The Sandcastle Lady

My sister came last night, and was with me today! She carried water, and helped make trees. I taught Cece (4 1/2) and her dad, Eric how to make sand castles. 🏰💕 My tools and Sandcastle molds were lent to kids building sandcastles. 🏰💕 Anita and Barb came to meet me, and said they have been following me for 3 years. 🏰💕
There was a nice onshore breeze as I built my 22nd castle today.

Had a great day on the beach today, teaching some good kids, and meeting wonderful new people!
I took the first picture as the sailboat was passing in the bay, before I finished the sides of the castle, in the second picture.

I had a nice day off yesterday, because of the rain. I started a watercolor painting, did some baking, wrote a letter to my friend, who just turned 96, and took myself out to an early dinner. It was good to be back on the beach, building today!

After church, I had my breakfast here (pasta and shrimp from last night,) put on my bathing suit, sunscreen, got a hat and a cover up, packed my beach bag, and started out the door – it was raining! That means a day off for me after 19 days of building castles. 💕 I’ll be on the beach the next sunny day, and hopefully I will see you 🌞💕🏰

Here is sandcastle #19, with the ferry in the bay, coming in to port.

.Breezy beautiful day today, for my 5 hour castle#18. I love that a sailboat anchored out in the bay behind where I build.

Ruby worked most of the day, working on her castle, that is fantastic!

Yesterday, Coco (about 4) wanted me to build the castle that I painted on my sign❤️
This is castle #17. 

Bobbi and her daughter Kristen brought Max and Coco to meet the Sandcastle Lady! It was so nice see them, and talk about today’s sandcastle. I will try to make a castle for Coco tomorrow 💕🏰

I taught Ruby last year, and she and her mom came back, and were building today. Their castle was still in process when I took the picture.🏰💕

I was able to finish my 16th castle, giving thanks to God for this beautiful day.
