Scott and I went to Murrells Inlet, SC again this last weekend. It was Scott’s birthday while we were there. We were so grateful for the time away. Scott didn’t have too much work to do so it was more relaxing this time.
There were thunderstorms on Saturday but we were still able to get to the beach. I got some awesome pictures of the ocean and the dark skies.
I was also so excited when I noticed a flock of pelicans coming from the distance. I was able to get quite a few good pictures of them.
I took 200 pictures while we were gone, so I pared them down to 18 so I didn’t bore you too bad with the usual ocean wave and moon pictures. We didn’t see any crabs at all this time. We did see about five dolphins, but my camera wasn’t ready so I didn’t get any of them.
It was cooler here this morning than in Florida. It has been warmer here most of the summer. It was still a very humid walk. Bear had a little trouble with the heat. Chloe was unaffected as usual.
Chloe caught and ate a baby rabbit yesterday morning. I didn’t see that she had it fast enough. When I noticed, the poor thing was already dead. She still can’t figure out why I wasn’t happy with her prize. I’m usually thrilled when she catches a mole, or a mouse. Bear was afraid of it, so he didn’t make Chloe share.
Hope you enjoy the pictures, I had a blast taking them. I’m thinking of borrowing Scott’s good camera and try my hand at the more expensive camera. Scott has two guitars that he is almost done with. He’s been working on them for quite awhile but work has been stressful and that keeps him from doing the intricate work that is necessary for guitar building.
I’ve been reading about couponing and how you can save money doing that. I am finding some coupons I can use, but not many. With all my food allergies, I don’t use processed food items so that is limiting me. I also have to make my own body products or buy organic unscented products. I have discovered getting my meats when it is on clearance. I’ve been able to fill up the freezer with good meat at a good price. I started getting the Sunday paper for the coupons and then watching for the grocery papers during the week to see what items are on sale. I also have gotten my food inventory sheet more up to date so that I know what we have in the house. It would be more helpful if I remembered to take that with me when I am shopping!
Well, I guess that is it for this posting. I can’t remember anything else that is new or exciting.
