Project 2012 - Week 44

Day 301 - Double red flag at the beach this afternoon .... extreme danger ... Sandy is headed towards us.

Day 302 - Wow is all I can say - stay safe everyone!

Day 303 - Thankfully - we survived Hurricane Sandy. We were already scheduled to have our house winterized today and hurricane or not the guys (at least 8 of them) were at our house at 8 am. Not sure what this red flap was for on our kitchen door but it reminded me of the movie "E.T." On a serious note my thoughts and prayers go out to all who were hit hard by Sandy --- I truly count my blessings that Cape Cod was spared.

Day 304 - Hope that everyone had a safe and happy Halloween and to my home state .... Happy Nevada Day!

Day 305 - My soon to be 5 yr old had fun this morning lining up her loot.

The "D" Family ...

I met this beautiful family in August at Corporation Beach in Dennis, MA.  The weather was perfect - I had actually hoped for a little cloud coverage but what can you do?   The girls were adorable to say the least  ...  I'm on a mission now to find beautiful white dresses like theirs for my own girls!
