Even though I was joined by what seemed to be ALL of the Carolinas on the trip back north, I am still savoring my beach jaunt.
I managed to catch one of the displays lit up as a park ranger fiddled with the wiring.
My yummy dinner~gift card redeemed.
Since it rained most of Monday, am glad that I brought a painting project. Had the balcony door wide open to hear the surf and daubed away the afternoon.
One more walk with the bottlenose dolphins and the finding of a perfect shell!! Don't think I've ever seen a completely black one.
Always a little melancholy to walk away from the beach~but! There is lefse to be made in just a few hours. And tomorrow is only exams, no teaching. (oh, did I mention that I'm still teaching one ESL section? I am through the end of the year. Makes me happy as I enjoy being in the classroom. While my new position is busy and fun, I am SO not the kind of person who can sit still at a desk for eight hours. I manage maybe 20 minutes if I'm doing computer work.)
Laundry to do, lunch to prep, suitcase to unpack~vacay ends so quickly.
That shell is really pretty! And so rare to find one that big unbroken!
ReplyDeleteI missed our beach trip this year!
Isn't it gorgeous??! It is rare to find them whole. Trying to figure out what I want to do with it. Magnet? Jewelry? Xmas decoration?
DeleteLefse making starts here soon, too. Someone at church asked me is I knew what Klub was! She also makes lefse.
ReplyDeleteFun day at the beach. I like your painting.
Yes, the beach is always good~no matter the weather.
DeleteHappy Thanksgiving!
