Christmas on the Beach!



Yup! That's a Christmas tree on the beach. 


Yes, those are snowmen costumes and of course lots of Santa and elf hats. 



Charlie pitched in and helped cook the hot dogs and meat.  
It was breezy (windy) and nippy (chilly) For our Christmas feast.



That's Patti pictured below our central hostess,(possibly the only shot of her sitting still all day) she and her daughter of equal ambition are the spearheads of this awesome feat.  So much decorating and food! 
They also had a treasure chest fort he kids in cars or walking by with their parents. Each were invited to pick out a toy and some candy.  And EVERYONE driving or walking by was invited to come have their photo taken with the Frosties and the tree. Gosh, there must have been a dozen people that got their pics done in the couple hours I was there.  Its a nice surprise for lots of the people visiting on vacation and us because they tell where they are from and we get to share the Christmas cheer.




I had to do a potty run so I snagged a great pic of our party from the upper deck of the sea wall. We were a merry crowd. 



You can see some of the Frosties below and everyone waving to cars driving by. 



All that sea air and sunshine (not to mention great food) really takes the zippyness right out of a person! Napping is required at the end of the day.



Patti and her daughter are already making plans and taking notes on things to add to the festivities next year. You Go Girls!!

Yup! You guessed it the cat place, where you can drink your drinks, munch your snacks and pet cats the whole time, or if your like me you sit and watch the cats the whole time.  Tori was of course in her glory, petting a smooching cats everywhere.  Each of the cats have a pink or blue ribbon on them identifying them as male or female and with their name so you can look them up on a paper, that is on a table in the room, so you can tell how old they are.  I did find it very interesting watching the different cats interact with each other and us. They have little treats you can buy to entice them to come to you to be petted.  Tori was like this practically the whole time, this is her "happy place," amongst cats. Goodness she can go on and on about the virtues of each cat and she only met them once. This cat below is my kind of cat, wonderful to be seen but not touched. White, I like a white cat with a touch of black. They have "cat walks," u

I love the trailing days of fall, the light is different and the air feels just right. It always amazes me how the sun casts such a different kind of lighting onto the trees and other green thing this time of year almost like a spotlight but not harsh or hot.  I had a wonderful crop of raspberries just enough for a couple handfuls each day they were fun to watch progressing over the summer. At one point I had a scare. Some of the raspberry bushes got some kind of grub egg in them, I forget the name now but it lays an egg somehow that causes the top 3 inches or so to wilt. I googled it and got directions on how the save the plant and I think  I caught it in time. PHEW  I The garden as a whole is wonderful, a wild but productive place.  We have this one pretty maple tree in our backyard but unfortunately it may go next year we need the space to plant some fruit trees. I hate to cut trees but they grow like mad here.  I’ll leave you with my b
