Just returned from a family vacation.
So much fun! I did not want anyone to go home, especially me. This was the first time in a long time we had our two daughters, their husbands, and children (plus an extra) together. Being with family and combing the beach for new shells has to be my favorite thing to do. Of course food is always involved---we take turns cooking the meals and also eat local seafood out. After attending Easter Sunday at a nearby church, we had the first of many family meals. Spent some quality time playing with my grandchildren. This year we had a visiting grandchild (8 mths old) and she was a happy baby. Except when they were tired, the kids had a blast. There is just something about the beach that relaxes me more than anything else. Maybe the sun, saltwater and ocean waves? Wish I could live there full time, then I could vacation to the mountains, which I also love. Come to think of it, nature vacations are my all-time favorite by far. The beach we go to is not very populated, therefore you feel you have the beach to yourself most of the time. Personally, I think everyone needs a full month off from work to vacation in one spot and really re-connect with what really matters in the world, God and Family. One day.
Speaking of work, I just reduced all items in my Etsy shop. Check out the new prices. If you know of any upcoming shows in my area or state, let me know! Currently working on fall and Christmas items too.
So very relaxing!

Out for a stroll early one morning. Dolphins were playing very close to shore.
