The ocean is a lure like none other. The waves are intoxicating and calming to my soul. It would be a very strange year indeed without a visit to the ocean. Our family gathers by the ocean every year. It's a wonderful time to enjoy each other and be enveloped by the power and the glory of the ocean.
“You must not lose faith in humanity. Humanity is like an ocean; if a few drops of the ocean are dirty, the ocean does not become dirty.”

The grand's excitement over the ocean reminds me of times with my own cousins when we all gathered at the ocean.
My siblings and I and my parents all piled into our family's car packed to the gills with all that we needed for a fun week at the ocean. It was the highlight of my summers growing up and has continued to be exciting to me. Even though I no longer ride the waves in with my siblings and cousins, I think of those precious times spent long ago.
One of my cousins that I rode many a wave into the shoreline is now in the end stages of MS. He lives by the ocean and I visit with him when we take our annual trek.

We experienced a couple rainy mornings followed by sunshine that allowed us to enjoy making a puzzle supplied by our daughter and son-in-law.
We even sat under the umbrella in the pouring rain. It's not the first time we've done it and Lord willing it won't be the last. We are serious beach lovers. Bocce Ball occupied times in the sunshine and in the rain.
Fireworks over the ocean are especially beautiful in the evening.
The beautiful Green Corn moon lit up the sky as well.
As darkness fell it really took on the likeness of a Harvest Moon.
Our family surely is blessed to spend time together by ocean. Do you enjoy the ocean?
