Sea and the Sand

I am definetly a sea and sand girl, since it warmed up I have been chomping at the bit to go and walk along the shore, smell the salt water and hear the sea gulls..... It is just not happening! Every weekend that I make plans to go to the beach, IT RAINS!!!! This is simply not fair!

Okay now that I have thrown my tantrum for the morning.. ;)

I have so many memories out there on the sand in Galveston, to see the way that Hurricane Ike tore it apart, and then to see the community come together to once again make their homes habitible touches my heart. Now I wish that we could find a way to clean up our oceans, how is it that you can go just across the water to South Padre Island and see crystal blue waters, yet here at the only beach that the wonderful state of Texas has... it is just Grungy!?! I don't understand why we can put a man on the moon, and not clean the debri and gunk out of the water that brings such joy and makes such beautiful memories for our children. Next time you are walking down a beach take a trash bag and clean up your mess, and the area around you. Make it fun for the kids to clean up the beach with games like whoever gets the most gets to bury their sister in the sand! We only have one world, everything else in it seems to be going to crap, lets try keep at least a portion of something that made many beautiful memories.
