Well, we came back into Corpus Christi today for showers, laundry, and electricity. The forecast is for temperatures in the mid-30s; I will want to use our space heater tonight! (Okay, and honestly, after 5 days, we need a shower. SMILES!) It has been misty, rainy, and cloud-covered every day this last week. However, we are on a beach and still having fun volunteering, so all is well. Everyday, Matthew and I walk the beach and collect 3 garbage bags of trash. It generally takes 2-3 hours depending on the concentration of current-deposited litter.
We've picked up some interesting items:
unbroken incandescent light bulbs (4)
toothbrushes (3)
hardhat (1) No, Matt was not allowed to keep it!
scrub brush (1)
flashlight (1)
plastic mouse (1)
deodorant bottles (3)
can of shoe polish (1)
single flip flops (32)
single water bottles (60 plus)
gallon water bottles (20 plus)
2-liter water bottles (20 plus)
globs of wax (?) I know--what the heck?
Obviously, this isn't all we've picked-up; Matt and I have collected over 12 bags so far…
Oh, and Matt earned an "Adopt a Beach" badge!

Matthew has also picked-up two dog-walking jobs. These are, of course, his favorite work opportunities! I will take more photos of Matt's three new canine friends for the next entry…Matt will be the one with the smile!
Wow!!! It's take long time to pick up the collects, it's so cool. Beautiful photos!!! Want see Matt's pictures :)
