came across this picture from a trip to Mexico in 2017…

I have loved and collected seashells since I was given an abalone shell when I was young…

this store was amazing;-)…

I have lost the main part of my collection… this is a very old picture from when I was a teenager…

I think these shells may have ended up in the garbage years ago;-(…

now I fill the drawers with a collection of more recently purchased pieces…

it was fun to remember the store and my collection…

during the night it rained a few times but there was sun and blue sky this morning… along with a fair bit of wind…

the weather report called for rain later, but when we walked to the beach the water was pretty rough…

once everyone was up and had a simple breakfast we headed out for a day of shore fishing… and checking out resort stores…

although it rained off and on all day we had lots of fun…

particularly as I caught a small Jack and then the daddy caught a much bigger one… I focussed on improving my casting…

we found every boat launch on the highway in two directions and checked out a few spots we’d never been to before…

once we got back to the trailer, we napped and watched videos as the rain started to come down in a much more serious manner, lol…

had burgers for supper and then played board games…

now it is time for bed, with the hope that the rain will stop by morning…

flowers make me happy and I haven’t had any around the house for the last little while…

yesterday I was at the grocery store and picked a bunch up…

I always put them in a seatbelt when I have them in the car… it keeps them upright so they don’t fall over with any sharp turns or quick stops, because we all know I drive like a maniac (not really)…

overnight they were in water and this morning I packed most of them back up to take to work… I did leave a few at home in a vase…

made two bouquets at the office and put mine at my desk…

had to laugh when my colleague came over to see if I was okay, because she knows I like to have flowers around as they help relieve stress… when she saw so many flowers she thought something really big and bad was going on…

she was very happy when I advised that one bunch was a treat for someone else, lol… I was touched that she was worried about me;-)…

had to stop at the store for a few groceries and found some flowers…

flowers really make me happy and putting them into the cart just seemed like the right thing to do…

I always giggle as I clip the bouquet into the seatbelt but it really is a great way to transport them…

going to take them to the office for my desk… will be a lovely treat to have them brighten my space…
