    Has it been 5 days or so since I've been on?  I've been without my laptop because the battery died - didn't realize that it really won't work without a battery, and you can't just go to Circuit City and buy a new one.  I have one now tho so just wanted to make sure everyone is well.

    Wings.  So great to see you.  My Mom side is from the east coast and I love those Smokey's.

    Faith.  Glad your back is cooperating and I can feel your smile.

    Foots.  Loves and iced teas by the boat loads to you.  I hope you are feeling good.

    Margaret.  Bummer on the battery.  Glad you got it fixed. 

    Spar.  I can picture you dancing with dh.  I love that picture.

    Jaz.  Your answers to the Wednesday five are great.  Especially about the fire flies.

    As a child I did the same thing in my grandparents front yard on the east coast.

    I would chase the fire flies while their little backsides lit up and try to catch them in a jar.

    Never did.  They are truly magic aren't they.

    I remember those hot muggy nights.  Little Nat's that would get in our eyes.

    Lightning storms that scared me so much.  The humidity.  Oh that humidity.

    I love those memories.

    Janny.  Welcome home.  Your trip was so much fun to read about.

    Lisa.  I always love a boat.  Boats are also magical.

    ZZZZZZZZZZZ Sweetest dreams.

    am going to venture upstairs to my studio this morning...... take a deep breath & see if I can get started again.....

    keep the gorgous visuals coming........ recharges my battery.

    hugs to each and every

    Good Morning Jewels of the Beach!

    *

    I had the sweet luxury of sleeping in a few extra minutes this morning.

    I am a morning person.  Early morning.  I love the newness of the day.

    All things possible.  The quiet before the buzz of the day begins.

    Faith.  Have fun upstairs.  Be careful K.  We may be having a swim competition

    and you are one of the front runners.  Baby your back.

    Jaz babes.  Great song.  We have green acres here cuz of assorted farm girls

    plus the acres of ocean blues due to all our Beach Babes.

    We are so lucky to have both.

    Spar.  Your ideas for today are superb.  I love the library.  Librarians.  Books.

    There is one book I hope to buy today to read and will let you know if it's any good.

    We should share book fav's with each other.  What do you think?

    Tea and toast in the beach garden being served as we speak.

    FootsDeb.  I hope your day today is beachie keen and a feel good day in every way.

    Fresh lemon for your iced tea today Foots.

    To all our Beach Babes.  Hello.  I wish all good things.   And hope Mother Nature

    gets it all under control.

    *

    Tea and Toast for a morning pick me up.

    *

    I'm supposed to go with my girl friends today to see "The Dark Knight"

    We are hoping by going on a Thursday. Mid-day. We will be able to see it

    minus a zillion teens. 

    We shall see how it goes.  If the line is long.  We are outa there.

    We are patient.

    Beach Book Review.

    This is a GOOD one.  You will enjoy to the inth degree. 

    *

    Description
    The landlocked mermaid is a symbol of the contemporary woman, trapped in a paradoxical dilemma of being part worldly and domesticated, part untamable and intuitive.

    In A Survival Guide for Landlocked Mermaids, artist Margot Datz sees the she-nymph within, struggling to emerge, and in a swirl of whimsical and witty wisdom.

    Datz's beautifully painted, contemporary mermaids are caught in the nets of their own comical dilemmas, circling the heart's fishbowl of romantic longings and in the murky depths of deep emotion.

    Whether it's the value of cultivating an inner water garden or coping with crow's feet

    and fish tails, Datz offers advice and an enchanting way of hydrating your weary mermaid soul.

    Coy, sweetly mischievous, this is a book that,

    like a good glass of wine, can be enjoyed multiple times, sipped on,

    or downed in one reading.

    I hope you will pick it up and enjoy it sister Mermaids.

    A happy pop thru to let you know that I have been upstairs in my studio and playing with fabric for a couple of hours. I think I may have had the break-thru that's eluded me for months. It's so exciting to return to this project -- even at such a slow speed.

