Have you ever been to see the manatees that congregate near power plants???? We went last Saturday. It was amazing! By the way, you are forgiven for being gone so long! Those neo-nates need the care that only YOU can give them! You do a great thing everytime you walk through the doors of the NICU!

O...AH HA! So THAT'S where you were hiding out!<br /><br />Oh those zillions of shells. I feel like such a kid when I walk on those southern beaches. They totally change my perception of colors. They are so rich and exciting. Different from Maine, but of course, I love Maine beachcombing too. More mermaid's tears, butter shells, not the diversity.<br /><br />The cookies...WOW! They tickled me.<br /><br />Your Gardener? PRICELESS!<br /><br />Glad you didn't get hauled off to jail.<br /><br />Hugs,<br /><br />Sharon Lovejoy Writes from Sunflower House and a Little Green Island<br /><br />Don't forget to enter my Tasha Tudor autographed book (and one of mine too) giveaway.Sharon Lovejoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04321160956925191137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4929511054591326802.post-32346118920687964162010-12-19T16:46:51.613-08:002010-12-19T16:46:51.613-08:00Saying it's a great trip doesn't even begi...Saying it's a great trip doesn't even begin to describe it. Those desserts and all those shells. Yicks! think of the wreaths I could make with all those!

Love the gardener's beach bag and I'm glad you showed us an up close picture of your treasures, I would want them too, the shells are gorgeous!

I still have flags from Cracker Barrel that I use on our house...you know the kind that have sunflowers and wildflowers. What an amazing time at the beach. I agree with you there is just something about going to the coast during the Autumn and winter months. It is more peaceful. I can't believe all those shells on your beach!!!! I've never seen anything like it. We don't get lots of shells on our beaches. Actually it is a real treasure if you find ONE. We used to find lots of sanddollars but even these days they seem to be scarce. So I treasure everything that I find on the beach...even driftwood. So glad you had such a wonderful time. I haven't been over to visit your blog in so long that I forgot how beautiful your world is.

Girls trips save our lives sometimes *giggle*. Apart from our hospital-odysee with Little Lizzie we are all well again and are awaiting the holiday season. The kids are hibbly bibbly searching for presents that Satas elves may have hidden and I am not yet finished. We are drowing in snow at the moment and so there are a few little things to be done later... we will see.<br />We will spent the holidays only in our little family and with friends this year. My parents are in Tenerife, because my mom cant stand the winter weather in Germany. And Jochens parents are skiing this year for the first time all on their own. But as we had a very busy year it is totally fine like that. We will have tons of time to enjoy and play and eat and do whatever we want - it will be great. In case we will not hear each other on our blogs till x-mas I wish you and your whole big lovely family a wonderful time, health, joy and hours of love and pleasure.
