Where did the time go since New Year’s Day? I wrote this post but neglected to post it. Oh well…

I love walking the winter beach.
It is a family custom in son Bryan’s family to walk the beach at low tide on New Year’s Day.
The wind was fierce, and the day was fairly cold in South Carolina terms, but the day was sunny, and the walk was bracing and totally enjoyable.

One activity is to hunt for shark’s teeth in areas left by the falling tide.

One of New Year’s resolutions is to get out to the beach more often than I did this past year.
And, PS…my new boots are awesome! I waded through flooded paths to the beach and through tide pools, and my feet stayed totally warm.
No shark teeth in Iowa! We have 11 + inches of snow! It’s white like teeth but it’s cold and piles in drifts! Yikes! We are headed to the below zero stuff! Another yikes!
I am almost finished with the bookwork. Yippee!
Enjoy the beach!
