Our trip to Kure Beach to Aunt Apes & Uncle Adam's has been on the calendar for months. A bright spot on the horizon...it didn't disappoint. The fun things shaped up a lil' like this...
(in no particular order)
A most warm welcome :)
Checkin' out the view from the "upper deck" ~ anxious for some sand between our toes
Drinks on the beach :)
Grilled burgers & dogs for lunch ~ all kinds of yummy (much needed after the Black Magic Sangrias)
Margaret ~ "our kinda people" :)
perpetually amused & entertained ~ we have that affect on each other (sigh)
enjoyin' lots of GOOD eating
Big Pleasure ~ aka, Mr "I'm 42 years old" :)
Enjoyin' the refreshing water (sand crotch, not so fun)
A lil' chillaxin' on the beach
Lots of lovin' from Big Pleasure
Pool fun :)
Beach "treasures"
New friends ~ Bennett
Speaking of friends...old friends =

knowing we'll be close in heart till the next time we're together. As always, there can never be enough pictures taken to capture the essence of all the joys & blessings felt. They can't capture the sounds of laughter nor the warmth of smiles from just being together.
We had a blessed & joyful time this weekend. Good to be together & good to be reminded that time & distance mean so little sometimes when souls are so kindred. Thanks especially to Apes ~ my lifetime friend. Sharing your time, your home, all your towels to clean up the many spills & overflows - ha. Sitting on the beach with you Saturday afternoon, letting the day fade around us, sharing in the same ways we always have - I treasure your friendship more than I can say.
Thanks again ~ hope the time is short till we're together laughing again :)
Your love, friendship, and eloquent words are so good for my soul. As always, it is great to make the "fun things" that I so enjoy. Hoping and praying for many more equally blessed visits in the future-
ReplyDeleteP.S. I think my favorite "love the moment" moment was Saturday afternoon fading around us on the beach. I don't think either of us could have planned that unplanned moment more perfectly :)
Looks like all had a very blessed and joyful time together~ I know in my heart that the'moments' are engraved in your hearts always~
ReplyDeleteI see John made a new friend, I love the hugging picture,,,,,,Awe:) Love, Mama
