tall ships, sandcastles, cheeze-its, & kisses


Went down to the beach today
to see the tall ships
make their way down the
Savannah River
and out into the ocean. 
 It was stormy
and sadly,
the sails were not hoisted,
but oh what a sight it was!
The beach was lined with people
who had come
down to the shore to see them off.
The call of
"Here comes another one,"
could be heard far down the beach.

The two little kiddos who went with us
weren't very interested in the ships, 
 but  they swam
and ran
and built sandcastles festooned with seashells
until they couldn't go anymore. 
There was so much activity
that the Cheeze-Its and Hershey's Kisses
 we brought for a snack
didn't even come close to reaching the hunger spot.

The big story here was their Granddaddy!
Bubba you make me proud!
I love how you love these children!
Who would have thought that you and I would be here.....
sitting on the beach,
playing with our grandchildren.
