I could not participate in the Summer Beach Party, but that didn't keep me from being spoiled rotten by the "RAOK BEACH BUM". Nick did such a wonderful job throughout the week and I wanted to share all the goodies with you. So, are you ready????

This background set was a gift from "BeachBum". Isn't it beautiful????

DAY 1
The first day started out with a Caribbean Cruise, yes I said cruise.......look at our cabin and the VIEW!!!!

DAY 2

The second day, we got up early and went on a fishing tour...saw octopus, all sorts of fish and when we saw the shark, we decided to high tail it outta there. But, our Beach Bum saved the day by providing us with a "Summer Survival" game (incidently I scored only 1) and a Puzzle game with a hula dancing gnu. IMAGINE THAT!!!!!

Here are the other gifts he bestowed on us at day's end:

Flowers from Lacey's Garden

A beautiful globe from RAOK

A summer cookie from:

Last but not least, he left us with this cute little Friendship Bear


I'm not a very fancy bear~
I'm rather plain and kind of small.
Even so~
someone who likes you said I should come to call.
You can hide me under a pillow,
or set me on a shelf
And when you feel discouraged,
I will do my best to help.
I'm sitting on my favorite blanket
that I snuggle when I'm sad,
It was a present from my Granny,
made for the days when things seemed bad.
My Granny always told me,
"Life is like this 'ol blanket,
cause if you give the pieces to Jesus,
He'll make a perfect quilt."
Sometimes I don't see a pattern,
and sometimes He seems far away.
That is when I clutch my blanket,
and Pray..and Pray..and Pray.
Though I don't have all the answers
cause I'm just a friendly bear
I've been sent here on this mission
from someone who really cares.
So everytime you see me
please remember this~
The person who sent me to you
keeps you in their thoughts and prayers.
