Hey blogging family ... I thought this sign said it all. SOMETIMES in life we have trials and tribulations and we over think things. .. I came across this sign and it just silenced my inside worry voice and thought >>I got this !!
 
SO what do all Rusty Pearls do ..
THE BEACH !!
 
I went into my 14 year olds room and said GET UP ..Its a mommy and me day ..She ROLLED those 14 teenage eyes.. I am sure you know the ones if you have ever had teenagers.....
 
BUT she was a trooper she got up .. She said where are we going . I said the BEACH ..was cool out ..but I said there are memories to be made...
 

That's us .. WE started here just talking .. Letting her talk as I listened .. Amazing how we think they are just little babies still but after listening they seem almost wise at times.. This is my child that everyone calls an old SOUL ..

 
This picture makes me feel ..sing a joyful noise to the LORD ...It was beautiful to watch her just have fun and be herself and just play ... She was glad that she came ............ I know that I was glad that she had that mommy and me day ...

 
This was me .. In my favorite VANS (yes I am 45) LOL but love those shoes LOL
My inner beach(ness) ...I was sitting on this rocky ledge just checking it all out and Listening
 
The Lord filled me with the sense of being STILL at that moment.
 

I think PINK is my new color... I am loving all things BLUSH pink this week. .Just drawn to it ...
Now I am singing  Aerosmith in my head .. PINK is my favorite color LOL .. any Stephen Tyler old school fans will know that song LOL ........................SURF anyone.. If I had not watched Shark week ... I might surf a little more..NOT that we have HUGE surf or anything ..............


This is my one of my favorite pictures of My daughter... I sat in the back wondering what she was thinking....  or if she was like her mamma and just listening to what the water has to say ....

Has anyone heard of the Christina Perri Song?  I think she is the Artist that sings that song.. I have loved you for a 1000 years... I sing that every time I see the ocean .. I hum it




Okay these are some of my pics too that I will be using on my photo challenge. I have decided to instagram those now ...

This was taken on the porch of the surf shop ..Where Kenzie was getting her fake tattoo.. WHAT ? ? ? yes fake...PICK my battles LOL .. will wash off in two weeks.. LOL .. She said its only fake mom... 


sunset found myself here .. Just being ............mmmm JUST BEING !!!!! Doesn't that remind you of like a Nick Sparks movie or something................LOVE It


 
  I told her that today was a do-over day that I would do it over in a minute .She smiled ..She was really glad to have that mommy and me day (even 14) and all.. I am reminded daily ..MOM I am not a baby ... SHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH don't tell her ..she will always be my baby no matter what she thinks...even when she is 30 ..................
My twins are 25 and they are still my babies ... my son is 23 and he is still my baby ..LOL so this 14 year old might as well FACE it ..............................................She is a hoot !!!!


and that is me .. I went to Curb alerts Luau the other day and HAD FUN ..THUS my cheesy shirt  !!!

I will close with this.. Some girls need lots and lots of diamonds.. I will take a shell ring , the ocean and an unlimited supply of these any day ...................TOODLES ..have a blessed week . thanks for reading ..................................................Sherry

  1. Awe, you are such a fun, involved mom. One day, your daughter will look back on the beach day and thank the Lord for such a special time with you. It's evident how much you cherish your children, as well as your faith.

    XOXO,
    Meredith

    P.S. Oh to have a beach near my home. Oklahoma has...lakes...and puddles. ;)

  3. Great sign, Sherry, and it looks like you had a wonderful memory-making day with your sweet girl. She is a beauty, by the way. I love the big water and it talks to me, too. I don't have the ocean here-only the cold, restless water of Lake Michigan...but it works for me- xo Diana

  4. Beautiful post! I too have grown kids and younger kids so I know how special those one on one days are. We are so alike, give me flip flops and the beach, I'm one happy girl. The sign is perfect too, the battle is in our minds. I have to shift my thinking constantly. My Pastor reminded us on Sunday, there are facts in situations but the TRUTH of what GOD says always trumps the facts. So I choose to think on the truth, not always easy. Hope you guys have a wonderful Easter!

  6. That sounds like such a wonderful day! I know you must have enjoyed spending time with your daughter at your favorite location! Sounds like a nice, peaceful day. Just what the doctor ordered haha.

    I do remember that "Pink" song! I started singing it in my head when you mentioned it. Haven't heard it in forever though! And I do love that Christina Perri song. Sooo pretty!

    You have a beautiful daughter. A true chip off the old block :) Well not "old", but you know what I mean haha!

  8. My girls are grown, but I cherish all the mother/daughter days that we had when they were growing up. I love the mother/daughter days that we have even now...there may not be as many, but they are just as special!! It seems as if they grow up in a blink of an eye.
    Sounds and looks like you had a great day together...that you both will remember forever.
    hugs,

  11. Hi Sherry!
    Thank you so much for the lovely birthday wishes! :D
    I couldn't agree with you more about that quote.. it's so true. And I love how you took the initiative to go to the beach & take all the beauty in. I think we all need to do that more. a lot more. :)
    I'll finish this essay of a comment off by also telling you of how jealous I am that you live so close to such an amazing beach! We Canadians are a bit deprived of pretty beaches... ;)
    take care!

  13. Hi and thankyou for visiting me and for your lovely comments!! Im following you; love your spirit and energy that just radiates from your blog!!! gorgeous pic of your daughter! Here in perth australia, we have a huge shark problem, sharks do worry me when my kids and husband go in the water... so many people have been taken over the past couple of years and i think we are one of the worst places in the world for that! Technology is working on it tho, i think some kind of shark deterrant mechanisms are being developed (non harmful) of course! which is a relief! Hope you have a wonderful day!

  14. Wonderful photo's! I think it is so great that you had a mommy/daughter day! That is so important to keep the lines of communication open.

    PS-My mom thinks that freaky cat in the window is a bobcat too! It's neck does seem a bit muscular for a regular cat doesn't it?? Eek! Following you back sweetie!
