This past weekend I got to spend some amazing time at my parents new beach house. My mom and I took off early Saturday morning for Topsail Island on the coast of North Carolina. We spent the morning cleaning the house and then headed out the back door to our beach yard. Yes our back yard at the house is the beach. Gotta love hearing the waves at all times. As we sat, swam, and sunned I began to just enjoy the fact that this was my place. I have always loved the beach and enjoyed going with family, friends, and church groups over the years. Now I have a place that I can go to any time I want, when it is not rented.
I have claimed a room at the house as my own. It is full of light houses. For me I have always thought of light houses as a symbol of God. Lighting our way to the safe places and guiding us on our way.
OK so back to the beach part. On the beach in front of our place is a turtle nest! We will be having baby turtles sometime in the middle of September. Sadly I will not be able to be there. I got a new job last week at a call center doing customer service. I don't have two days in a row off unless I take a day off. So this weekend was my last real vacation for a while. I found out that the crabs will eat the turtle eggs. It made me sad. Then Rocky started chasing the crabs all over the beach. I told him he is now on baby turtle nest security.
Sunday a family friend and our vet brought her kids out and we flew kites. I have not done that since I was probably 8 years old. It was so much fun, but my bright red legs are now telling me I should have reapplied more often. We went to eat and then just hung out the rest of the night. Mom and I headed home around 5 am today. I am going to miss the beach.
