18 Bags of Shells

Received a nice email from Annia today...

HEY CATHY,

THIS IS ANNIA LANGSTON AND I JUST WANTED TO TELL YOU HOW MUCH I ENJOY YOUR BLOG PICTURES. I JUST WON’T TO BE THERE SO MUCH. ANN AND ROGER ARE DOWN THIS WEEK. I WAS SO PLEASED TO SEE HOW MANY SHELLS YOU GIVE AWAY. I KNOW YOU'RE MAKING OTHER PEOPLE AS HAPPY AS YOU DID ME. I HAVE USED ALL OF MY SHELLS UP. I BOUGHT CHEAP LITTLE CUTE VASES AT TJ MAX AND I FILLED THEM WITH SHELLS AND GAVE ALL MY FOUR SISTERS, MY NEIGHBORS, AND SOME OF MY CHURCH FAMILY FOR CHRISTMAS. THEY ALL LOVED THEM.

THANK YOU FOR BEING A PART OF THAT. I ALSO GAVE TO FRIENDS WHO WERE IN THE HOSPITAL AND IF I NEEDED TO GIVE SOMEONE A LITTLE HAPPY, THAT IS WHAT THEY GOT. I LOVE TELLING THE STORY TO EVERYONE WHOM I GIVE SHELLS.

YOUR LITTLE GRANDAUGHTER IS SO BEAUTIFUL. IS SHE THE ONE WHO WAS WITH YOU THAT DAY WE GOT THE SHELLS. YOUR DAUGHTER IS ALSO PRETTY AMAZING AND VERY BRAVE. I TOLD LAURA AND I WANT TO TELL YOU THAT YOU ARE SO BLESSED TO LIVE ON THE BEACH. TAKE CARE AND

KEEP ON SHELLING !!!

So I replied and told her I had more shells for her if she wanted. She did! So Roger, her brother-in-law, and his friend, Michael, came over to get them. They were surprised to see 18 bags of seashells! I told them to divide up between them all... I gotta make room for more LOL!




Roger and Michael, Shell Couriers!


One of the bags is from today


Hardly anyone was there at lunchtime... too cold


Most of the shells I found were popping out of the sand dunes like this fighting conch... SO FUN!

Last Week

Is 43 Deg F Too Cold For Shelling?

NOPE! As long as you are dressed warm.

Went at lunch to St Andrews State Park and could only stay 30 min but look what I found...

Sand Dollars Anyone?

Temps stayed in the 40's all day but dressed warm and found these this morning down by the jetty



My sand dollar collection is growing


Morning walk












While driving out the park, saw this guy, rustled a plastic bag which got his attention and he came walking over to me hoping for a snack

Welcome 2014: Shelling in the Rain!

Me and my umbrella took a nice walk this morning at St Andrews State Park

Little treasures


Bag of goodies from today


It was drippy but not too bad


Basically rained most the day


In between rain drops, ran out to snap a few
