That seaweed is very cool looking.<br /><br />As for your comment about Paris, I couldn't agree more, before I went. I was surprised my sister who said "we are going in 3 weeks, plan our itinerary, and then I fell in love . . .

Yes yes, the sand, the shells, the little creatures, the seaweed, all of it. You know, it's funny, on sunny days, there's a frumpy alien who follows ME around, too!<br /><br />I was here yesterday to read this post, and I had just started to read when inspiration hit me over the head with a rubber mallet, and I started writing "Creatures Of The Sea" for my blog. At some point, I must have absently X'd out your post, and so I am back today to read it. Glad I did!Fireblossomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07040525704916368792noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-447321916012029979.post-42931819858681919942010-07-18T09:24:04.710-05:002010-07-18T09:24:04.710-05:00Great idea to attach the tarp to your truck.

We planned a beach trip to NJ last weekend, but there was pouring rain. We went anyway and walked on the boardwalk in the rain. The Gulf coast beaches are my favorite beaches in the world so I hope they recover. I read about your sewing project with your granddaughter--sounds like fun. I will have to remember that one in a few years. She's a cutie.R.
