Hello from Texas and your beautiful shells.

[@sashimicat9105]

Sharmon, the highlight of my Sundays! One thing you can tell people when you tell them to leave live shells at the beach is that they can take a few pictures of them before they put them carefully back so they have the visual memory of the shell and critter while leaving it at its home.

Yes, I'll be comparing all hurricanes to Ian. That's all we talk about down here and we're all checking to see what the surge was with Ian to know if we need to worry about this storm. I think we'll be okay but it's going to be a nail biter!

Back in the day when I was in grade school our school would hold an annual fair in the gymnasium. All kinds of games and fun things to do, snacks to buy .. even a dunk tank for those who had a good arm and a dead-eye. I always loved the "fishing hole" ... a high counter-like structure that was painted and decorated to look like a dock. For 10 cents you were given a fishing pole with a diaper pin as a hook. You'd toss the line over the counter and shortly your line would tug and you'd pull up a small paper bag with your prize inside. So where am I going with all this? lol ... every time I see you blindly scoop into the surf to see what comes up it reminds me to the "fishing hole" at the school fair.

[@SWFBeachLife]

When I was a kid back in the day, I remember going to some sort of fair-type event and there was a woman wearing a huge hoop skirt. There were pockets all over the entire skirt and for a fee, you could give her the money and pick a prize from a pocket. Clearly I didn't get what I wanted because this only happened once and I still remember I was disappointed 😂

[@Bev-c8k]

Thanks for the beach walk. You have no idea how much I needed the serenity of that tonight. After 5 days of shelling in NC, we arrived at our Englewood FL place last night. We are a mile from the ocean in evacuation zone A so tomorrow we will evacuate to our son’s home inland from Tampa. I remember my dismay when I viewed all the destruction at our place a couple of days after Ian. I pray that Milton will be much kinder to us. At 72, I am not sure I am up to fixing it again. We built quite a few homes ourselves in our younger years so we know how to do almost every task in regards to building, but I not sure I am up to doing it again. The days, weeks, and months of physical work after Ian were so physically difficult and mentally exhausting that the thought of doing it again overwhelms me. 🙏🏼 for everyone in Milton’s path.

[@SWFBeachLife]

We had a lot of clean up after Ian too and that is probably why I'm so anxious myself. I'm hoping that the storm will weaken but I know all this rain and surge has to go somewhere. I hope you make out okay and you stay safe with this one 🙏🏼

You did a wonderful job of finding beautiful shells to share this week. I am hoping that Milton has even less effect there than Helene, but like you I have no control over where it causes havoc. My daughter in central Florida says the grocery shelves are already slim pickings. I have not been out this weekend to see if my area is acting the same. I am just glad I don't live on waterfront property, there is a huge drainage ditch behind my fence and are utilities are all underground!! Stay safe Sharmon!!

Our son who is at a much higher elevation than we are and is inland from Tampa says that many of the stations there are out of gas. We have a full tank and are headed there tomorrow. They have made the grocery run and have solar with Tesla batteries for power enough to last a few days. Stay safe!

Hi Sharmon! Great video. It was good to watch this week. I missed last week because my other senior beagle, Pandy, crossed over the rainbow bridge last Saturday night and I didn't do a lot of things I normally do. Felt like I got run over by a bus. Thank goodness I have my white lab puppy Mr. Knightley. But this video was lovely and I'm so thankful your area didn't get a hard hit from Helene. I'm praying Milton stays out of your way. As far as my favs go, I have to say I was completely stunned by that fighting conch with the double rows of knobs. Also, I have a thing for paper figs and I gasped when you found that big one. Other favs were the golden olive, that darker nutmeg, the big lightning whelk, the light alphabet cone and the gaudy Nautica with the dark tiger stripes (not to forget that larger horse conch). Have a blessed week, my friend. Thanks for all you do.

I gave them space, hate when people walk up to me while shelling so waited until they got in their boat and left. So went past the beach area to where the older gentleman was shelling in the open area of mangroves and found my second beautiful full Junonia by a mangrove stump. I tell people don’t think that someone shelling in front of you will get everything. 😂
