Off to the Beach for the Day

Tomorrow after the morning milking, we're heading off to spend the day at the beach! I just checked the weather and it's going to be sunny with a high of 91-- a perfect beach day.

Taken in Kitty Hawk, NC in 2006 during a lunch break while I was in real estate school

I found the following poem in a coastal decorating magazine and loved it~

Home By The Sea by A.P. Carter

There's a lonely cottage by the sea side
Where the water lillies through the shore
It was there I passed my happy childhood
With a loved one that's gone before

Then give me back my dear old home
That old home by the sea
And I never will wander far away
From my home my dear old cottage home

Many years have passed since there I wandered
But the old cottage has been forgot
And my heart in fancy oft returned
To that dear old familiar spot

Yes my heart is like the humming sea shell
That tells of its birth where ere it roams
I will sing of my cottage by the sea shore
Of my home my dear old cottage home

I hope you enjoy your day at the beach, Meredith! That sounds like what the weather was like when my family went last month. I hope the water is warm enough for ya'll. It was freezing the last day I was there. I get chills just thinking about how cold it was. Brrr! The weather was perfect for the beach, though! Have lots of fun and don't get to much sun! Haha! :)

Love Your Sister In Christ,

Emily

P.S. I just noticed that you have the same blog background as I do. It really is adorable! :)
