I'm so sad to see the end of summer & life at the beach. My grandkids start school next week & then fall is on the way. Although I love the crisp days & cool nights of Autumn, I'm always so sad to see the carefree days of summer leave us every year. Here are some photos shot at the beachhouse of our dear friends. The surf was up just a bit from hurricane Bill at this spot. It's protected in the bay so the waves were minimal. However, my daughter reported waves at 9-11 feet down in Narragansett where we have our beachhouse. Nantucket & the Vineyard we heard had waves of 16 feet! Yikes!
I think my grandson Cole was planning on burying his sister in the sand.
Gabby & her bff Nicole (Nicole always seems to be in our summer photos!) with Cole the digger.
Worlds cutest baby~Reilly (Her grandma & grandpa own the fabulous beach house on the water)
I caught my hubby in this pose ALL summer long! LOL!
It' almost time to say see ya summer! It was a good one even though it didn't stop raining until August 1st! :)
Summer at the beach.....what a wonderful thing! Love the pictures of the rocks spelling summer!
Hugs,
Penny

There's nothing like having a place by the water! We head to a lake cabin that our daughter owns, and stay Sat. afternoon until Sunday. It's amazing how it sooths the mind to begin a new week. I picked up 2 large Sconce shells a few weeks back at the Thrift shop. They are beautiful! The excitement of finding them was like I had found them on the Sea Shore. I adore them. Only $2 a piece.. One, I'm using as a napkin holder. You fold your napkins in a triangle shape and stick the point of them into the lip of the shell.
I would'nt be so panicked about loosing summer if it weren't for the lovely "Indian Summers" that we usually have here in BC.
Hope you have one too, so you can still spend time at your beach house a little longer.
Hugs,
Jan

As you are heading to Autumn/Fall we are leaving Winter behind and flying into Spring. I am so glad that Spring is just around the corner.

You don't want summer to end and we can't wait for it to end! It's 108 degrees here in the desert and I wish I could astral travel to your beach and see that little pumpkin grandchild in person. What a cutie pie. You have a blessed life. xoxo Amy Arnaz

A 16-feet wave is a surfer's dream! My buddy Michaelson loves going to beaches just because he gets to ride the waves. Me? I just love the sandcastles and sunbathing. Actually, I love anything that lets me unwind and forget about all the stress I get from work.
