I wanted to paint a picture today

Posted on January 27, 2012 by Seashell

B is for Beach

Posted on January 20, 2012 by Seashell

Avon has beautiful beaches.  Actually, on the ocean side, it’s one, long, beautiful beach.  On the bay side, they are broken up some by bulkheads at the end of residential roads. The beaches on the sound side aren’t used too … Continue reading →

A is for Avon

Posted on January 18, 2012 by Seashell

Avon, the place I want to spend the rest of my life.  A small, quaint, fishing village.  It’s beautiful, laid back, and friendly. Willow absolutely loves Avon.  She would rather be running on the beach than to be anywhere else.  … Continue reading →
