of them back with me.  ha!
