Hello 2012 and Goodbye to Matunuck Beach....

Pointed in the right direction...the Pacific...really???
Getting ready to be washed away by the rising tide....just like that...gone...
Walking towards Pt. Judith...so beautiful!
And the clouds started rolling in by the time we headed back...still so breathtaking...and today, loud..
Stunning food...there's no other way to describe it...in 2 short years since opening, it has left a lasting impression....
Farming the oysters...we were more fish n' chips ( fries and salad, cole slaw and bread w/ lavender dipping oil...) and muscles ...I can still taste it all...

January 1, 2012....a mild day in the northeast. The sun was out. Jimmy leaves tomorrow, again, for Colorado, now waiting for Edward and I to fill our new home in a couple of weeks. We seized the day (much better than bubble wrap galore and tape), and went to the beach we have loved so much over these past 10 years. We have spent what can only be described as some of the most perfect days of our lives @ the shore. We took the long walk to Pt. Judith...much easier when not wearing winter garb, however, no less beautiful. Along the way we picked up a sizable rock, took it w/ us to Pt. Judith, said a prayer and threw it into the water!! It was a symbol of all that was, and all which is yet to be, as we move out West. C.B. Murray posted a scripture on his Facebook wall which says it all:Link“Thus says the Lord who made it, the Lord who formed it to establish it (the Lord is His name): ‘Call to Me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things, which you do not know.’ Jeremiah 33:2

We were starving after that long walk and had an excellent meal @ the Matunuck Oyster Bar. It was the perfect end to a new beginning. Welcome 2012.....

I can feel both your excitement at a new adventure and your sadness at leaving a place you love so much! Keep your memories and photos close...they will help while you make new memories and take new photos!

Happy New Year my friend may this year bring you peace, love, health and happiness!
