I woke up at 6:30 this morning and peaked out my window. What I saw was amazing. Yesterday the sea gulls were flocking and this morning the pelicans were flocking! It was so amazing to watch. I took about a 100 pictures so I had to just pick a few of them to post. The kids left about 11:00 this morning and I’ve had the place to myself. It is a rare treat to say the least. I went out for a walk this afternoon. The beach was pretty much deserted. It was a little chilly out, but not too bad. I had gotten a few extra salads from Wendy’s and McDonald’s so a salad was for supper. Rachel had left a piece of apple pie, so that messed up the salad!

Hey everyone!
The long awaited family pictures from Christmas are here. Included is Rachel, Joel and I with our Christmas baking day. Also, many pictures from Topsail Beach. I got a new camera today. It’s a Nikon D3100. I will be playing with it this week while I’m at the beach. Scott is hoping to join me soon. He has two guitars to finish. I am actually looking forward to having a few days to myself with the beach.

I accidentally sent the good camera back with Scott before I took off the family pictures! I am probably going home tomorrow, so I will try to post those soon. Here are a few from last week and also today. We have a storm going through and the ocean is awesome! It is raining now and I’m watching the ocean from the comfort of the dining room. I sat out on the balcony for hours this morning. I am starting to think of projects at home that I want to do, so I am thinking I am getting rested up. It took me till yesterday to start thinking about the projects. I really needed a vacation! Enjoy the pictures!

Rachel rented a beach house in Topsail Beach, NC. I am thoroughly enjoying being at the beach. I’ve been getting up early and sitting out on the porch. I use my very cold winter walking outfit and sit out with my coffee. There a few pictures of oddball things in with the beach stuff. I hope to get a good family picture as the kids are all descending on the place for Christmas Eve, so be watching for more pictures to appear.

July trip to Murrells Inlet
Scott and I had a good trip to Murrells Inlet, SC in July. We are hoping to get there again in October sometime (maybe two times if we are lucky). I figured I’d better get the pictures posted from last time before we go again.
Hope you enjoy them!

Murrells Inlet, SC 7.16.2011
Scott and I got a wild idea to go to the beach for the weekend. Scott said Friday morning “Let’s go to the beach tonight!” I said “O that sounds good!” This summer has been so hectic with Scott’s work and also the church stuff that he is doing that we figured we’d better just go. It was so refreshing to be alone together. Unfortunately, we only had Saturday and Sunday. We are now back to the crazy life we lead.
I got a teleconverter for our camera. It doubles the distance of your original lens. I wasn’t sure if I liked it trying it at home. It works real well for trips when you want to get a close up, but don’t want to be right next to your subject (example: alligator out in the water!) I also got a lot of cool pictures of pelicans. You know how I love the pelican!
I haven’t posted our 4th of July pictures yet, but I’ll do that soon.
My porch is almost done. Scott only has a couple of items left to do and then he can call the inspector. Those few items were some of things we should have been doing this weekend instead of enjoying ourselves. The saying is, I think that can wait!
I took over 400 pictures so here is just a sampling of them. I was obsessed with the ocean and took about 150 of that. I also got a lot of the sea grass. Good thing that I wasn’t using film like the old days! Sorry about all the captions. When I like a picture, I put a caption under it so that I know to upload it to the website. If you know what the birds are, you can e-mail me and then I will get the right captions on them.
