LIFE'S A BEACH!

I have a feeling it's always a beach day in S California...  sigh...  My GF in New Zealand (north island) is starting to post spring weather reports on Facebook.  She has a luscious flower garden and strawberry patch in the summer.  Sigh again...

Faithie, have a fun trip.

It might have been more exciting if you had been with 25,000 preschoolers!

saw some of my friends today

I don't know if it is a record yet...we shall see

Hey folks!!!  This is my 1,000 th post! I must be a real gabster!  Here is sunset last night from my bedroom balcony looking west.

Let me try this again. This is me and DH saying 'I do' in our back yard by the boat in 2007.

I had never seen this birdie before...

Was liking the birds, not so much the snakes....

Crissy, just love watching the different sea skies...

Barbe, I saw these  birds too

Ahhh, relaxing on the beach in my blue, tummy-control bathing suit, reading a book.  Varadero, Cuba.  Wish I was there now.

It's on my list -- maybe late spring/early summer with a GF -- when the spring break monsters aren't there -- probably go to Holguin, Cuba this time.  I'm also thinking of the Caymans by myself -- Ritz Carleton spa and beach fun.  Trying to convince another GF that you can gamble in the Caribbean (she wants Las Vegas) and go in January.  No matter what, I will be in the ocean, lying on a beach soon!!!

To hell with the cost!! Get your butt down there as quick as you can and give yourself a 2 week break so that if you are cabin-bound again (God forbid) you can live off those memories until next time!

Wow konacat,

I had to do a double take when I saw you mention Varadero, Cuba. 

That's where my Mom grew up.  They lived just a couple of houses down from The Club Nautico until around the time Castro took over!  Left with not much other than the clothes on their back and rebuilt their lives here.

Beautiful beaches there!  I hope to visit one day. 

This little guy enjoyed running around on the beach as much as any of the other dogs.

Barbe, I also see inspiration.  No matter our physical problems we can still find joy in life.  Maybe in a different way than before, maybe we need a little help to find it but it is still there.
