The Atlantic Meets Art

Another wonderful evening at the Thursday night Art Walk in Atlantic and Neptune Beach.





We arrived almost too late to really get a parking place and have time to see all the artist's displays, so we headed to the Adele Grage building on 7th for the art exhibited in that location.






Ok, I had an ulterior motive -- my friend and artist, Sharon Westbrook, was displaying her artwork at Adele Grage, and I hadn't seen her work in almost a month as she has been traveling the east coast art festivals. Check this one out!!!!



I grabbed a glass of wine and my new (Reclaim Samsung) camera phone to try out the picture-taking capability (not bad) this artsy evening.



Here we are feeling very small next to Sharon's passionate artwork.



You just gotta love her!

You can check Sharon out at http://www.sharonwestbrook.com/

I need more walls for more of her paintings.....

Enjoy..

Got An Angel on my Shoulder......

Angel Readings..................

Have you heard of them before? I hadn't.

My curious exploring self made an appointment with Carol May when she was in town this weekend to have an ANGEL READING.

I didn't know what to expect, but I knew it would be insightful and an adventure. It was!

Of course, I don't dare tell you all the secrets that we shared :), but I can tell you that she is wonderful and a truly gifted angel herself.

Not a psychic, not a medium, just plain gifted with the ability to share personal angel information.

I loved it and I am inspired that I have a real purpose and am doing the work of angels everyday! Exciting.

If you ever want to try it out, you may contact Carol at lotusgrid@gmail.com.

I have angels watching over me..................thank goodness!

Local Fun!

The best evenings are still the evenings we spend right here in our beaches community.


Frank and I headed out to dinner last night with no real destination. Out of the blue - Frank decided he wanted to try Tama's in Neptune Beach (904-241-0099). A nice change, good food, and right in the heart of what's happening.
I had the Teriyaki Chicken and Frank had a shrimp dish. Presentation was perfect and we were happy.


Off we went for a stroll. To the bar at One Ocean and a little rest on their back patio overlooking the dunes and the ocean. Wonderful sea breeze night!

Heading back, we ended up at Shelby's Outdoor Courtyard where we listened to a great duo, ran into a friend from Newcomer's (Lindsey and Doug) -- then off to Ragtime to hear a more different sound from the Boogie Freaks. Before my ears burst - we did an about face and stopped by Mezza Luna for delicious desserts - mixed fruit cobbler and vanilla ice cream and New York Cheese Cake.


All of that we did within just a few blocks of each other. No doubt about it -- Atlantic and Neptune Beach have it going on!


Trick is to get there early - secure your parking space - and enjoy all that they have to offer. The shops even stay open for our wanderings! Love it.
