Sarah – Sherry – Ella and Debby –

Visiting for Spring break!

They joined us for a long weekend –

BROADWAY ON THE BEACH!

Broadway at the Beach – Myrtle Beach, S.C.

We had decent weather –

In the mid 60’s –

Full sun – shorts weather.

We also made it to the beach –

OIB- so they could walk and look for shells!

Ella and Sarah –

walking in the surf.

Sarah – Ella and Debby.

After Spring Break –

Sarah goes back for her senior year in H.S. ( she has now graduated and will attend V.C.U.)

Ella went back to student teaching in college ( her senior year and has graduated)

It was a good time –

The sun sets on this Spring break for the Seniors!

But the future holds many more visits.

Thanks for reading –

Papa’s World – Vareen Gardens with Maddy and Kendrick.

/ Tom / Leave a comment

Maddy and Kendrick came for a visit in Feb.

Kendrick has been in training

for his new job in Ga.

And will be assigned when he is done.

Maddy came down from Lake Holiday after her workday was done.

We had asked her what she wanted to do the most before she left.

She replied –

“Let’s go to the walking path where we hung seashells from the trees”!

She remembered that from when we took her there on one of her visits.

VAREEN GARDENS sits just across the border from N.C. into S.C.

The many walkways over the marsh to get to the ICW.

Kendrick and Maddy –

Stopping to see the marsh while walking toward the ICW!

Maddy and Kendrick –

Posing in front of this tree that we have captured to grandkids in other photos!

Sherry joined them –

It was in the mid 60’s –

partial sunshine and a little wind.

The ICW as the clouds begin to cover the sun.

The casino boat passes on its way out to the ocean –

Here on the ICW!

Maddy got her wish of showing Kendrick the ICW –

The seashells –

and making a wish and hanging them from a tree!

SEA SHELLS – we have almost every type – when we built this house

and were just minutes from the Ocean and beach –

SHELL HUNTING became a way of life for her!

So “YES” – she is grateful that we can do this every day if we wish!

This is the only spot around the house we did not have stones put on top of!

It is a mixture of sea shells – starfish – oysters – mollusks –

Sort of the overflow area where shells come to rest! LOL

Even at sunrise she walks and looks in the surf for shells!

Walking the beaches – wading in the surf and we were told that APRIL is the month down here –

for finding the large CONCH SHELLS!

And as per the locals – they were so right!

Here on the right is one day in April – finding shells and the conch shells!

She separates them – we now have so many that they are on the ledges on the front porch!

Since I took these pictures –

we have found many more and they are around the Live Oak Tree on the stones in the front yard!

Hunting shells – using them in art to paint – she showed a group how to do this in the community!

Next – she is working on the art of the shells for the book club!

Our neighbor Diane made this out of shells and driftwood she found on the beach!

SHERRY HAS A “SHELL” COLLECTION – PAPA’S WORLD!

Papa’s World – Collecting Sea Shells for decorations!

/ Tom / Leave a comment

Our granddaughter Ella combed the beach in search of Sea Shells to paint and decorate.

She and her sister – Sarah and her mother Debby – spent her Spring Break with us.

Here is Sarah – the youngest granddaughter of the Myers family – looking for Sea Shells to paint!

Her mother Debby is behind her also looking for shells, it was around 60 degrees –

and later in the week moved into the 70s.

All three on the edge of the water – later in the week – Ella took a COLD PLUNGE in the water!

Ella’s shells were decorated – and she added a few more after this.

The above two pictures are Sarah’s shells – note the intricate designs!
