The Sandcastle Lady

I am so thankful for these good days on the beach, and will never take them for granted.
I built Castle #23 today, and was very happy to meet Sharon, who came from Milton, and brought her daughter, Lacey, who flew from Texas to Baltimore.

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.
