black and white Wednesday - seashells, sand and sun

'My life is like a stroll upon the beach,

as near the ocean's edge I can go.'

~ Thoreau

Sunlight shimmering.

Seagulls flying overhead.

Soul is now serene.

~ Sherri Smith

'As the ocean is never full of water, so is the heart never full of love.'

~ unknown

'I have heard the mermaids singing, each to each.'

~ T.S. Eliot

Three of life's treasures,

seashells, sand and sun.

My seashell collector Grace. Her mommy was too as a little girl.

'Why does the ocean rock the moon to sleep every night?

So the sun will wake and kiss the beach.'

~ J. Henson

'Happiness is a summer breeze,

sand between your toes, and your best friend by your side.'

~ unknown

There's always something special about spending an afternoon by the ocean.

The sound of the waves, smell of the salt air and feeling the sand beneath my feet

are a little piece of heaven to me.

It's almost hard to believe we were there 10 days ago.

We came home with so many wonderful memories.

And it's no surprise that just as the mommies are friends,

so are our daughters.
The little girls hit it off fabulously!

Natalie and Grace.

It's black and white Wednesday at The Long Road to China.

Happy Wednesday,

 Spring is finally here

where we live!
