And that brings us to mid-January, 2012 ......
It is now Wed night Jan 18th,,, but let me rewind a few days to Sunday, January 15, 2012. Low Tide was at 6:50 am. I was on the beach by 9am for a lil Seashell hunt. It is COLD outside finally in Coastal Georgia! Around 34 last night.. High of mid-50s today. It was around 40 and WINDY at the beach when I was searching for Treasure. The key = LAYERS!
I spent the day shopping Saturday. I am behind on posting pics of my Shopping Finds! I have added a few below. I found a Vintage Pair of Cowboy Boots. Black with Red White inlay. ($24) I have decided to use them as decor on top the Blue China cabinet rather than wear them! They are CUTE!!
I also found a Cobalt Creamer at Goodwill on Wilmington Island for 39 cents. AND YES! IT IS FIESTAWARE! Could not get home fast enough to google and compare my photo to website photos. There is no FIESTA logo on the bottom but that is common on some pieces. WHAT A FIND.. Valued $16 - $22. WOOHOO!
MY SWEET LOLA! She is STILL abroad.. presently in OXFORD England having the time of her 22 year old life! God I miss my child!! GOOD NEWS! Rebooked my ticket that I didn't use in November and I am headed to the UNITED KINGDOM March 15 - March 26th. What better way to spend ST PATTY'S DAY!! I even bought Green Boots for the Celebration.
We plan to do the old favs in London (V&A Museum, Hampton Court, Buckingham Palace), also BATH (one of my fav cities in the world) and STONEHENGE (have not seen it). We also plan to go to WALES for a day or two! I CANNOT WAIT TO TRAVEL with my LOGAN again! There is no better Travel Partner!!
Logan's 23rd Birthday in NOW! Jan 19 (It is now the 19th in UK) HAPPY BIRTHDAY BABY GIRL!!

NEW YEARS in THUNDERBOLT! Is it really 2012??!
So the new year came (and went)... My very dear friend, Alisa, (aka fellow Truthseeker,, long story) came to visit me at my Lil Blue Cottage! We ate, we laughed, we went to the beach, we drank, and we TALKED and TALKED! THANK YOU ALISA for coming to see me!!!
Guinness Book of World Records people were at TYBEE as the locals set a record! THE BIGGEST GATHERING of PEOPLE in SWIMCAPS! Approx 2500 people and they broke the record. After they broke the record, they all headed into the Ocean for THE POLAR BEAR PLUNGE 2012!! A GREAT WAY TO START THE NEW YEAR!
