Day of the Seagulls

Going to the beach on a weekday is so different from going on the weekend. We arrived to find the beach mostly empty and as people did come, everyone had enough room to take a space without intruding on anyone else. I don’t know if it was the lack of people, but the beach was […]

Weekend Coffee Share

Good Morning! Come inside, it’s a bit muggy and overcast today, but at least the heat wave seems to have come to an end. Not that I minded- I happen to love the summer and don’t mind the heat at all. I’ve been on vacation since school ended in June, and enjoying my free time […]

Summertime…..

The beach season has arrived and the weather has cooperated so that we were able to go twice this week. An hour and 1/4 drive and we leave the suburbs behind and arrive on the NJ shore, where the streets are lined with small bungalows and houses with large wrap around front porches. This year […]

Sidewalk Chalk Fun-The Weekly Smile

I took a walk after work last night and as I passed a local school came upon some drawings in chalk on the sidewalk out front. They made me smile and lifted my spirits after a long day. My smile of the week. I loved this one especially- it said “SCHOOL”S ALMOST OVER!” to me. […]

Share Your World

Would you rather live where it is always hot or always cold? The older I become the less tolerance I have for the cold. I would much rather live in a place that is always warm, but as for now I am remaining in a state that has four seasons, and where cold seems to […]

Summer Came Early

The temps hit 87 degrees on Sunday so my husband and I headed for the beach! What a treat to sit by the ocean in April. I walked to the edge of the water and found it to be FREEZING, but enjoyed it anyway. Here are some of the sights as we walked a round […]

Summer Rituals

I work as an assistant teacher, which means I am off from work for two months during the summer. The first year I was working I found this so odd. I had always worked in jobs where I was entitled to a vacation, but usually 2 weeks. When I worked in  New York City’s jewelry […]

Fun in the Sun

I just returned from an overnight at the New Jersey Shore, one of my favorite getaway destinations. I have written about the shore previously here. It is a short drive from where we live, but I always feel I have traveled so far away when we go. The weather was perfect and we settled ourselves on the […]

Travel Theme: Entertainment

Sitting on the beach can provide a day full of  entertainment without ever having to leave the comfort of your beach chair. The antics of a seagull ransacking a bag left unattended….. water activities…. and of course sand activities…. Travel Theme Entertainment

Black & White Sunday: Summertime

Paula at Lost In Translation said: When we think of summer, we think of it in colours, mostly blue and green, and all those bright and lively colours that can be seen on funny clothes, bathing suits and sun umbrellas, but what does summer look like when it is stripped of colour? Join the challenge and […]

Up In The Air

Yesterday was another beautiful summer day and we decided to head back “down the shore” . We situated ourselves close to the ocean to be able to take in the full breadth of the water and the goings on there. As I looked up into the sky I saw people Parasailing.  Parasailing is an “activity” when […]

Seagull Entertainment

We spent a day at the beach this week. The weather was perfect and we parked ourselves on a patch of sand close to the ocean to be able to take it all in. The seagulls were a constant source of entertainment for me. Flying nearby, fearless of the people around them or just hanging out.The funniest […]
