Ocean Shores

Our trip to Ocean Shores!


We have a Friend who has been trying to get us to use their vacation home for around 10 years and last week we finally made it a reality. We went up Thursday and stayed till Sat. Evening, we had a blast. Who knew that they would be having a sandcastle building contest while we were there. (Next year I want to enter. No, I have never built anything before but it looks like fun. And that's what it's all about right? Who cares if you can tell what it is?LOL!






The above picture is Titled
"A Fools Castle"
I couldn't believe the people that had no clue why this was called a "Fool's Castle" just in case your wondering yourself.... The foolish man built his house upon the sand. As we were standing there and everyone was packing up, judging had been done the Tide started coming in. We stayed to see if there was any truth to the song. Unfortunately High Tide was only a couple inches too short to really wash this castle away. However it did wash away the trees and bridge soo what ever you do.. do not build your house upon the Sand!










We had a blast! Thank You Susan! And a big Thank You to Norm for letting us use his daughters plot to set up our tent!

Thanks for taking a picture and commenting on the Fool's Castle Sand Scupture at Ocean Shores. You understood the true meaning behind our sand sculpture as it was inspired by Matthew 7:26. Looking forward to seeing you folks next year.

It's Blabbing day today!! Are they kidding me? A day I can just go on and on about nothing? (I bet they created this day for the children)LOL! So I found a brand of shoes that I absolutely love to look at. I have not worn or own a pair but would love to in the future. I just think paying more than $20 for a pair of shoes is crazy! And most of there shoes are $50+ These are one of my favorite!! But I haven't been able to find them cheaper than $89 that's a little steep.(I think) I will find them cheaper you just watch. They might be out of style by the time I can purchase them but I will have them. I love these too! I think I have a new hobby.. collecting shoes, now if I could only afford them. I have a couple of kids who have a difficult time channeling their Anger. So we are thinking of putting them into AKIDO (martial arts). Akido focuses on using there energy to gain control, Not on striking their opponent. I might actually need to take a few classes myself. I find chann

I have finished Callies pajama bottom's. Yea! I have also made Andrews bottoms complete with pockets. And now I only have 6 1/2 pairs to go. How cute are these? I found the Christmas tissue paper at the dollar tree and then took one roll of toilet paper wrapped it up with the tissue paper added the cute little sayings and ta da! You have a cute gag gift. We are using these for our cast party tonight. They are having a white elephant gift exchange and I thought these would be fun. I also bought hangers from the dollar tree and I am going to download these days of the week tags and package them together for another gift. What are some other gift ideas? I need four more presents. Merry Christmas! I wanted to get you something different, Something special for this year... It is always such a challenge to buy for those that you hold dear. But when you see this special gift, I know that you will sigh... It’s a special tissue just for you, To pat your booty dry! Just Thinking of You! I w
