Our beach vacation was suprisingly sunny and mild, considering all of the rains and flooding we had at home, just about 100 miles away. We had a wonderful and relaxing time!  I took a number of photographs: sights and seascapes, trekking with my socks, and enjoying time with my honey… Now I need to unpack, do laundry, and read a few hundred emails! :)

More details to come, my friends!  it is good to be “home”, both in my house with my pets, and in the blogland!

    Welcom back! I’m happy to hear that weather at the beach was much better than the weather at home. Here in VA it’s been wicked. BTW, I love the signs on the trash cans. Very cute.

    You, my dear, are a lucky girl, missing the Howard County deluge. I was thinking about you, then remembered you were en vacances!

    We certainly didn’t have blue skies here. Hmpfh.

    Welcome Back! Looks like you had a nice relaxing time with your honey. Plus an added bonus you go to knit on the beach:) I tried this in Cancun and did not venture too well as there was tooo much to do! I was only able to work on the yellow scarf I made for April.

    Glad your home–I missed your posts too and would like to see more of your vaca pictures.

    Looks like a beautiful and fun trip to the beach. Welcome home!

    I see that Kris is a pro when it comes to crabbing. My family used to head down to Galveston when I was a kid and rouse us at ungodly hours of the morning to make the first ferry. We’d bring out giant coolers and chicken necks and gizards and catch crabs. Of course, we were low-tech amateurs, so we just tied kite string around the chicken necks and threw them in the water. When the line went taught… slowly reeling them in was the key. But boy are those gulf crabs yummy!
