Many of you guessed correctly when I posted this picture on last Friday’s Random Five:
My friend, Bev, and I had taken advantage of a fairly warm day to go shelling. Although we use the word “shelling”, in the few months since we began this hobby, in addition to shells, we’ve also found sharks teeth, sea glass, coral and other treasures.
On the day we went last week, we both wore several layers to block the wind. Under my hood, I also had on ear muffs and a sun visor. With my sunglasses on top of my head, the photo brought back memories of “Cousin Itt” on the Addams Family.

Motor Man had some free time that day, so he accompanied us to the beach. He ventured out for a few minutes, but while waiting for us in the truck, he had access to the camera. And I’ve learned that can be dangerous…
This photo of Bev proves that sometimes we get rather serious about our beachcombing.
It just brings to mind, once again, one of my favorite quotes:
“We don’t stop playing because we grow old: we grow old because we stop playing.” ~George Bernard Shaw

YAY I guessed correctly……today will be a good shelling day too. It’s 65 degrees here at 6:30AM!

Loved the cousin IT reference – ha ha!
You clearly enjoy your new hobby and your time with your friend … good stuff 🙂 MJ
Who knows what you all will find? You certainly are finding good times.
And I think today is going to be a good day to “hit” the beach minus the sweatshirt. It’s supposed to be near 80 degrees!!
WONDERFUL!!! This may be the last good day for shelling for awhile. Hope you get to go! The pics make it look like pleasure and seriousness!
Fun pictures Dianna! Sounds like you have good weather today to hit the beach! I have to hit the grocery store.. save me!
Ha ha…”Cousin Itt.” Looks like fun, despite the nip in the air.
I forgot about Cousin Itt until this post, how funny! Fun pictures, Dianna.
Beach combing is good for the soul.
🙂 hope you found some good stuff today!
Cousin Itt… nice ! .. the sunglasses really complete the look !
Oh, you’re way cuter than Cousin Itt! Looks like so much fun and glad MM got the camera. 😉
That is one of my FAVORITE saying!
What a fun post! I hadn’t thought about Cousin It in years.
Looks like a lot to sift through–a treasure waiting to be found. Cousin Itt! Hadn’t thought about that in awhile. 🙂
