The Sandcastle Lady

Good friends on the beach make it an even better day, and the weather was perfect! Heather brought her 3 daughters, joining Linda Mouradian , John and Audrey Bewley, and Diane Lombardo .

I do not take these days for granted, I am very thankful to be here in Lewes.
A lot of people came by today, including Giovanni and Jeff. Giovanni took a picture of me to send to my friend Andrea. 💕
David brought his two daughters, Evelyn (7) and Max (5). I had met them last year, and they remembered how to make castles. They built one right next to mine.💕🏰

Evelyn and Max’s Castle they built with their dad

Kids and castles today!
Audrey (6 1/2) and Lilia (5 1/2) came to learn how to build castles, and built a very nice one together, with steps.
I was so happy to see Kailee with her two wonderful kids, Carson (5) and Bryson (2) again! Carson was my favorite on the beach today! She kept checking on my progress, giving compliments on my work, and keeping me company while I built! She and her mom built the best decorated Castle on the beach today!
Two brothers, aged 7 and 4, worked with their grandfather, building a huge castle today!

Audrey and Lilia’s castle – they did a good job on their first steps

There was a brisk on shore breeze today keeping the beach cool as I taught kids and built Castle #26.

I spent a beautiful day on the beach with Linda Mouradian, John and Audrey Bewley today.

After the storm, the castle mound was half there (the back half had gone to the high tide.) My Sandcastle Lady sign had gone with the wind. I told people that were walking up and down the beach to keep an eye out for it.
I built a castle, but this was 12 hours after the storm, and the high tide came up and took the back and half of the front.
I like to make up stories, and hoped that the people in the villages on the back had evacuated before that tide got them!

I am so thankful for these good days on the beach, and will never take them for granted.
I built Castle #23 today, and was very happy to meet Sharon, who came from Milton, and brought her daughter, Lacey, who flew from Texas to Baltimore.

My sister came last night, and was with me today! She carried water, and helped make trees. I taught Cece (4 1/2) and her dad, Eric how to make sand castles. 🏰💕 My tools and Sandcastle molds were lent to kids building sandcastles. 🏰💕 Anita and Barb came to meet me, and said they have been following me for 3 years. 🏰💕
There was a nice onshore breeze as I built my 22nd castle today.

Had a great day on the beach today, teaching some good kids, and meeting wonderful new people!
I took the first picture as the sailboat was passing in the bay, before I finished the sides of the castle, in the second picture.

I had a nice day off yesterday, because of the rain. I started a watercolor painting, did some baking, wrote a letter to my friend, who just turned 96, and took myself out to an early dinner. It was good to be back on the beach, building today!
