The Olympics are Over



Hi Sweet Friends

Wow, it has been a while since I blogged
I attribute that to a few things
1. The heat of summer has gotten to me
2. I'm still struggling with anemia
3. The Olympics has been going and I have been addicted to watching every moment of inspiration that I can. What a joy to root for each and every person who worked so hard to achieve their dream. True commitment and Work Ethic - LOVE

Since I am back on the ol blog
I thought I'd share a fun and crazy fast 60 hour trip



One of my besties and I got in my car and drove West
All because I wanted to do this:


YEP
Put my feet in the Sand


AND
Meet my blog friend Carol from ArtAndSand
And see her cute 'she shed'
Meet her hubby and of course Lulu

I

Sit by the fire and enjoy a delicious meal


Take photos of the ocean crashing against the jetty


See some really cool things along the shore


As well as a few 'oddities'
I should have brought this rock home - too funny


Enjoy a beautiful sunset


Be Rebellious
Do something the sign says NOT to do
Because I could


Put my feet IN the water


And eat things that should be illegal to eat

60 Hours
Great Friends
The Beach
Fabulous!!

I do hope to get around to visit blogs in the next few days

Blessings to all!

  2. I have been reading your blog for a while now and also suffered from anemia a few years ago. After taking supplements and even getting bi-weekly iron shots, my iron levels were still very low. I finally had a doctor offer me an intravenous iron treatment and wow - what a difference that made. I have not been iron deficient for 2 years now. Iario am from Ontario Canada so maybe this treatment is not available where you are ( but its worth every penny if you have to pay for it) Wishing you all the best

  3. Wow, how wonderful that you were able to meet and have a nice time with Carol.

    May you soon be feeling more energetic and back to normal.

    I would have brought that rock home with bits of blue on it. What a prize!

    Have a great day and weekend ~ FlowerLady

  4. Hi Cindy! Welcome back! What a blessing it was for you to have this little get-away! There is nothing like being near the sand and surf to make one feel better and I am soooo looking forward to getting my feet in the water in a couple of weeks. My sis is flying in for Ohio and we are spending a few days (just the two of us) at the beach here in NC! A perfect way to end a long, hot summer, right? Blessings to you!
