A Discovery Day

Monday was a good recovery day from all our vacation (which was at our own house, but vacation none the less). We got back into our routines and even found some time outside. Here is a list of other things we found that day:

• A Jellyfish Graveyard


• A dehumidifier for the basement (on a shelf at WalMart)


• Sea Glass


• Elise's missing clothes (mixed in with Joseph's in his room)


• This quote I liked in the book I'm reading:

"he had expected neither to walk on pavements of gold, nor to lie on beds of roses; if he had had any such exalted expectation, he would not have prospered. He had expected labour, and he found it, and did it and made the best of it. In this, his prosperity consisted." -A Tale of Two Cities by Charles Dickens

• A package in the mail


• An inflatable wheel sent by my mother to my children and now affectionately known as "the hamster wheel"


• A huge horseshoe crab


• Someone's discarded tennis shoe


• Joseph's missing flip flops (on a beach two rock climbs over)


• A shovel (the beach between ours and the flip flops)


• That the hammock stand I finally found was out of stock :(
