I have been going to the same beach since I was a child with my parents. We often go to other beaches, but the August retreat is always at the same beach at the same place. It's like going home. We have so much fun with all of our family together sharing happy times. Grayden and I love long walks on the beach---I can imagine Lake Michigan is lovely ---there is such beauty all around us! Have a lovely day, dear friend. xo ♥The Joy of Home with Martha Ellenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02912198511168813613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7664100447631245881.post-30935293332560610222015-08-10T09:14:01.987-04:002015-08-10T09:14:01.987-04:00Heartfelt sympathy to Grayden and your whole famil...Heartfelt sympathy to Grayden and your whole family, Martha Ellen. Being together in the beauty of nature can be such a healing force. The ocean waves can begin to wash in peace and wash out sadness...<br /><br />Oh, the happy memories made last week, too! Your family photos are wonderful and filled with joy! What a wonderful family tradition you and Grayden have carried on for so long! Do you always gather at the same beach each year? It must be so amazing to spend time at the ocean. We have beautiful beaches along Lake Michigan, but it's not quite the same feeling. I love walking along beaches and treasure the memories of beach walks in so many beautiful places! <br />With sympathy and friendship... ♡Dawn@Petals.Paper.SimpleThymesDawn Y.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07565958992415114053noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7664100447631245881.post-16513356692837739042015-08-10T08:46:24.983-04:002015-08-10T08:46:24.983-04:00Deb, thank you for your kind words.

Even when expected, it is a shock and great sadness. I know you will have many happy memories to look back on, and they really do help us through the sadness.<br />Such lovely photographs of you and your family on the beach. I live very near the beach, and have not been for ages now. I am more of a sit on the rocks, or the cliff tops, person these days, no longer being fond of crowds and sand in my food! All of the benefits, and surrounded by the coastal flowers too! <br />Deb ~~~Rustic Pumpkinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07335714529878600216noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7664100447631245881.post-61653322144158072472015-08-09T22:17:57.306-04:002015-08-09T22:17:57.306-04:00Thank you, Sandra.
