Bits of This and That - Vacation

 Good Monday Morning.  We had a really nice quiet weekend with beautiful weather.  I just feel so blessed that God has allowed us to have this time together in one of our most favorite places.  We have so many memories here of fun times with hubby's parents and also with our girls.  Of course, it's just hubby and me this trip and I love that too.  No pressures or worries, just relaxing and enjoying each other's company.  

We still have a few more days left and I intend to enjoy every moment.  The weather has changed overnight.  We've mostly been in the 60-70's range this trip, but last night the temperatures dropped alot and it's only 41 degrees right now with a high expected of 59.  But it's sunny and beautiful and I'm pretty sure before the day is over, I'll be out on the beach, even in the cold.  Here's what it looks like from our room this morning.

Cold, but beautiful

Here are a couple of pictures from this past few days. 

We went out to breakfast yesterday for the first time on this trip. 
 I had a great cup of hot chocolate!

Some little birds came to visit me for breakfast on Saturday

We stopped to take a look at this marina and I just had to take a picture of this guy!

We love seeing the marshes.  They are always teeming with birds, although I
don't think there are any in this photo.  lol

Well, that's it for today.  I hope you have a great day.  Take care my friends and thanks for visiting.

Thankful Thursday and Friday SkyWatch

 Today I'm linking with Thankful Thursday right here and with SkyWatch Friday right here:

I'm thankful for the beautiful weather we've been having until today.  Today is very gray and rainy.  I believe this is from Hurricane/Tropical Storm Nicole.  I think it's going to be like this tomorrow too.  But that's okay.  It's given me time to take a nap and read some and now watching Christmas movies.  Of course, I've done some of this most days anyway.

I'm thankful for my new Journaling/Coloring Bible.  I got it off Amazon about a few weeks ago and now because of the weather I have the time to do it.  But, I found out I color about like a 5 year old.  lol  But I'm still enjoying it. 

Here are two pictures for SkyWatch from earlier in the week.

Thanks for visiting and I hope you all have a great rest of your week.

I was down on the beach Monday evening look for sharks teeth.  I don't know who those people are.

Beautiful morning from our balcony on Monday morning.

Love this picture of hubby!

We are having a good vacation, although both of us are fighting sinus issues, but we're still having fun.  Hope you all are doing well and that we all have a good day.  Don't forget to vote (we did before we left for vacation).

Currently - November 2022

I'm participating in this month's Currently blog post. Link up here if you'd like to participate too.  Today we're talking about what we're currently  borrowing, buying, planning and reading.  Here we go.  

Borrowing  

I'm borrowing 2 books from my cousin.  They take place in my town and so far the first one is interesting learning a few things about my town in the process.  I've just started one (mystery) and we'll see how they go from there, when I get back home as I didn't bring them with me.

Buying

Well, right now since we are on vacation, most every meal we are eating out, so we're buying food.  So far my favorite meal, was the seafood gumbo I had on Thursday.  Yummy!

Planning

To spend time on the beach looking for shark's teeth (found 16 so far) and sitting on the balcony watching the ocean and people watching.  This morning is the annual American Heart Association's Horse Ride on the Beach.  Also, planning to check out some area parks and marshes.  I love having such a relaxing vacation with my husband.  We're also watching bunches of Christmas movies in the evenings that we spend in our room.

16 found so far

American Heart Association Horse Ride on the Beach this morning (Saturday)

Reading

I told you about the books I borrowed from my cousin to read when we get back home.  But I brought my Kindle and I happen to have a lot of Christmas books.  I'm currently reading Christmas Belles of Georgia (Romancing America). By the way, this was a freebie on Amazon.  Don't know if it still is or not.

Well, that's what is currently going on in my life.  Thanks for visiting.

Thankful Thursday and SkyWatch Friday

 I know it's Thursday evening...but better late than never.  I'm linking with Thankful Thursday and SkyWatch Friday.

I'm so thankful for:

**Safe travels to South Carolina.  Tuesday was a long day, but God protected us each mile of the way.

**Our beach front room.  I love stepping out on the balcony and seeing the ocean.

**Weather has been great since we got here...not too hot, nor too cold!

**A really good lunch today at Lulu's.  Lulu is Jimmy Buffet's sister and we love this place and will probably eat there a couple times more while here.

My lunch - Seafood Gumbo

Hubby's lunch - Shrimp and Grits

So that's what I'm thankful for this week.  I'll be in and out here for the next few weeks.  Everybody take care.
