Under the pier the waves are strong.

The tide rolling in.

Stone and I passed ten dolphins on our walk this morning.

After spending some time at Mary's place, we quickly made our way back to our cottage.  We were hungry so I had some shrimp in the refrigerator and quickly roasted them and served them with cocktail sauce, cheese and crackers and a few grapes.  This should remove our hunger until dinner time.

Stone made a stack.  Cracker, cheese, shrimp, cocktail sauce, then topped it off with a grape.  Actually he surprised me by doing this.  He usually doesn't like so much going on.

Stone made a special trip to the grocery just for bread so I could feed the seagulls.

The seagulls can be kind of frighting when they come right at you.
