Sand Never Fails.

So I've been here relaxing at the beach for approximately 2 glorious days now. 

And I would just like to declare that they have in fact been GLORIOUS.

The sun. 

The moon.

The water.

The waves.

The company.

The atmosphere.

The sand...

oh the sand.

Sand never ever fails to annoy the mess out of whoever it touches.

Once you touch it...

YOU'RE DONE FOR.

You can FORGET about ever getting it off.

It gets on absolutely everything.

It's in my hair.

It's on my skin.

It's in my books.

It's on my ipod.

IT IS EVERYWHERE.

But you know I guess that's the beauty of sand...there's so dandgum much of it.

Let's just try to sit and think about how many grains of sand there are on any given beach.

Bored yet?

I am. 

 

Isn't it just so cool that we have a God who can think up something as annoying as sand. 

Okay, sand is uber obnoxious, but it is also pretty helpful at times.

 

1. Sand stops the ocean.  

BOOM.

 

2. Sandy soil is best for certain crops, such as watermelons, peaches and peanuts. 

(all you folks out there with a love for the peanut butter...show some love to the sand.)

 

3. Sand is used to make bricks, mortar, concrete, glass and paint. 

That's a lot of home improvements y'all. 

4. Sandbags. 

Keep you safe from the floods and the guns. 

Multipurpose. 

5. Sand Castles. 

Nuf said. 

 

6. Exfoliate. 

Keep them feet soft and supple.

So I just wanted to give props to my man God for making something totally annoying but completely useful.

That was real clever. 

P.S. I have the final results of my crafting. 

The placemats.

I know you have all been waiting in anticipation.

 

Many many thanks go out to Mrs. Becky Mitchell (my second mother and embroiderer extraordinaire). 

She is the wonderful lady who crafted these bad boys.

I can hardly wait to serve up family dinner on these suckers.

Look out y'all the swank is coming to town.

P.S.S. yes I did copy 85% of those sand things off of wikipedia.

Don't judge.
