BEACH DAY!

One month from today,

we will no longer live across the street from the

ARABIAN SEA.

With that in mind, I decided to take 

SHALLIE

for a long morning walk down the beach yesterday.

We bid good morning 

to our resident camels, who were not quite ready 

to begin their day!

It was even too early for their owners

to be up and moving.

All was quiet around their modest tent!

The beach was almost empty --

the perfect scenario when walking a dog on a

"No Dogs Allowed" beach!

SHALLIE

loved the sand and

was okay with the water....at a distance!

We actually saved lives yesterday morning

on our journey along the sea.

We threw exactly 25 stranded starfish

back into the water!

I'm sure they were thrilled beyond belief that 

we decided to walk the beach!

Aren't you thrilled beyond belief that 
I didn't take pictures of 

all 25 of them?

As we sifted through sea shells and

returned the starfish to the awaiting water,

I couldn't help but think,

"Isn't nature absolutely amazing?"

There's nothing quite as peaceful 

as an empty beach

on a beautiful morning at sunrise!

Several hours later,

I returned to that beach and found it 

filled with people!

It will sure be different living in the Midwest of the 

United States of America

once again.

Indianapolis is a long, long way 

from a beach!

But I can't wait to smell freshly cut grass 

and surround myself with sorely missed family and friends!

HAPPY TGI-TH, everyone!

Here's another video of SHALLIE on the beach!
Sending you all lots of sunshine!
