A Day at the Beach~




 

 Dear Friends,

Thank you, as always, for your sweet comments and friendship; AnnaMarie tells me that her quilt is ALMOST ready for its portrait!
Yesterday was Mr. Graham's day off, so we decided to visit one of the nearby lakes that offers swimming and boating.
Needless to say, it was a big hit, and Frankie and Evangeline have been clamoring to go back soon! Even though we live about as far away from the ocean as we can get, we are thankful to be able to enjoy the water and sand close to home (although of course without the salty air and gulls!).


Frankie says, "You can never be too safe!"
May you have a blessed day, however you spend it.

Love,

Marqueta

  3. Ohhh ~ so glad you have a lovely lake to take a dip in! (I prefer fresh water to salty anyday ~ I grew up on a farm with a river running thru it. Now I live on a salty bay. Always interesting but prefer to swim in the fresh water.)
    And how nice that Mr. Graham could join in the fun, too!
    Stay cool!

  4. Looks like a fabulous watering hole and very refreshing...It is so hot here the water in the pool is like jacuzzi temp it must be 90 to 100 degrees. That lake looks like it would be the perfect place to cool off ~Cute pictures Love Heather

  5. That sparkly water shot is amazing! And I'm so glad that you raised Frankie with an understanding of safety. I have a prediction. He will grow up to be a flight attendant! ;)

    Blessings, Debbie

  8. It looks like your family had a lovely time! We have not had too much beach weather around here...in fact it feels like fall is just around the corner.

    Blessings!

  12. My Dear Friend Marqueta,

    Looks like a wonderful time! I would love to get my hands on Miss Button Nose and give her a big hug. What a cutie pie! But they all are.

    Your comment about the hobo spider -- I have heard of them. They are very poisonous aren't they? And not as "heard of" as they should be. I am glad you do not have them where you are. The big scare here is the brown recluse.

    Well, gotta run. Love you!
