LETTERED OLIVES were fascinating to watch on the beach this weekend as they etched letters in the sand for me to decipher their code. I\u00a0unscrambled the letters and\u00a0pieced them together (I’m crazy about those games!). Can you believe they said “i Love Shelling”? LOL\u00a0All of these lines in the sand in the next photo are live OLIVES.<\/p>\n

This is the close up of one of the OLIVES trying to communicate with me. (heehee)<\/p>\n

The tide was so low this weekend (-0.6) from the full moon that seashells, BEACH BLING, and the sea life were exposed for all to see.<\/p>\n

The live SAND DOLLARS were everywhere…<\/p>\n

\"live<\/a><\/p>\n

\u00a0Just to make sure everybody remembers this, I’m quoting again from my April 7 post<\/a><\/strong> “Since there are so many live shells on the beaches right now, I just want to make sure you know that you can\u2019t take any live shells, SAND DOLLARS, STARFISH and such. You should gently put it back where you found it or in deeper waters. Lots of people don\u2019t know how to tell if a sand dollar is alive or not. Here\u2019s the deal\u2026 if a SAND DOLLAR is brown and looks a little \u201cfurry\u201d, that means it is happy and healthy so we need to let it live a long time \u2026..so it can breed! This is what live SAND DOLLARS look like. See that \u201cfur\u201d? Those are his feet AND how he breathes. Cool, huh?”<\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0This was my best find from the weekend. A big honkin perfect ALPHABET CONE! (notice I still have on my “spiritual line<\/a><\/strong>“)<\/p>\n

\"alphabet<\/a><\/p>\n

My friends Dick and Mary<\/strong> <\/a>found this huge HORSE CONCH! It’s laying on a \u00a0men’s size flip flop to show how big it is…A whopper!<\/p>\n

\"horse<\/a><\/p>\n

But the winners for the weekend are Daron and Susan who just moved to Sanibel<\/a><\/strong>! Now this is a house warming gift! A JUNONIA! Congratulations!!!<\/p>\n

\"Daron<\/a><\/p>\n

\u00a0We also met some gals getting together in Sanibel for their college reunion and \u00a0to find a place to refresh their passions and find the meaning of life. This is Linda, Bev, Carla, Evanne, Dana and Peg…<\/p>\n

\"sanibel<\/a><\/p>\n

“Eat Pray Love” comes to Sanibel! LOL Right after I talked to these gals, this boy raced back and forth on the sand bar furthest from the shore like he was running on top of the water.\u00a0Exhilarated.\u00a0Free. Alone. Stopping every once in a while to examine a shell or some sort of SEA LIFE … then under the full moon, he started his race again.<\/p>\n
