(May-8-2012) Do you know how fun it is to find things on the beach? A few weeks ago when I was taking my walk, by myself, the beach was deserted and I came across a nearly perfect unbroken sand dollar. I shrieked. What’s that saying? If a tree falls in the forest, does anybody hear it? Anyway, a bit embarrassed at screaming out loud, I looked around really quickly to see if anyone had heard me, thank goodness, no one was around.
Okay, as happens more often than not, I’ve kind of side tracked … because this little “bucket” is about finding unusual things on the beach. We’ve included a picture. You’ll see a purple flag, a plastic bug, and a headless doll (my sister-in-law told me it’s from a McDonald’s Happy Meal). Oh, I think one of the most eccentric things I’ve found so far is the Barbie leg. Yep, just one. As I walked along, I was hoping to find the rest of her, but no. Maybe another time, and of course, there are some things you just don’t want to touch – we won’t mention those. My husband came home the other day with a toothbrush he had found. Unusual, yes, but … I threw it away.
Happy hunting beach combers!
