Wednesday, August 14 was a great day on the beach!

Jonah (11) somehow was out of the water long enough to build a castle. James (8) built a great castle that collapsed when someone attempted to put a cone on top of his building. James persevered, and built a modern design castle with lots of steps. And I built Castle #4 today, and am thankful to be building and teaching great kids!

2nd day on the beach, and the second castle, and Avery 9 and Lainey’s castle

Lots of people stopped by today, and it was good to see them! Tamara stayed and visited; and Lecia told me I had taught her children Jack and Anna, who are grown now. Cindy brought her daughter, Lexi, whom I taught when she was younger. My walking friend, Vladimir, also came by.

Avery 9 and Lainey 6, with just a whisp of their castle left, as the tide came in.

My last day, and last castle

Today was my last day, and last castle. This was the 31st castle built during my 5 weeks here. Today, I met Kerah, from Pittsburgh. 💗 Pete came back today, and brought me a box of fresh figs!💗What a surprise to see Josh Farrell and Chrissie Farrell walking down the beach!💗

HIGH tide, and wind from the North East

VERY strong North wind today! It was nice with John and Audrey Bewley, for company, and help with water! Linda Mouradian came, and
visited, too. Maggie, 5, and Jack 10, came by, from Lewes. They were very excited to be going to Disney world tomorrow, for 11 nights!
