Our St. Martin Escape

Our vacation to the beautiful beaches of St. Martin was magnificent! So wonderful that we have already made plans to return! This slideshow moves quickly and takes about 20 minutes to view - a perfect thing to do when you have that first cup of coffee in the mornings! (Be sure to turn the music to the playlist off first - so that you can enjoy the slideshow music.) WARNING - these pictures will make you want to be there!

Sandcastles on St. Martin

When we were at St. Martin, we met the nicest family from Bavaria, Germany. The father and his 2 daughters made a wonderful sandcastle village on the beach there. They worked on it everyday, making new castles and reparing old ones that had been damaged by wind and waves. We walked the beach several times a day just to see their creations - as they were always changing. I wanted to share these sandcastle memories with you---

Knitting on the Beach - in St. Marteen

This blog is supposed to be about knitting and also about my travels - so how about both? We just got back from a fabulous trip to the beautiful island of St. Marteen. I plan to post a slide show of our pictures in a few days----. But until then here is a small preview. I call this first picture "Knitting with a View". That is the turquoise waters of the Orient Bay in the background. Don't you love my yarn - I am knitting on a Christmas sweater for our sweet little grandson, Mason.




This is the path that we walked everyday to get to the beach. That sand was as soft as powder. You can just almost feel the ocean breezes when you look at this picture! I will have more pictures posted in just a few days. Sadly - I have to work a few days first!
