overcoming obstacles

Unfortunately, a castle destroyer was here last night. But despite a late start, was able to build something today. Hoping for a better castle tomorrow.

Lots of people on the beach on this beautiful Saturday

A beautiful Saturday on the beach, seeing old friends Conway and Annette; Diane and her daughter Kimberly; and Beanie and Carol Denlinger.. Met some new friends, too – Jenny, a teacher and former lifeguard, who swam out and rescued a young boy who was afraid to come in because of the jellyfish; and Kass, who walked down from the New York Beach. I built a 7th castle today, thanks be to God.

My 7th castle

Monday, 8-11-25. Castle #2.

Talking and teaching today, as much as building the castle!

Today, I met karsyn (4), brother Bryson (1), their mom (Kailee) and grandmom Gigi (Julie) from Georgetown, DE.

Looking forward to 5 weeks of castle building in Lewes, on the Massachusetts Beach.

I will arrive the afternoon of saturday, August 9th (and hope to be building on Sunday, August 10th. I will be there till Friday, September 12th (leaving early Saturday, September 13th.)

I sure hope to see a lot of my old friends from The Market Street beach, as well as new friends I met in the last 2 years on the Massachusetts Street beach. If I have not met you yet, please stop by, and I’d love to meet you!
