You Know You Are a Sea Glass Lover When..........

Ashley and Alexis at sunset on the Bay - The girls love running along the surf, picking up strange sea creatures and tossing rocks into the water...oh, to be a kid again --- You know it's going to be a great hunt when you first get down by the water and your gaze takes in thousands of shells, pebbles, rocks and tucked between it all sea glass. This is what you see as far as your eyes will go --- The walk begins, but the Papillons want to scamper quicker than you care to go. I've resigned myself to the fact that Amber and Aspen are leading this walk for now. That's perfectly okay because they'll tire quickly and I can take my time on the return to get all the sea glass my pockets will hold. I cannot believe it!!! Turqoise, green, pottery, yikes....this is too much fun. You know you've become a discriminate sea glass lover when you pass up the shiny, clear glass - toss it back into the bay --- continue on looking for the frosted versions...Yep, it happened to me today. I guess now I can join the ranks of a "real" sea glass hunter. All these tourists soaking up the sun and walking along the shore and they're passing up these jewels of nature. I look ahead and notice beachcombers leaning down and picking up treasures. What could they possible be doing? I get closer and closer and nonchalantly check their bags (with just a little sideways glance) --- Whew!!! Full of oyster shells....What a relief...the sea glass is still there waiting for me as I reach down and scoop it up. On the way home we pull up to Nana's for just a minute and there on a car roof is the prettiest cat perched as if to say, "I'm guarding the neighborhood....you got a problem with that?" Alexis informs us that the cat's name is Axle --- One of her many friends she visits while at Nana & Papa's....The day is over and I can report that the find for today included 77 pieces --- 2 of the 77 were pottery shards and one was an interesting shell.
