Two days ago J and I were driving down the A1A and we saw a bumper sticker that said: “I ( heart) Sea Beans!” I said to my main man—I have never heard of sea beans, maybe we should look for some when we go to the grocery store, I’d like to try them!!! Does anyone know what sea beans are???
Well—we found out today! And weren’t we surprised!! They are actually things that wash up to shore, like sea glass, or shells, or sand dollars! There are hundreds of different kinds of sea beans, and they all have names! Some bigger, some smaller, but all are referred to as Sea Beans.
Jerry and I went to an Art Fair at Lori Wilson Park today. It wasn’t very large, and there weren’t many people there, but there were a couple of artists that had jewelry made out of Sea Glass. One of these exhibitors also had a bowl full of different kinds of Sea Beans!! She gave us a great history lesson about things that wash to shore and that can actually be identified with names, dates, and locations!!! She gave me a “Hamburger Sea Bean. It is named that because it does actually look like a hamburger, but it is only about the size of a quarter!
It is very hard, but very light weight!! Anyway, now I know what Sea Beans are, but I guess I won’t be eating them anytime in the near future!!! LOL
That is the end of todays Cocoa Beach history lesson. Not EVERYTHING we do here involves tequila, you know!!! OK, time to go get changes, after all, it is Saturday night—Party On Dude!

So we would haqve seemed like the crazy folks if we went to Publix and asked for a pound of sea beans. Good thing we stopped at the art fair. Okay time for a vodka.
