One of the greatest things about living on the water is collecting sea shells!! I have really enjoyed this hobby.

Each shell is a bit different and therefore unique..... They remind me a bit of snowmen and why I loved to collect them. They seem to each have their own personalities. :)
And of course the chance of finding that rare or special treasure.
Interesting how you find a beautiful shell with maybe a slight crack or not quite perfect shape and people will pass right on by... And maybe with a little cleaning or acrylic glaze they look great. I am thankful that's how our heavenly Father is...
We are all diamond's in the ruff...... Some need a bit more scrubbing than others. :)

The polka dot on the left is a crab shell.....

Large Whelk............( hard to find in one piece)

The long narrow one's are called Minor Jackknife..........

The shell in the middle is called Shark's eye..... The white one with pop marks is coral.

A pretty big shrimp boat went by our house the other day..............

Noelle playing at the park and watching Mommy & Daddy playing....

I finally have all my fall decorations out.... We have had a couple cool days, kind of nice to wear a sweatshirt again.
It is also nice to drive around with the top down on mustang at the end of October. :)

My giant purple Mum......

All the boys played softball tonight at the park...... What a blessing to get together with a bunch of Christian friends for fun and fellowship.

Hello everyone,... I have been very busy and neglected my blog a bit.. I was down in Texas and Mexico then to Memphis for my nephew Rodney's wedding.

I have posted a lot of pictures..... sorry if you feel I got carried away. I like lots of pictures :)
I am sure everyone is getting ready for fall...... It is hard to decorate when it's still in the 80's....
Happy Autumn to all.....
