This picture represents a four-decade plus of friends we have had during our 42-plus years of marriage.

Count your friends on one hand?

We would need two hands plus our feet to count all that we consider close friends!

These are the longest in that count.

Blessings to our life together have come in many ways – this is but one of them!

We have five grandchildren – FIVE girls and one Boy!

Today – the three oldest are adults –

Maddy – Ella and Sarah.

The three youngest are 14 – 14 and 10 – Taylor- Cassidy and Bode.

Being far away – they come down and we go back to where they live.

Another blessing in our life.

A picture of Ocean Isle Beach – in ten minutes we can be here from our house on the mainland –

crossing over the ICW!

In the middle of this picture is the park on the island.

From mid-May to the end of September –

Live open-air concerts are held free of charge.

Many different groups will take donations from the crowd –

supporting many area volunteer activities.

Free will offerings are a way to support their missions.

Sunset Beach is the other barrier island here –

And it is five more minutes away.

That also has free concerts that we attend.

Sunset Beach is Wednesday nights and OIB is Friday nights.

That is one “WHY” we moved her in 2021.

The “BEACH LIFE” – retirement dream!

Another blessing in our lives!

Have a sense of “HUMOR”! LOL!

A “GOOD THOUGHT” for the day!

WHO IS YOUR PURPLE?

Reach out – stay in touch – they are your PURPLE MARBLE in your life!

My hope is that today I will bring some “PICTURES” – “THOUGHTS” and “HUMOR” –

to start your day –
