Castle #9, after 2 days of bad weather

The nor’easter flattened the beach, so this Castle is small, but sincere.

overcoming obstacles

Unfortunately, a castle destroyer was here last night. But despite a late start, was able to build something today. Hoping for a better castle tomorrow.

Lots of people on the beach on this beautiful Saturday

A beautiful Saturday on the beach, seeing old friends Conway and Annette; Diane and her daughter Kimberly; and Beanie and Carol Denlinger.. Met some new friends, too – Jenny, a teacher and former lifeguard, who swam out and rescued a young boy who was afraid to come in because of the jellyfish; and Kass, who walked down from the New York Beach. I built a 7th castle today, thanks be to God.

Thursday, my 5th castle, and my son Brendan’s castle

Brendan’s castle – his are always an architectural delight with crisp edges, where my castles are sort of rough.
