an ocean friday favorites

Real short.
Real sweet.
It’s my last full day at the ocean.
I’m loving my time here
but am also looking so forward to going home.

Favorites.

The great company of friends
and a beautiful beach to share it with

Good food
make that amazing food

Dolphin cruises at noon

Beautiful harbors
to stroll along

Morning walks along the beach
collecting shells

Watching the waves crash in with the morning sun
and
writing names in the sand

singing praises in the ocean at night
while gazing up at the stars

Thankful for Hilton Head
Thankful

This is so sweet. I just know you are so anxious to see your loves!!! I’m so happy that you’ve truly tasted rest this week.

Sorry I didn’t get a post together this week. Blame it on the airlines and taking up my time.

I’m so beyond amazed at our coincidental flight!!! God is good to give us that little gift. : ) I’ll be emailing you in a sec.

Great favorites this week. There’s nothing like good friends and the ocean. So excited for you to be able to get some rest. Try not to squeeze for family too hard when you see them 😉

I LOVE the ocean…so peaceful and soothing! I’m your newest follower and I look forward to reading more of your blog and participating in future Friday favorites: fun! 🙂 I’m envious of your big family of 3 girls and 4 boys: how fun. My sister has 8 boys, can you imagine. But her house is always SO fun and I LOVE visiting them!! 🙂

Since there wasn’t a new update I just sat there and watched as the pics of your kids clicked by. Don’t think I realized that you had the 3 girls first then the 4 boys. Fascinating! Each one so special in their own way!
Continuing to lift up prayers!

Beautiful pictures — I could hear and smell the ocean just looking at them. I have a picture of my husband’s name in the sand that I took almost 40 years ago. I caught it just as a wave reached it. Fun memories your post brought.
