[SallyMander]

Just me, you pevs! What were you expecting??? :P

It's just lovely here. Hugs to you all! :hi:

[Dr. Strange]

1. Cool pics!

Although I'd like to hear more of the story:

There once was a pic heavy girl on Nantucket...

[SallyMander]

8. I'll leave it up to you to finish the limerick

I'm sure you're up to the task! :rofl:

:hug:

[Gormy Cuss]

2. Liar!

It's quite obvious that it isn't just you there. Iza and the hermit crab are there too.

Looks like you've had some glorious weather.

[SallyMander]

9. Most of those are actually from last summer

Today was our first day here - it started out lovely and sunny but then turned gray. The forecast looks nice though. :)

The hermit crab and Iza are glad you noticed their presence! :D

:hi:

[Guava Jelly]

3. WOW!

Nice pictures, I'm jealous. :) :hi: You guy's look great btw.
I love the ocean.

[SallyMander]

10. Thanks sweetie!

I love it too - i miss it so much when i'm in Columbus!

:hug:

[NewJeffCT]

4. Nice pictures

The guy in the first pic is a lucky guy, too.

[SallyMander]

11. LOL!

Thanks Jeff. :D :blush:

[bicentennial_baby]

5. Friday night?

Give me a time and a place, baby :loveya:

[SallyMander]

13. Heck yeah!

We haven't figured out yet when we'll be rolling back into town - but probably mid-day, so dinner should be no problem! :bounce:

:hug:

[bicentennial_baby]

19. Fucking awesome...

Just keep me posted sweetie. :bounce:

:hug:

[SallyMander]

23. Iza is a bit obsessed with the Border Cafe

in Harvard Square - not sure how far that is for you. We are totally flexible, we'll figure something out. :7

:woohoo:

[bicentennial_baby]

31. We live on the Red Line, so Harvard Square is totally fine, babe.

:woohoo:

[BrklynLiberal]

6. Great pics. I can smell the salty air...

[SallyMander]

14. I love the salt

except for the salty hairdo. Total disaster. :rofl:

:hi:

[lizziegrace]

7. Beautiful...

:hug:

Oh, and a :hug: for B too.

:loveya:

[SallyMander]

15. Heeeyyyy sweetie!

I just saw Midlo's thread for you - so sweet!!! I am definitely going to pitch in once my paycheck comes. :D

:hug:

:loveya:

[lizziegrace]

17. You've got enough to deal with - you're marrying Iza... :-P

We're definitely coming down the weekend of your reception to move Lelapin into her apartment. (Her father's footing the bill for that trip and her apartment...)

I just ask that you be available for Lelapin if there's an emergency. :hug:

(once a mother, always a mother...)

[SallyMander]

25. I almost spat soda on my computer

:spray:


I'm SO glad we'll get to see you!!! And of course we're happy to help lelapin however we can. :hug: :hug:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

12. My dear SallyMander!

Wow, what great pics!

Such a tranquil scene...

And that sunset...

Wow!

I can smell the salty air and the grasses...

Thank you for sharing!

Hi to Iza!

:hug:

[SallyMander]

18. Thanks Peggy!

You're so welcome, glad you liked the pics! I just love it out here. :D

:hug:

[RetroLounge]

16. Nice!

You guys look totally happy!

Gorgeous pics!

Is the hermit crab (or Iza) trained?

:hi:

RL

[SallyMander]

21. LOL!!!

I can't speak for the hermit crab, but Iza's doing pretty well with the training. Still not as good as Elmo though. :rofl:

:hi:

:hug:

[RetroLounge]

24. You'll get him whipped into shape soon...

His smiles gives him away...

He's close to being housebroken :rofl:

RL

[SallyMander]

28. Yeah, he's a good one

I'm actually totally spoiled. I know how good i've got it. :D

[VenusRising]

20. Aww.

It looks wonderful! I hope you two are having a good time.

Where are the doggies?

:hi::hug::loveya:

[SallyMander]

27. They're snoozing on the floor right now

Simon got his first frolic on the beach last night! :D They had a great time wrestling in the sand.

Hope you're well sweetie!

:hug:

:loveya:

[VenusRising]

46. I hope you took pictures of that crazy puppy.

I bet it was super cute! :loveya:

Things are ok. Not having good luck with my fishies, though.

[SallyMander]

47. Oh noes!

Sorry to hear about that sweetie. I think a lot of fish come in with various diseases... my fish-crazy friend always quarantines his before they go in the big tank. :(

:hug:

[VenusRising]

We do that, too.

One too many bouts with ick taught us our lesson. He was in by himself, so it must have been something with him.

I hate it when my fish die. x(

[SallyMander]

57. Poor fishy!

Nothing you could have done though. :( :hug:

[Xipe Totec]

22. There once was a girl on Nantucket

who loved to pick newts by the bucket

from Columbus, I came

with my groom and a seine

but no newts, so I’m going to Pawtucket!

[SallyMander]

29. I LOVE IT!!!

:rofl: :woohoo: :bounce:

This may be the first time anyone's written a poem about me... :think:


:yourock:

[RevolutionaryActs]

26. Beautiful pictures!

And you two are just too damn adorable!! :loveya:

[SallyMander]

30. Thanks sweetie!

I'm a lucky gal. :D

How are you doing??? :hug:

[SalmonChantedEvening]

32. A sunset. The flora and fauna. The sand and the sea.

And two people so very much in love.

You give joy in ways you cannot know Sally.

My Love to you both and may Blessings Be Yours for all that Life can be.

:hi: :loveya:

[SallyMander]

37. Aww, you just make my day SCE

Thanks so much for the sweet words. :hug:

:loveya:

[tigereye]

33. what a wild looking crustacean - I love his shell.

[SallyMander]

38. He's neat, huh???

He had other little critters living on his shell - crepidula (slipper shells). Really cool. :D

[tigereye]

34. what a wild looking crustacean - I love his shell.

[fizzgig]

[SallyMander]

39. Thanks kagehime!

Hope all is well with you!

:hug:

[TZ]

36. Beautiful pictures.

Love the sunset picture. Love the crab! Were you able to keep from bothing him too much..I'd be all bothering the crab out of curiosity...:D

[SallyMander]

40. We definitely bothered him

I had to wait a while to get a good pic of him... he was just up in his shell, like "leave me alone!" :rofl:

Iza had a good time finding blue crabs too. He's like a little kid on the beach! OK, guess i kind of am too. :D

[GoneOffShore]

41. Brilliant pics!!

What kind of camera are you using?

[SallyMander]

43. Thank you!

I have a new Canon IS-S5 which i just love - but a bunch of those pics were taken with my old Canon Powershot. Not sure of the model. Glad you liked them! :hi:

[ThomCat]

42. I hope you're both having an absolutely awesome, wonderful time.

:)

:hi:

[SallyMander]

44. Thanks TC!

So far we are just having a blast. I'm sure i'll look back in a few weeks and wish it were right now - so i'm trying to enjoy every moment!

:hug:

[redwitch]

45. What a lovely couple!

49. I was on Nantucket for a day this summer.

Got to get back there and get some better shots of that lighthouse, especially at sunrise/sunset.

[SallyMander]

50. Oh, that's a great pic!

The color of the sky is just awesome. :D

[flvegan]

51. No bikini pics?

And I meant you, not Iza (no offense, dude).

[SallyMander]

53. LOL!

Sorry, no, best i can do is a goofy tank-top shot. ;)

This was from a day they closed the beach because of man-o-war invasion!!! :o

[Pierre.Suave]

52. You will do quite nicely

thank you very much...
