Papa’s World – Sherry has a “SHELL” collection!

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 – Before the storm – looking for shells!

The day was beautiful in the morning – but later that day a storm was coming!

So – we decided to go to Vareen Gardens – on the state line of N.C and S.C.

Sherry wanted some shells for a project she was doing!

We are so close to two beaches but the shell hunting is better than a few others! Here is our beach – OIB!

Our destination is Vaneer Gardens right along the coast of the ICW – recently on our day with family

on a pontoon boat – we passed right by here!

No shoes – no socks – just shorts – shirts and sandals for wading in the water!

This area is loaded with Oyster Shells and that is what she was looking for – tons of them!

Papa – looking at shells people have signed and some are hung from the tree here!

We found what she needed and then headed back home just as the storm rolled in!

The storm is approaching – thunderstorms here are terrific – lightning – thunder and sometimes downpours!

This day – we enjoyed the early morning beach and then a trip to Vareen Gardens – found shells and returned home and then the storm hit!

PAPA’S WORLD – BEFORE THE STORM – SEARCHING FOR SHELLS at VAREEN GARDENS, LITTLE RIVER-S.C.

Papa’s World – Make a wish – FAMILY JONES!

When we were here with our grand kids – CASSIDY -TAYLOR – BODE – they strung together these shells with all our names on them including MORMOR & PAPA! Each time we return – we can feel them being here!

They began gathering their shells –

We had shown them the shells that the grand kids had hung from the tree!

The shell Taylor hung with her initials – TK – and the month and year!
In the back ground – our grand daughters – Cassidy – shell with her cousins Olivia in the foreground.

They loved doing this – and when other family members come down

we shall do the same!

On the tree – Sherry wrote the names – Taylor – Cassidy – Bode and now Maya and Olivia.
Maya signing her shell.
Olivia signing her shell!

We spent some time here – reading other shells and found one with a date of 1990!

Thank you for reading Papa’s World!

Mother and daughters – Kristie – Maya – Olivia
