I have videos of the beach Tuesday and Wednesday, but no photos. It was REALLY windy and chilly, and no building for me.
Came down in a drizzle that changed to sunshine!
I start on the day before’s castle, splash it down, and put some more sand on top, and splash it again. This makes each day’s castle a little bigger than the day before.
One more castle before going back to Nashville
I was so glad to see Airek coming to the beach! He has a lot of joy building sandcastles, and joy is “catching!”
After Friday’s storm, a small Castle
I had to start from the ground up, and could only manage a small castle, hopefully the next one will be a little bigger.
A Nashvillian returns!
Airek, in his twenties, was in Lewes 2 years ago, and was bitten by the Sandcastle bug. He returned, and built a great Castle next to mine!
Very hot on the beach Thursday!
I was moving more slowly than usual, and even took a break sitting in the water for awhile, to cool off. When I took the picture, I had trouble finding the horizon where the water met the sky! I left a little earlier than I would have liked, because of the storm coming.
Happy 73rd birthday to me!
A beautiful day on the beach today!
Had to start over
A mother of one of the children who trampled yesterday’s castle said she thought it was like the sandcastle contest, where they’re destroyed afterward. I explained I work on the same spot, so I don’t have to start over.
First castle after the storm
Sunday, September 8, was my first time on the beach, since Wednesday, September 4, before Dorian’s storm here.
It’s good to build, in these last summer days!
A flash back to 2012 –
A few days ago, I posted pictures of a sweet 9 year old, Tate, who was building a castle with her mom. Her mom told me they met me when Tate was 3.
But yesterday, her mom sent me a note with these 3 pictures from 2012, when Tate was only 2 1/2, and building castles with me! Thanks be to God that I can meet wonderful families like these!
