...he loves me, he loves me "KNOT"??!

...I know, I know

that's soooo "knot" funny!!!

LOL!

oh!

I suppose I need to show you this

in order for you to be able to understand any of this "knotsense"

yes, it's true

I have a thing for knots!!

very random, I know,

and believe me

the others on the Pacifica Pier that day

thought I was absolutely "knots" too

okay, okay, I promise to stop with the knot so funny puns

oooppppssss

I did it again

but I pinky swear

last time!!!

yep,

there I was

bending over like a foreign tourist

(I know you've seen them too!!)

taking photos of the planks at the beach pier!!

mind you ~

 this was a very

l--------o---------n----------g

pier

in my photographic haze

I thought I heard someone say ~

"Hey! Crazy tourist camera woman,

What are you doing??"

I turned around...

thinking it may have been someone from the local paper
that maybe wanted to use some of my carefully taken knot shots!!

hhhmmmmmm...
no one but my love
was standing there
donning
  THE biggest, orneriest grin he could muster!!

he totally denied saying it

but

I KNOW it was him!!!

he was lookin`

kinda how these vintage sock monkeys were 

at the local antique shop earlier that day!

just look at them ~

  lined up,
all quilty

like they are up to no good!!

Well...I still think wood knots are absolutely fascinating!!

and these have been weathered, worn and walked on

to the perfect degree...

if they could only whisper their stories...

oh what a tale it would be,

of that I am sure!!

later, 

we headed to the actual beach!!

ahhhhhh

the sea breeze blowing through our hair,

the sea saltiness upon our tongue

(that could have also been the saltwater taffy!!)

the gritty sand beneath our feet...

so off we went,

with our picnic basket and beach blanket in hand

a few 42 steps down

 

whooooaaa there nellie!

wait just one cotton` pickin`minute!

What's this?

now,

I must inject here ~

I believe it is my God given, motherly duty

to read ALL signage posted

ANYWHERE that I traverse with my children!

but let's say if it's just hubby and I

well then, all caution is thrown to the wind!

 

are you kidding????

High Heels????

Roller Skates??

the fact that this even needed addressed was a little worrisome to me!

and no dear ones,

this is NOT my sandal!

I just wonder if the owner ditched lost it coming up,

or going down!

I do think about these things you know!!

LOL!!

anyhoo

so there we were

all happy...

on the beach

just chit-chatting away 

unsuspectingly like

...

when

see that wave behind us

as you might have guessed

it tagged us!!

HOW FUNNY!!

and the best part was

I got a seaweed wrap!!

(I hear they are very skin softening)

HA!HA!!

my sons facial expression pretty much sums the experience all up!

 say what??

let's just say

after that refreshing splash

the salty sea did "knot" see our backsides again!!

(my bad?!)

al least on that afternoon!!!

here's to salty sea surprises!
