Thinking of summertime ;-)

Hiya Capricorn! Oh it was so cool to see in person......taller than a house! We walked around it several times and kept noticing new things in the artwork each time around

Another marvelous island to visit is North cyprus. very beautiful with ancient history. Nice beach, flying boat cruise and opportunity to meet a lot of tourist all over the world.

wow those pics wonderful sand art some very very good artists at work

Thank you Virgo! Hardly recognized you without all the hair! Much better.....in my opinion

Oh I have been good angel......its been a crazy 6 months but I'm still alive and well, thank you. How are you?

Well Bamako, can't say I've ever been there ....but I will most certainly put it on my "to do" list, in hopes that I get around to it

Aj I'm kind of unpredictable like that .......i like to be full of surprises lol. That is some beautiful work there...I really like how they added the color. Kinda makes me want to go to the beach and do some artwork of my own.....when the snow melts lol

Agreed red....the amount of detail and imagination put into it was absolutely amazing!

Ah z....I decided that that particular band just wasn't for me. It was a long commute weekly out of state for practice and with my kids and gas cost, it just really made it to difficult....I sing at local clubs still....but no more travelling for this music star

Well, being a musician of the vocal chords, rather than an instrument, no gear is necessary.....I just bring me..and my Tahoe is an 800 car, not 500 ....and if the gigs were just a bit closer, I wouldn't mind so much.....to fill my gas tank, it costs me 100 USD (about 6-7 hours worth of driving) ....most gigs now pay 100-200, depending on the location

Oh....for the gas? Yes, I believe it.....see, for here its expensive but as I've been informed from others in different countries....mostly in Europe, it is much more expensive elsewhere.....I also try to consider average salary when I think about expenses such as gas, foods, clothing, taxes, etc.....every country is different

Oh johnny believe me when I tell you this.....it was all made from sand..
if I can find the video, ill post it. We were there and they had games kind of like "I Spy" where we had to find certain things and creatures within the sand art. It was the coolest!

Nah angel I don't mind the heat.....gets too hot and we can just jump in some cool water and still enjoy the weather.....gets cold and there's nowhere to run but in our homes for heat and suffer from cabin fever lol

Ok, well I'm having a hard time putting a video in the comments from my cell, so here's a time lapsed video of the work done on this sand castle

Iotaoo, glad to be of assistance in jogging a vary valuable memory

Lol if ya can't make it, fake it right?

Iotaoo, I certainly didn't create the sandcastle, the artist name is Ed Jarette. ...I'm an artist on canvas....never went to school for it...my personal belief is that there is skills and there is talent. Skills are learned through education and talent is something you're born with....Art is a talent. I've seen people who draw stick figures goto school to learn artistic "skills" and finish still making stick figures whereas I've seen people who've never gotten an artistic "education" and their talent exceeds the end results of the other's schooling. .....if that makes any sense.

Lol angel

Red it is wonderful to see you back
I hope all is well is with you ?

Yes serenity, I'm back.....but all is good, I'm back to being red again so there's no confusion with two serenitys on the blogs

Hi Red ,
I am so glad all is well with you
I don't think there was ever any confusion between us ,especially for all who know us us for a long time ---you were the American "Serenity" and I am the Irish one
Difference is , you are an amazing singer ,,,I am not

Bahh don't sell your self short....you may sound better than what you perceive. Many times I hate how I sound but others around me don't know the difference. Its all in how you look at it

Hah well of course I'll be your friend
