Image of the Week - by Chan McQuay

Ahhh...a beach throwback. This was one of the gorgeous photos that Chan McQuay snapped. I love it's vantage point.
Everyone have a great day, I'm off to rehearsal, and will hopefully chat more later!

Home

We made it home, and I am glad to be back to my house, as is Boo. I have just unpacked, put laundry in, and gobbled up dinner. I have to make candles now, as several orders came in while I was gone!
I'll put more up here later.
Bye!

Fenwick - Day 4 - Memory Lane

Well, we went down to Ocean City today, and it was weird to see our previous beach vacation location totally deserted.










We walked for 4 miles total. Needless to say, we are all tired, Boo included.






















We went by The Safari Motel, our previous accommodations. It was funny to see the old dive again. But I am OH SO GLAD that we stayed in Fenwick Island this time. SO much nicer.












So we are now enjoying our last evening here, as we leave for home tomorrow morning. I can't believe it has gone by this fast. It feels like we just got here. But I guess the best vacations always feel like that. I am glad for the time that we have had together, and for the peace and relaxation that we have had. And I am happy and excited to get home and start making candle orders. Oh well. Perhaps we can come back in the Summer.
That's all from Fenwick Island. (I think) Unless I post more later.
We'll see you tomorrow Arlington!
luv,

More Beach Photos...(photos by Chan McQuay

I love this photo. I will probably frame this.










I love this photo of Matty...












And this one of Buddha....so wise.













And this one of the shore....








More to follow. We are about to hop in the car and drive to Ocean City to walk around. Ocean City is about 11 miles down the road, so I'll take the camera and put up more later.

Till then...

Fenwick - Day 4

Well, as you can see, the fun continues on the beach trip. Fun except for this morning, when I was walking along the beach, just me and Booey (everyone else went to Dirty Harry's for breakfast), talking with my Mom, when all of a sudden, I fell into what you might call quicksand. Up to past my knees. I screamed at the shock of the fall, and in turn, so did my poor Mother. I pulled out of the mess and went immediately home. I told my Mom...well, that's enough of the beach for me today.












We have taken some gorgeous photos here, and have had quite a peaceful retreat. I have about 70 some pages left in my book, so I will finish that today, and I got to the next level on my video game (a feat that has taken me two days). So I'm happy.









Boo has been a trooper, but I think that he is more than ready to go back to his couch.
More photos in a little bit...

Monday, Monday - Fenwick Tribe

Well, Eleasha got here today in time for our afternoon walk on the beach and kite fight. Yes, kite fight. We fly the kites, then try to take down the other person's kite with our kite. Fun.





I always feel like the "mom" on vacation, as there are 200 pictures of everyone else, but none of me. You'd think that I wasn't even there. So, I got Matty to take a picture of me and Booey.







And as we returned to the house, everyone else went to go to the local pottery store, I stayed behind with Boo and read my book (Lisey's Story by Stephen King - excellent). As everyone returned, the sun was setting behind the lighthouse and I snapped this gorgeous photo.





I will miss this place when I leave it.
Goodnight, all.
More beach blogging tomorrow!

Beach Bums

The fun continues in Fenwick Island, as the temperature has risen into the 60's today! We have the screen door open it is so beautiful.
Buddha wrote of his true love while taking his morning walk today.
At least he is honest.






Buddha is having the time of his life running around free on the beach. We are also having the time of our lives doing it with him.









That is all for now. I'll post more pictures later. I'm currently enjoying lunch (grilled ham and cheese) and we are watching Napoleon Dynamite. Buddha is sleeping on my lap. I spent the other half of the morning playing video games and reading. This is truly heaven.
Talk to you later!

Weekend Getaway...

I am at the beach for the weekend, staying (thank God) for free at a friend's beach house. We are having a fantastic time, and I am filling out candle orders from a counter in the kitchen of the beach house. We brought the computer and so I am able to blog from here! I can't get over the quantity of candle orders, and especially subscription packages! I am happy that everyone seems to be interested in my candles, and happier still that when I get home, I can start making them. I truly love the process of making them.
What else?
Oh yeah, look at the size of this dead Horseshoe Crab that I found! Creepy. I'd hate to have stepped on this!

More to come from the beach house. I hope you all are having a fantastic weekend!
Luv,
SGS
