Beach Blvd

I was in bed by 8 PM, thinking i was going to watch some Christmas shows.  Well it wasn’t long and i was fast asleep and only got up during the night to potty and then it was back to bed and sleep.  I must of been really exhausted and needed the sleep.

We woke up to beautiful warm temps.  We didn’t do much this morning as we both just wanted to lazy around.  It sprinkled rain a little bit and was overcast.

After lunch we decided to take a ride down Beach Blvd which is only down the street from us. 

WOW .. there are some very nice homes on this block.  The beach is nice across the road from these homes. Although there are no places to park and walk the beach.  Hmmm i wonder if this a private beach for these homes only?  It appears they do not want visitors.
 
We found it strange that these homes have double stairs .. we are curious why they did this.
 
As anywhere there is water there appears to be a shipyard.  This is Ingalls shipbuilding and it’s a very large company.  We’ve been told they employee several thousand and it’s been stated on the news they are going to be laying off around 500 employees soon.  Apparently Mississippi has the 3rd highest unemployment rating at 10.6 percent right now.  Although i have to admit it sure doesn’t show in the area.
  
Of course i couldn’t end my day without finding somewhere to access the beach :))
 
There was some wind and so that meant waves.  We were getting splashed up on the bank from the waves hitting the rocks.  The beach here has a rock edge not like Biloxi and Gulfport.
 
The birds were out enjoying the warm temps.  Of course they were also looking for something to eat.  Sorry i didn’t share.  I have found by experience if you feed these birds they will flock at you and you can get them to leave you alone!!
 
We didn’t park in the prettiest spot but hey it gave us access to walk the beautiful beach they have here.

They were working on the beach, not sure they enjoyed us walking on it but oh well.  I told hubby let them try to run off this handicap women who will use her cane on them. 
  
As you can see it’s a beautiful beach, just a shame it doesn’t have any parking for people to enjoy.  I guess they want it to be one of those beaches you just drive by and enjoy.  Sorry fella’s I'm not a drive by beacher .. I'm a get out and enjoy beach bum and that is exactly what we did. 
 
After we got home it was time to start dinner.  I’m cooking tonight .. YES, it’s true, honestly, I’m truly cooking a meal.  We are have beef steak with potatoes and carrots.  I put the steak in my electric skillet, browned it on each side with some easy O and then  added some water and let it cook for awhile and then added carrots, potatoes and onions and it turned out really good. 

I saw on the news where Texas got snow!  Temps here today were in the mid 70’s and it was an absolutely beautiful day for walking and enjoying the beach.  Were suppose to have some cooler temps move in by Wednesday thanks to the Texas storm.  Please keep your Texas weather i do not want it.
