beach baby, beach baby, Bry in the sand.

I went to the beach yesterday. Seaside, OR.

And it was a good day.

I took my newly finished summer bag, which I made for less than $1.00 in supplies.

A little bit of thread, some striped fabric (used half a yard which cost me $0.50), and some blue fabric which is actually a piece of curtain I kept after hemming MK's IKEA curtains.

I embraced my inner Scarlett O'Hara and Maria (Von Trapp) and sewed the curtains into a purse.

While we were gone ALL DAY LONG, the poor dogs stayed home. Luckily, my friend AE came over to let the pups out of the kennels to play and rest and recover from life behind bars.

Clearly, Mondo is very excited to be left home alone.

I can't imagine his look a week from today when I leave him to go to Montana for six days.

And now I am off to the river. This time, Mondo gets to go, too. Because it is hot, yo!
