I don't know why I have to wait

until I have a number of things to post before I do....
We have been working on our garage. Anyone who knows us, knows how much junk was in there! It was cram packed full with stuff. Toys...Tools....Junk we don't get rid of...even stuff left here when we moved in. J and the boys (mostly) worked hard to clean it out. kill all the rodents, throw out the bad, give away the good....and we made space....
for a wrestling mat. and a few punching, kicking bags. J also got my work area opened up...but I don't have a photo of that yet. maybe soon.

Kaleb is still in wrestling. Districts is this weekend. Regionals next, and State the following. He is very excited for these Tournaments, but I think even more excited for wrestling to be done. He is worn out and ready for a break. We are too!

Kas's last game is tomorrow. She's doing well. learning. she is probably the fastest girl on the team, and it shows on the court. Just like Volleyball, they play with 6th graders who tower over most of the girls. So, we anticipate a great season next year when they have grown a bit! ;)

Today I had a little time to kill, so I went for a walk on the beach. We are dealing with a few stresses right now, and the ocean is very therapeudic. It was a good walk for me. Time to converse with myself and God, clear my head, and get a bit of a workout in.
I usually don't find agates....and while I was conversing with God, I mentioned that, and how nice it would be to find just ONE! I have friends who have tons. I have one friend...Gina...who probably found hundreds--maybe thousands. and I couldn't usually find any. I am not jealous or anything....I think they just know where to look. and I don't.
BUT, anyways, I mentioned that I would appreciate finding just one....and look how many I found! I whole pocketful! they were even good sized! and all different colors. I couldn't believe it! I must say, I felt loved! and that was good timing for me! I kindof needed it this morning.
I also found some sea glass. I love sea glass. Reminds me of a dear friend...Jenn :
This was my whole stash! I still picked up a few ordinary rocks. either cause I couldn't resist....well, because I couldn't resist. some were the color of my wall in the living room,. others were the beautiful red that I love. or an incredible combination!
I don't know why I love rocks so much. Someday I am going to have a rock garden full of the rocks I have hand picked! :)

Collecting rocks is one of my favorite beach things, too! I NEVER found any sea glass, though!
