When Life is a Beach

1. You take time to stop and smell the beach roses.

2. You have a red bike for chasing the sunset from the ocean to the bay.

3. You spend time with your mother and sisters.

4. And your other sister who is missing from the above picture and who wears an H on her hat for Hanover instead of Hull.

5. You wash down fried clams from the Hull Gut Pier with a beer at Joe’s Nautical Bar (with a brother and brother-in-law).

6. You play a game of vacation Scrabble with your cute nephews and have fun even though one comes very close to beating you.

7. When life is a beach your beach-nic cousin and his wife might treat you and your mom to a seafood dinner in a restaurant overlooking the ocean.

8. You get home in time for the sunset.

I wish I were on vacation. I like my new job and all, but it is sort of hectic. xo

Hello Michel, stumbled upon your comment at I Beati's. I'd been meaning to stop by earlier. What is it about blogs from the blue ridge mountains or appalachia. One common thread, I beieve, their hominess. You must visit Appalachian Writers. It's on my bloglist. And BlindPigandtheAcorn. You'll love them! Thank you for letting me set a spell, and it was nice meeting you. :)) Petra
