This is the 5th castle I made this week

I met a lovely family today, from Hagerstown. Beth came over first, and the Bernadette came with grandchildren Nora, Charles, June, and Lou. Bernadette’s non-profit business is Prime Time for Women.

Back to the beach for a week!

it was so good to build the first castle of the summer! Carrying buckets of water and scooping sand are rewarded with hours of carving! 🌞

Sad News

Jack, my husband of 49 years, died on November 2, 2024, after a month in the hospital. I am thankful the hospital let me stay with him the entire time.

I do hope to be back on Lewes Beach, at the Massachusetts Dune crossing, August 10 – September 12.

Sadly, leaving Lewes a week early

Yesterday morning, we decided that Jack’s CHF needed to be seen by his doctor, because of his trouble breathing, and the increased swelling in his feet and legs, and yesterday, his hand. We packed up, with much appreciated help from our friends, Audrey and John, and I drove us home to Village Green. We will see Jack’s CHF cardiologist Monday, after labs are done.
I am grateful that we had 4 of our 5 weeks here, in Lewes. I ask, and will be grateful for prayers for Jack.

The Wind continues!

It was so nice to meet Tammy and Heather, from Port Lewes and from Pennsylvania this morning. 💕 Seeing Conway and Annette again was great!💕 The strong North East wind was in force again.💨 I built my 18th castle today.

It’s Windsday today!

We still had a strong wind onshore from the NorthEast, but yesterday’s castle was completely intact, and I decided to try an alligator, and a little tower. Colleen Davis Jacono came down to say hi, and it was nice to meet Juanita Haulsee and her friend Sharon.

Another windy day today

Very strong onshore wind brought the tide way up beyond the castle (but I didn’t have to go far to get water.)
Not many on the beach, but Stumpy hung out with me, as usual. I’ve known this one footed seagull for five years now.
