Happy Moments...

Yesterday, I chatted with two dear friends and with both of them I got to talking about being at the beach. So, when Daniel came home from work and said he felt like going for a swim, the decision was made and off we went.
I had just dug my very happy feet into the warm sand, when Daniel came back to where I was sitting, saying that the water was filled with these:
Yuck! What were we to do? Go on a treasure hunt, of course! What else?!?

We found two olive shells,
then one more,
some electric pink coral,
and a real, honest-to-goodness castle!! We briefly thought about moving in, but somehow we couldn't quite fit. Note to self: find bigger castle!
And then we came across preparations for a young couple's very happy moment.
Here's to happy moments, because in the end, those are all that matter... Thank you for making so many of my moments happy ones!

  1. That pink coral is incredible! We don't have thing like that here (at least I've never found any!) It sounds so blissful to have toes in warm sand. Not much chance of that here either at the moment, but I look forward to the summer months when we should get at least a bit of sun-shine! Thanks for sharing this wonderful warm day. :o) xx

  3. I love to go on treasure hunts. But to have the possibilities to do it on the beach - that is unbeatable. Have a nice weekend. Hugs, Inge

  9. Right now, our beach is perfect: the sand is warm and the water refreshing. Ask me again in the summer when the sand is hot and the water as well...

    I dont' know what kind of jellyfish those were, but even if they weren't the stinging kind (which we get a lot of in August), there were so many in the water that it wasn't enjoyable to swim in... They usually disappear when the current changes a little.

    Love, Silke

    Let the good times roll!

  14. What a beautiful day at the beach. That's such a nice sensation, digging your toes into warm sand. And those shells! I had to smile at the obvious source of their names.

    Sounds like a wonderful weekend is well underway. xoxo

  16. I do my best thinking and my best appreciating at the beach. Your feet were no doubt jubilant! That you and Daniel switched from bobbing to shelling made me at your resourcefulness.

    Here's to a great rest of the weekend, silke

  18. What a wonderful beach walk you had! Oh - how Imiss our Florida beach house - wish I was there right now! So wonderful that you can just be at the beach whenever you want (I am jealous!).
