a day at the beach with lucy

Yesterday was a gorgeous 80 degree day.

A perfect beach day for sure.

Lu and I grabbed some sub sandwiches on the way

and ate then sitting on the beach.

The sea birds came quickly and ate what we didn't.

The biggest surprise was that we got sand 

to replace the dunes that we lost to Matthew & Irma.

It is not nearly enough,

but we are thankful for what we got.

This big ship passed by while we were there.

As breathtaking as they are,

they come so close to the shore that the waves they create

cause as much beach erosion as the storms and the high tide.

That's Lucy down at the beautiful bend of the beach.

She has a bucket and a net and is looking for minnows.

She loves to beach bum with her gram.

A shrimp boat heading home with a catch.

Didn't see any dolphins this time.

Sandra Bulloch's beach house.

She seemed to have lost all of the foliage around her home

as well as the dunes.

Makes for getting a good look at it though.

No trip to the beach would be complete 

without a stop at the Sugar Shack for ice cream. 

Lucy got Key Lime Pie and I got Lemon Custard.

We sat on the porch and people-watched for a while.

@I love the beach

@I love my granddaughter

@I love ice cream.

Thank you Lord God for these blessings.
