Sand Castles
On Sunday afternoon the Bride-and-Groom-to-be drove up for a short visit. That evening, after a dinner of west coast shrimp bought off the boat, we wandered through the sand sculpture displays in Parksville. They are amazing works of art.
This was my favourite - a little girl reading a book with a world of castles, a knight in shining armour and a dragon behind her. And the words "She lived in a world of her own." That was me. My brother and sister say that their only memories of me as a child involve me with my nose in a book. I think they highly exaggerate, but I did and do love to read. I can easily lose myself for an hour, an afternoon, or an entire day in a book.
Just a bit more than a month until the wedding. Don't they look happy?
And what's more romantic than a stroll along the beach at sunset? My own sweetheart and I enjoyed it just as much as the bridal couple. It's fun to construct castles in the air together, dreaming of what might be.

What a very happy couple!
ReplyDeleteI dont think any of the sandcastles that I used to make ever looked like that!
Ahhh, yes, this was as far as I got awhile ago...interrupted again! I think that it's very wise to show young couples that love can last and grow. Keep on being a good example. Beautiful beach scene!
ReplyDeleteWe'll have to get up there to see those sandcastles. The ones in Harrison are quite fantastic each year too.
ReplyDeleteWhat a good looking couple - not long to go for the big celebration!
They look very happy! The time will be here before you know it.
