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.

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.
