A week of Finds

Hello!  Welcome to SHIbuckeye. 

Since we live on island time with no schedule, we seldom know what the day will bring.  This week has been one of "finds" and a busy and fun one.  It started Monday by going to a brunch that combined great food and "finding" both new and old friends.   What started out to be a 10:00 a.m. brunch turned in to an all day affair.  I enjoyed it so much...I forgot to get my camera out! 



Found...drift wood.



 Tuesday was a barefoot in the sand, beach treasure kind of day.  These pictures were taken at Hunting Island State Park where there has been quite a bit of erosion.  That's not a good thing...but the driftwood makes some interesting photos. 

 

Found...beach foam.

Beach foam, also called ocean foam and sea foam, is caused by the combination of  salt, impurities in the ocean and ocean turbulence.  Pretty!



Found...tidal lagoon reflections 



This tidal lagoon is a great fishing spot adjacent to the beach.  Although it's salt water, and alligators are fresh water creatures, I still kept my eyes wide open.  I've yet to meet one of those guys face to face...and that's okay with me.



Found...Eddings Point landing


The ten minute drive home from the beach turned into a little mini adventure.  We found this deep water landing and seafood company and discovered Delamo, a deep water community we didn't know existed.  It should be called Delightful Delamo.  It's a small community with beautiful cottages, great walking and biking roads.  We pulled in the driveway of one with a "For Sale" sign and gorgeous view.   I looked it up on the Internet when we got home.  I think we'll buy it...and another just like it for guests.  With a price tag of 750,000 sounds like a bargain to me!  

Found...great old louver doors

 Wednesday brought more sunshine and another play day.  We put Grace in the car and went in search of thrift and consignment shops.  What fun!  They're everywhere here!  We found a set of old louver doors which we turned into shelves and a butcher block utility table perfect for my baking needs.  Thursday and Friday were spent catching up on errands, building and painting the shelves.  We're some of the local home stores favorite people. 




Found...eye candy!


Today, Saturday, our Buckeye flag is flying and the "whirly" is out.  Now that Ohio State is the #1 team in the nation, we get to watch the game at home.  Go Bucks!!  It is a sunny but brisk 47 in our part of the low country with tomorrow's forecast calling for a temperature back up in the 50's.   Old man winter needs to lighten up!  The fans who will be in the stands at tomorrow's Steeler's game are a hardy bunch.   We'll be watching...after we spend some time with our toes in the sand.  Go Steelers!!


Thanks for stopping by SHIbuckeye.  I hope your week has been full and happy.  Wherever you are...enjoy!
