DAILY THOUGHT: SOME PEOPLE ARE LIKE SLINKIES - NOT REALLY GOOD FOR ANYTHING BUT THEY BRING A SMILE TO YOUR FACE WHEN PUSHED DOWN THE STAIRS.

I know I've posted a couple of these before, but advice like this is timeless.

Sunday Post

Could we with ink the ocean fill

And were the skies of parchment made,

Were every stalk on earth a quill

And every man a scribe by trade

To write the love of God above

Would drain the ocean dry,

Nor could the scroll contain the whole

Tho' stretched from sky to sky.

Happy Fourth of July

We had a great 4th.

We went down to Sandbridge Beach early in the evening to get a good parking spot.

We had a big picnic and played in the water and sand waiting for the fireworks.

I didn't know what to expect since I hadn't been to Sandbridge for the 4th before.

It was probably one of the best fireworks experiences I have had.

There was not one group pre-organized to set off fireworks. Instead, everyone brought their illegal ones and set them off all up and down the beach.

It was a blast. Literally.

At times I couldn't see all of them because they were going off on both sides of me, or directly over my head.

People had plenty of legal ones too and many kids were running around with sparklers.

I stood for a while with my back to the ocean, letting the waves wash over my feet and ankles, feeling the fabulous breeze and watching explosions of colored light all around me.

It was fabulous.

Sorry I didn't get any pictures. I'm not sure I could do it justice with a thousand words either.

How about this: Come stay with me next Fourth of July and we'll go see them together!

Because I Know You Want to See My Feet

I was letting Sammy out in the middle of the night the other night and stubbed my toe on a stool

.

.

I injured my poor toe, the one I lovingly refer to as "Had None", right inbetween "roast beef" and "Wee".

(*Credit must go to the Goddess of Sewing for the creative toe names).

As you can see, poor "Had None" has in fact a pretty bad bruise.

It hurts.

You know when the 6:00 news has a slow news day?

This must be a slow blog day.

The Landscape of my Life

Growing up in Utah I woke up to mountains every day.

And I love my mountains.

Now I live at and love the beach.

I hope to see many more beautiful scenes in my life.

But I am grateful for the ones I get to see every day.

There are magical things that happen when you are close to nature.

It reminds me of the words to a hymn:

. "When through the woods, and forest glades I wander, And hear the birds sing sweetly in the trees. When I look down from lofty mountain grandeur, And hear the brook, and feel the gentle breeze.

Then sings my soul, My Savior God to thee,

How great thou art! How great thou art!"

.

There should be a verse in there about the ocean.

Enjoy your summer. I hope you get to see some wonderful things too.

I'll try to find time to post in between my errands, excursions and the rest of my life.
