What a collection and what photos! I love also reading about how you get up in the early morning, coffee in hand, and write here. I can't say the same for me. I am far more likely to wind down the end of the day!

You know I'm out on the Oregon coast for my vacation and I've been combing the beach for nearly a week now and all I have to show for it is a handful of rocks that are beautiful, but that must be sopping wet for one to see that they are pretty! I gave up on sea glass and decided to look for sea hearts (rocks shaped like hearts, washed up by the ocean). I developed a faux legend about them as I hunted but only found one, and it requires a creative eye to see the heart! Now that I've created this legend, I'm obsessed with finding a really good one. Have to keep reminding myself, Hey, girl. You just made that up yesterday!anyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11330838836181706358noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7154679782170119347.post-9625249669502833922008-07-03T22:30:00.000-03:002008-07-03T22:30:00.000-03:00oh, these photos make me yearn to be walking the b...oh, these photos make me yearn to be walking the beach, soaking up the sun, feeling the warm sand on my feet and leisurely searching for a special beach "treasure"!! your arrangements are so nice!julie kinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02009127575536333064noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7154679782170119347.post-5849334940601415162008-07-03T15:37:00.000-03:002008-07-03T15:37:00.000-03:00I have spent some time this morning reading back t...I have spent some time this morning reading back through your stories of Jake. Being new to blogland, I had no idea you had lost him so recently. I know well the heartache you are experiencing. We lost a beloved dog in June of 03, and it took us a year and a half to even be able to think of another. Of course, we found Edward, and then sweet Apple, and we now feel doubly blessed. I truly cannot think of a harder thing than losing one's dog. I had that special connection throughout my life with dogs, and there is nothing similar on earth. All the best to you, and you and Winnie are welcome to visit Edward anytime!Pamela Terry and Edwardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12746603636884819522noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7154679782170119347.post-46387761323732152422008-07-03T13:03:00.000-03:002008-07-03T13:03:00.000-03:00I looooooove this mosaic.

THAT really gets me moving! Just last week Philip told me his father was going to be coming here all week long so after rushing around and working up a sweat in all this mugginess, I finally had enough and contacted a great gal who does housekeeping here in town. I kept telling myself if I could just get it completed THEN I could stay on top of it. Not true. So if she can just come to do the vacuuming and scrubbing that will make me happy. The dusting and straightening I can do myself.<BR/>And you can’t worry about what the housekeeper will think when they arrive. That is their job…to save you from yourself. There are a lot worse houses out there…believe me! Once they begin coming regularly, you’ll be impressed how tidy the place seems to stay. Give it a chance. Ask around town.<BR/>hugs,<BR/>VVhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11155550975088566435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7154679782170119347.post-56183448369206620802008-07-03T07:16:00.000-03:002008-07-03T07:16:00.000-03:00What a wonderful morning treat.

I am not a big fan of the housekeeping so I can totally relate. I just tell myself that I am too busy and have too many allergies to spend so much time on cleaning. Besides, I love thinking about making things more than cleaning up things.:)Nana Trish is Living the Dreamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11401202649082669911noreply@blogger.com
