Guess it's time for a new picture. Don't have anything new so thought I'd do another beach thing. I took this picture at the beach last September. The sand dollars you buy in the store have been bleached. When they are alive they are green. This one was not alive but still on the beach.

Snow in Westhumble

Carl sent some pictures of the snow in their yard in England. It is very rare to get that much snow over there so hopefully he won't mind if I share a couple of the pictures. Kirsten started out for work but couldn't make it so she parked her car at a pub and walked home.

Brothers

X Box. Big brother can only play on week-ends but little brother isn't about to be left out. There is no battery in his controler, but he hasn't figured that out YET.

Puppy at the park

Today at the park we met Stella. Luke Michael is used to two big dogs, but he loved little Stella and I guess she loved him because as he started petting her, with permission from her owner, Stella got up and walked over and laid her head in his lap.

Beach Visit

Yesterday I got home early from Tamara's which was very nice because Alina and Nick are visiting. The three of us went for a walk on the beach, but they wanted to walk a bit further than I did so I sat on the sand and waited for them to come back. We were walking to the inlet, which is two and a half miles, which means by the time you get back it is a five mile walk. As I sat on the sand a sea gull landed near me and he kept coming closer and closer. I think he was hoping I had some food in my pocket that I would share, but he was out of luck. I got some good pictures though. I include the one with my feet so you can see how close he came to me. We were all bundled up because it has been cold for Florida, however, the wind had died down so we began taking off layers, but it was a beautiful day.

An Elmo Day

Today we had an Elmo day. He had to go with us to the grocery store (actually I guess that was yesterday), but this particular Elmo is rather heavy and awkward. He also talks a lot and if he is laying down he says, "Elmo fell down, please help Elmo up". Today they had a good time together in the rocker that Luke made for Kirsten when she was two. Of course because Elmo is small he kept slipping down and then Luke Michael would call for me saying, "Elmo stuck". He does love his Elmo.

Rock Band

Alina and Nick are here for a week. Yesterday they spent the day at Tamara's since everyone was home for the holiday. It might not be wii, but they sure did enjoy "Rock Band
