bye bye beach....

beautiful sunrise photo taken the other day....today cloudy and cool in the 60s but even so, never a bad day at the beach.  few more days then back to maryland.  aside from my daughter/son-in-law and my sewing machine, not a thing i miss there...continue to do some stitchery and applique but not quite the same. also good-bye to my immediate family and the comfort they provide.  it'll be back to PT for the remainder of my visits and ramp up my exercise to shed the cane...will still have lots of free time but alas, no sand or surf to enjoy.  anything more and i'd sink into melancholy.....

vacation update

 

my son-in-law took this beautiful sunrise photo the other day....a perfect example of our serene and pure enjoyment during our sojourn here at the coast.  very good weather--yes, few rainy bits--but not enough to spoil our beach time.  and what have i been doing besides lounging on the sand?  a few examples:

finished another crab for pin cushion to sell at guild's show next year...

another nativity block just about done....only head and tiny halo remain....

a thanksgiving cross-stitch piece to use up the last scrap of aida cloth i have....

started on the second angel for the nativity piece....

and lastly.....although i'll be returning to maryland next week....my soles (ouch, pun intended!) always at the beach!
