My first thought this morning was that it's daughter Barbara's birthday. So I called her & wished her well. I'm so proud of her! She lives life in a very good way.
A knock on my door turned out to be the Fed Ex guy with my new credit card. I said "man am I glad to see you!" My bank, USAA (United Services Automobile Association) has had my business since 1969 & they have been & remain the best in banking & insurance. My new card was here in just 2 days with no hassle. They truly live their motto, "We know what it means to serve."
The air was cool, the sky was blue so I headed for the beach again. It was windy, but not as bad as yesterday. Found an oyster bar near the beach & ordered 1/2 dozen on the half shell. While eating the 5th one, I found I had a little pearl in my mouth. It's about the size of a BB & almost perfectly round. The bar maid was more excited than I was. She told everyone in the place & people were coming by to see it. I took it as a good sign.
A long walk on the beach was very windy & felt very good. There were pieces of sand dollar everywhere. And they reminded of going to the beach with my mom. She would walk gently through the water, finding them with her feet. Then she would pick them up with her toes. The big one & the next were like pinchers. Literally! More than once she would pinch me my friends just to see us jump. Then she would laugh really big & so would we.
I found another cool looking shell with a little sea urchin inside. I'm not sure what the bigger one is called, but they sure are pretty. The water was so rough I don't see how any shells made it to shore in one piece. There were white caps out there.
Dinner with the Sierra's was lots of fun & the food was wonderful, thanks to Luis. He's truly a master host & chef. We talked about my return with lots of enthusiasm. Until then, back to one day at a time.
Since St. George's is so isolated, I may not have wireless Internet. If that's the case, I'll keep notes & catch up when I get back to cyberspace once again. Until then, faithful followers, bon voyage!

The pictures of Siesta Key are beautiful. What a prize to find a sea urchin intact. I walked the beach when we were there last and it was wonderful but unfortunately I walked too far and sent my MS into a tizzy but it passed and after some rest I was good as new.Safe and happy travels. luv Nancy
