Stitching at the Beach

This is becoming an annual event. 26 ladies for a 4 day stitching retreat.
 Much good companionship and the best weather this weekend ever!
I took many more pictures outside from our walks on the beach. There 
were 2 ways to get to the beach from our rented house. Up the stairs
and down the 130 stairs, or all the way down and around the hill.
I went on long walks every day and feel great!

Down the 130 stairs! My daughter Tracy with whom I had a great visit!
