WANTED: one beautiful day at the shore;
a good log for sitting; an ocean to roar;
a paper for reading; a bit of a breeze;
a pair of bare feet (hold the sand, if you please);
some driftwood, some shells, and the smell of the sea.
Now cut me a deal. Did I hear you say FREE?!

Sounds great...Sign me up too please!
That is great....I could use one of those days this week!
Okay that's just unnerving--the picture looks freakishly like our grade school's art teacher!
count me in! I miss the beach, and as you know (due to all the twilight phenom here)... our beaches near Forks are c-o-l-d and rainy
Ahhhh, the smell of the ocean! Guaranteed relaxation right there. I still want my bonfire and s'mores. Anyone? Anyone??
I love that picture.
Thanks for tip to take time alone! I have been doing that, what a difference it makes.
Let's meet up for lunch sometime!
Texas isn't THAT big, right?
Have them cut me a deal too! I'm in!
I took some YW to the pool today. 80 degrees, no humidity...perfect for a grown up like me. They whined and complained until I brought them home...they were too cold.
So much for a relaxing perfect day at the pool!
The smell of the ocean and the sound of the waves. Ah. That's why I love No Cal beaches. I can so do without all the sand, however.
Where is that picture from!?
Not sure, Jen. It was a public domain picture I found online. Pretty funny, huh?
=)
So are you planning a beach trip? Your poem sure makes me want to go. In 2 hours I could be to one.
Oh and btw, perfect beach music! I don't know how you coordinate it all, but you do.
I am SO with you! I could use a relaxing day at the beach listening to the waves - sigh....
True happiness, indeed. I think we're due for a beach vacation! Thanks for the reminder how great the beach can be!
Love the photo although I wouldn't let the bird stay on my head.
Cute photo!!!
Sounds like a great time - can I come along too?
Let's go. Meet me at the beach in one hour.
Hard to believe that there are a lot of people in our country who have never seen the ocean. I was so happy when we moved from Idaho to California. I would hate not being able to go to the beach, now that I know how really neat it is. I love listening to the gulls and just letting go. I think it would be hard not to relax if you were that close to the water. Needless to say, we are looking forward to Newport too.
I love this picture. So funny.
HA that photo is too funny!
Actually, Jill, we are having our annual Newport Beach family reunion in July, for a whole week. Can't wait!
=)
PS. I was at Santa Cruz yesterday to get my personal beach fix until the big trip...
Sounds like a deal to me. Hugs
Love it! But bring on the sand to go with the bare feet please. Lovely Sue, as always.
