It's never-ending. Drives me bonkers. What a lovely place, your secret place. I am more of a beach-walker myself. If I could walk my dogs on the beach, I'd make them wear sandals - no sand in my car, either. Loch does look like a small college student!Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12573143203599624833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5855162440022875977.post-90088941724271805592011-05-16T06:18:12.611-04:002011-05-16T06:18:12.611-04:00GAH!!!!!!!

No matter, I'll drink to anything.)<br /><br />Papa Pea and I were just talking the other night about how we wish we had taken more time "off" when Chicken Mama was growing up. We always could have done it better, I suppose, but let's face it. When you're raising your kids, it's usually a time in your life when you're trying to establish careers, life styles, and homes. (If it's a homestead with animals, it's even harder.) But I digress. Erin, you and hubby and doin' it right by the boys. They are what are truly important right now.Mama Peahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03649357184167949247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5855162440022875977.post-555947406595042542011-05-15T18:17:56.523-04:002011-05-15T18:17:56.523-04:00Gosh that sounds like a fun day.

I don't know WHY it seems like all of a sudden there are people EVERYWHERE. <br />And if you figure out that "chillin" thing, please let me know. And Mama Pea too. <br />Does this in anyway involve beer?<br />:DSuehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10122524042294993949noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5855162440022875977.post-14828283222115336442011-05-15T15:06:20.192-04:002011-05-15T15:06:20.192-04:00OK, first off...

Parenting classes, indeed LOL... if I was a better mom I'd be sitting in that hot sun letting them pour buckets of wet sand on each other, I can't have that happening in my car! I have to constantly remind myself to chill out, I envy the parents who can let their kids just cut loose sometimes :)<br />***<br />APG, Loch is really good about the trash, and Finn kind of follows suit once he notices there is a "hunt" on!<br />***<br />Jane, it's crazy isn't it? And not just the ocean, it saddens me when I find the same things in the woods or anywhere for that matter, I think all these irresponsible people should be relieved of their careers as well and allow the considerate ones to have them in this economy! But then that would leave the majority of folks jobless, wouldn't it? Oh you got me started LOL! It's just as easy to use less and discard less, and I always wonder what goes through someone's mind when they actively decide to just toss something onto the ground...<br />***<br />Sparkless, Justice of the Peace here, too! We kind of lucked out and got this old guy who did a fantastic job, he was Native American and gave us a neat Indian wedding blessing too, so we ended up getting quite a neat ceremony for the price :)<br />***<br />meems, it is hard to get used to! Don't get me started on having to be quiet during the day in our little open house because he is sleeping LOL! Those crabs you made look delish! My fave is crabcake sandwiches, but I rarely have enough energy to crack and amass that amount of meat in one sitting to make enough!Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06916896512933101955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5855162440022875977.post-6109171907571542472011-05-15T13:46:01.232-04:002011-05-15T13:46:01.232-04:00It's great that you are getting quality time w...It's great that you are getting quality time with the boys. I'm beginning to think you should offer classes on parenting skills.

It's hard to get used to. I'm glad to see that you had a wonderful time at the beach with the family. I also love blue crabs. We like to eat it Chinese style like this. http://nycgardening.blogspot.com/2011/05/plant-exchange-with-my-dad.htmlmeemsnychttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10584936035577822444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5855162440022875977.post-40982142018263509152011-05-15T13:19:53.311-04:002011-05-15T13:19:53.311-04:00That looks like a fantastic beach! Looks like you ...That looks like a fantastic beach! Looks like you all are having wonderful weekends together. My husband worked every weekend when the kids were little and when they were early school. He missed lots of fun.<br />You are so right to enjoy your family time while the kids are still young. It goes so fast.<br />We got married with only a Justice of the Peace and a couple of friends very close to the Pacific Ocean in the rose gardens outside the Parliment buildings. We even had the Premier come down and congratulate us! Ahhh lots of memories.Sparklesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02806553694200529082noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5855162440022875977.post-65540200940394017912011-05-15T13:16:50.278-04:002011-05-15T13:16:50.278-04:00I was recently reading that the Atlantic ocean is ...I was recently reading that the Atlantic ocean is developing a plastic gyre just like the one in the Pacific ocean. It is not as large yet (the pacific one is larger than rhode Island and growing daily) but it is increasing in size as we speak. Why cant people dispose of trash in a responsible way. Or better yet quit making so much damn trash to begin with.Jane @ Hard Work Homesteadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02905658082120445313noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5855162440022875977.post-10049229818885902892011-05-15T13:14:23.855-04:002011-05-15T13:14:23.855-04:00We all have a freak flag of some sort, eh?
