Did anyone like the song new soul?????

sahalie

Spar.  YOU are Beautiful!  Beautiful. 

Here you are on your wave.  You control it perfectly.  Love your doggie. 

That's where the term "surf dog" comes from.  Your doggie on his board.

Spar Owning it.

Yeah Spar*

sahalie

Spar lost her wave!!!

some places have to surf whether they want to or not

One winged water angel for our angel

spar2

This is how Spar felt after losing that wave

sahalie

It's our newly wed SHRINK shredding her wave.

Shrink says her surfing success can be attributed to a family passion.

Shrink shows us how it's done.

sahalie

I'll have to paddle back and listen to the song. 

I haven't heard it yet.  Between people coming and going here at home and

our surf's up day.  Busy to the max.   Uno momento.

sahalie

ODE to US.

*

I am solo and free,
gliding across the face of a wave
on my quiet flight I am bound only by tiny bubbles
floating up to breathe at the ocean surface.

I am powerful
and at the same time,
powerless as I dance with these wet feet
on mother nature's wet breast.

I feel the shift of her currents,
the swift churning of her ocean floor
she is always moving, never at rest,
a monument of which the waters of the world pour.

Her beautiful colors surround me,
pale to white, as the wave breaks into foam,
leaving me in the wake of crushed seashells,
before leaving me alone.

I carve and the tiny bubbles blend upside down,
slowly turning toward the top,
the foam separates and fades away.
Sun that sparkles all around me,
my soul is free.

I glide my fingertips gently,
along her glistening surface.
Three different shades greet me: blue, aqua and emerald,
embedding me in an ocean dream.

Kicking my board out from beneath me,
I go under and become a part of it all.

So similar to our life's Journey.

SAINT is flying!  Her natural ability is her guiding force.  She is a natural.

Don't worry Saint.  We'll take good care of you.  We'll make Faith proud.

Amazing Saint*  Flying.

sahalie

SoCalLisa told her Library "No Way Today"!  

She hit the surf with a vengeance.  She is showing her splash nature.

Beautiful shred of the wave Lisa.  She's showin us how it's done. 

sahalie

You got it Sige.  So very GLAD you are here.  Welcome!  XOXO

sahalie

MY TURN again*

I feel it.

spar2

Sige, I will share, it is really simple, 1 cup margarine, 2 cups splenda, 3 cups flour, 4 eggs and 1 cup clean club soda, bake about 40 to 45 minutes at 350.  We have it with pineapple or sugarfree fatfree puddings or fresh blueberries.

Surfing is and looks so exciting, wish I could do it in real life.

Saint good to see you posting, can you tell us about yourself?  I'll even go first. Married, 2 kids, 3 grandkids, invasive lobular, ned now for 3 1/2 years, 1 more year on arimidex then who knows what,  1 dog, 1 preg cat, 1 duck and a large fishing pond.  Love to read and love all these ladies on the beach thread.

spar2

LOL I meant clear club soda of course you want it clean also.  Silly me.

spar2

saint

LOL) I was dx'd with stage1 grade3 ILC 11/00...0/27 nodes+... had bIlateral with immediate implant recon & 4 rounds of A/C...dx'd with mets to eyes & bones 4/04 (that is when I found the chatroom)...advanced to lungs 1/07...curently on chemobreak as my body was not recovering between tx's (have had over 30 since 1/07) & feel terrific---even have a bit of hair to protect my dome from sunburn at the beach!!!!!

The avatar is my chemo-pal Alphie the Papillon. I will never understand how I came to end up with him, but he is my best bud, keeps me company & makes me LOL everyday! VERY good karma!

sahalie

Well the thread and "Surfin Friday" was looking so happy. 

Too bad how One word and flu like symptoms come about.

Back out in the water for me. 

Maybe the el problemo can be edited.  Would be nice.  

Anyone got some pepto bismil?

Surfs up. 

sahalie

Thank you Spar.  Most adorable beach babe. 

I love that poem too.  So parallel with everyday life.

Your recipe sounds intriguing.  Maybe I'll get wild and crazy in the kitchen and try it too.

I love cupcakes.  They are like our own little special cakes just for us.

Sige.  What frosting will you use?   Probably chocolate here.   Or the fruit like Spar uses.

*

One for each of us.

Thank you Spar for the recipe.  XOXO

sahalie

Time to really go clean the deck from the Redwood invaders. 

I can't wait for Jasmine and Faith to hurry and wander on to the beach.

Foots too.

Lisa.  Floral babe.

Celia.  You are on my mind kind person.

Amy.  Wondering what the heck.

I need some lunch.  Look what time it is.  Surfing really breaks out the gigoso appetite.

XOXO.
