empty benches

empty.benches

I cannot believe I live so close to the beach and rarely go. It's a crime. Even with multiple applications of sunblock, I always miss something. Like my nose, ears, or shoulders. I cannot trust myself! To go to the beach! I wish I weren't so prone to sunburn, or that a new study would come out with results like sunburns are actually good for you. Well, until that's published, I must remain a safe distance from the bikini lifestyle.

I've had the best day of all time, and it's only 3:00 in the afternoon.

Slowly starting to pack a suitcase for a trip home -- one more grandparent gone to a better place.

Thinking of you with love.

I never went often enough either, but it is so beautiful when you do go.. maybe going infrequently keeps it special?

I'm sorry for the reason for your travels.

So sorry, sweetheart.

I am sorry about the death of your grandparent. My grandmother just died last month, right before Christmas. I feel for you and wish you the best.
