Kinda weird to come by tblog to visit all my blog buddies and find that a big hunk of em are on hiatus.  I guess it's that time of year that people are traveling and busy with reality stuff.  Me too, only I WISH I was traveling.

I did make it to the beach on Sunday with my family!  What a beautiful day it was.  Reminded me why this is tourist country.  Also reminded me that I need to spend more time outside in my own town.  I must live in one of the most gorgeous tropical enviornments in this country.  Lucky me!

There was a huge sandbar right off the beach.  I took the 3 brave kids on a swim adventure.  We waded out to the bar and then explored for shells and sand dollars.  It was big fun.  What put a damper on the adventure was coming home to hear the news on the recent shark attacks up in the panhandle.  Yikes!  The recent kid was in waist deep water.  Easy to be scared off.  Yet I have lived here for 16 + years and still have all my limbs.

I guess it is a risk we take enjoying the enviornment of carnivores.  Imagine if we lived during dinosaur times.  It wouldn't be safe to walk to the mailbox.
