SUNSET ON THE WEST AND THE MOON RISING ON THE EAST!

Good Monday Morning to you my fellow crafters!

I hope you were all able to participate with the World Card Makers Day on Saturday and had fun with whatever you chose to do! I need to check out some of the blogs later to see what you all made! As I was out on the ocean the whole weekend I don't have a card to show today, but I figured I'd share a couple of photos instead. These were taken over the weekend and although not everthing went as planned (generator didn't cooperate so it was a sleepless, hot night on Saturday), we still made the most of the beautiful weather. There were lots of boats out at Elliot Key and many of them stayed the night as we did. It was lovely to be able to look out over the West side of the boat to see the sunset then turn around and look over at the East where the moon was rising! Arjan said that it was the full moon that made things not cooperate with us.....ok honey.....keep thinking that!!! LOL

Yesterday after swimming with the fish for a couple of hours, having a lazy day and a barbecue we set off for a ride on the open ocean to see what we could find. We ended up at Stiltsville to see what was left of it. Back in the 1920's to 1930's apparently there were as many as 27 houses out in Biscayne Bay, now there are only 7 remaining. Most of them were destroyed by hurricanes and the fate of the last ones is still uncertain. There are historians who want to preserve stiltsville but the National Park wants to tear them down, so who knows what will happen to them. It's a little bit of Miami's history, one that was famous for several episodes of Miami Vice and also Bad Boys II.

OK History lesson over for today!!! LOL

Enjoy the rest of your Monday, tomorrow don't forget to check back for Midnight Madness!!

Hugs,

Charlotte
