At The Beach

Happy Weekend my friends! 

Today is my grandson Michael's

18th birthday.

Where did the time go?

When he was just 2 months old,

we went through a scary surgery

where the surgeon had to open

his intestine to his stomach.

I am not in the medical field, 

but he kept vomiting.

Mom's milk, formula and even special formula,

It was discovered then that the area

between the intestine and stomach was closed shut. 

Three hours later he was on the road to eating.

Eating he did.

He is well over 6 feet tall now.

Works at the local movie theatre,

and will be a senior in school this year.

He is a great artist....wonder where he gets 

that from...LOL

Anyway we are hoping he goes into Graphic design.

Happy Birthday Mikey!

Gramma loves you!

This year we added fun beach themed items

to our gift shop.

I cannot take the credit, as Bob made

the suggestion to do this.

We do have a beach in town,

so he thought folks would walk by on their way

to the beach and purchase these items.

Purchase they did!

Over sized beach towels.

On the deck chair fun ices cream bowls 

with their own spoon.

These were a hit!

The swan and other floaties all sold out.

Polka dot sidewalk chalk all gone.

Sand pails almost gone.

Flamingo and aloha inflatable balls sold.

We carried fun fish sunglasses

and swim goggles for kids. 

You cannot tell in this pic,

but the fabric at the base is tan

to mimic sand.

Rubber duckies all gone.

My granddaughter was able to take one home at least.

Sun visors almost gone.

Fun drink Koozies almost gone.

All of these sipper cups sold too.

We had green/ yellow, purple/ pink

blue/yellow  and pink/orange.

Off to the store now.

Tomorrow after I close,

starts the Halloween decor!

Beach Time Blessings To All!
