The Sand Painting. The Final Goodby 2010
Every year (for the past three years) when we have gone to California to visit, we find a beautiful beach where we can make a very special sand painting. At the time Andrea and I did this one we were slightly frantic as we knew we just had to do this for Sharon. We needed to find a beach just one more time to make the perfect sand painting for her. Bless her Jim and my David, they took us over and over to places, and in the end . . we went to three beaches . . and none of them were right this year. . .and we were disheartened.
We had nearly given up . . . and then . . . we found the perfect place . . . this is a bit different from what we have done the last two years, but it felt good and right . . . and we were happy.
MARCH 21, 2011 Our beautiful sister, Sharon, passed March 21, 2011. It was so hard, and we all think of her so often. | Date(s): November. Album by Jacqueline. 1 - 18 of 18 Total. 3491 Visits. |

It was so cold and windy. I don't know how those parasailers (?) could stand being n that cold water. But they were surely having a grand time.
