Our American Thanksgiving
Paul and I celebrated our Canadian Thanksgiving in October with our family, enjoying the traditional turkey dinner. prepared by my sister-in-law. As we are in South Carolina by mid November, we get to celebrate the American Thanksgiving (28 November) as well, with a couple of modifications to our dinner.

 |
| LtoR: Traditional USA green bean casserole and traditional Newfoundland stuffing. (My first time making the green bean casserole and it will be added to my recipe book.) |
 |
| The finished product, served with an ice tea - yummy. |
Paul and I are hoping for many more Thanksgiving celebrations at the beach.

Treasures from the Beach
 |
| Scallop shells are my favourite to collect, especially the red coloured ones |
 |
| Even a piece of seaglass today |
 |
I was so happy to find this sea urchin as they are a different colour than the ones we find at home.
Well, when I got it back to the condo and started to clean out, what I thought was sand inside, I realized that there was a small live crab trapped inside. Being a lover of the ocean and nature, I decided to bring the crab back to the beach, but fearful that it would fall prey to the shorebirds. I tried to free it without breaking the urchin, but I had no luck. After carefully cracking the shell with a pair of kitchen scissors, I put the sea urchin in a plastic bag and set out for the beach.  As soon as I stepped onto the sand, the seagulls swarmed me. How did they know I was carrying something they might eat? I had to scare them away and walk quite a ways north down the beach before I could find a small wet spot to free the crab.
As I walked away I saw a seagull walk toward the area where I released the little crab, but I did not look back as I wanted to think that the little crab was safe.

A Little Beach Time
Last week we had some very nice warm days for January so Paul and I spent a little time on the beach looking for treasures - sharks teeth for him and scallop shells for me. Whether we find a treasure or not, it is always a good day when we share time on the beach.

| It was a little windy so the ocean was creating sea foam |