    Felt the need to come down for that tea and toast -- with fresh squeezed lemon.

    I get such a sense of support from our beach keeners. Thank you.

    ****Oh and my DH got my blog connected directly to my website!!! That's a major step forward on the professional/technological front.

    huggies and no buggies to each and every!!

    let's kick up our collective heels in recognition of the blessings we share together:

    Good afternoon Beach Angels.  Well, another workday done and tomorrow is Friday.  Its so very hot here that its just miserable to be outside for long.  Thank goodness for air conditioning.

    I hope everyone had a fantabulous day.  Well, going to run and get some household chores started.  See ya on the other side.

    Wings, yes we have heard of the Dragon's Tail.  Hubby wants to ride that someday.  Sorry I haven't checked in.  Work has been from hell this week.  I am so jealous that you got to ride the Dragon!!!  We only got as far south as Otter Creek, on the Parkway, and then on to Natural Bridge.  We were camped too far north.  We have the motorhome, so we don't need the motel room.  We have the bathroom in the camper, lol!  That is the most important thing.

    We just loved VA.  For those that live there, you are very lucky.

    I haven't checked in here for days, so I have no idea what is going on.  I just want to say hello to all my beach bum buddies!

    Jaz does that iced tea ever look tasty and thirst quenching.

    Faith.  LOVE the socks.  So cheery.  Shoes are fun too.

    Spar.  Ditto on the Babeeze in diapers.  So cute.

    We saw "The Dark Knight" today.  Christian Bale is so delicious I can hardly stand it.

    The movie didn't disappoint and must be seen on the large screen.

    Maggie Gyllenhaal replaced Katie Holmes thank goodness as the female lead.

    Maggie G. is skies above Holmes as an actor. 

    Poor Heath.  Left this world too soon.  He did a great job as the joker.

    But it's Batman himself Christian Bale that runs the show.

    Time to make dinner but wanted to let you know how it was and say Hi to all.

    I'm retiring to my beach house and make some of that iced tea.

    XOXO.

    Dear Beach Friends, I found out I will be losing my medical the end of this month. And will get 10 dollars in food a month on disability. I was not too happy  when I told the lady I knew people that are working and getting full help. I still haven't got my full lymphedema suit and it was oked. The lady that measured me told me they never payed her last year, I called them up and was she told me I can get it and guess what!  I get so tired of fighting for help. I know it will be hard but I can do it.  I got the wheelchair (no front ramp or car holder) But I can make it. I have to be like my friends and stay strong. I love my fruits and tea, Lets go have a hug party, To make the day end on a happy note. Take care, Angel Hugs Debbie ( Life is good, But with friends its great)

    Dear Beach Friends, Thanks for caring, Sahalie, I do drive but not alot. I have no wheelchair holder and so like today I drove and walked with a cane and I am very swollen and sore. My goal is to stay ahead of these health problems and win. But ever once in awhile I get tired of fighting them and friends that say they will help. Everyone here is so caring, Thanks, Take care, Debbie

    PS I have taxi scrip and metro disablity pass if neededInnocentI just want to get things going!

    Good morning all!! Shifting into a higher gear, when possible. So good to see our biker babes both checking in and pictures, too!!

    Spar I love the line dance of babbbbbeez in their diapers. I think that's the image I have every night as I go off to sleep....... LOL

    Footie: insurance and benefits seldom make sense to me...... perhaps you can rest for a bit and then get some spit and vinegar and go back to fighting for yourself. Persevere in spite of it all. Come here for hugs when you need them -- and go back at the fight. We're all here cheering for you.

    Sahalie: always love your contributions, whether they come as words or images. Thanks for that book review of the mermaids. Is it nationally distributed? Thought maybe I could find it in time for my flight out to NH on Sun.

    My sister's family from GA is traveling here (OH) for the iminant passing of her BIL due to cancer. This is the same family where my niece's life is in such turmoil. It will be great to see them, but the circumstances are so very sad. They were to have ventured this weekend to FL to tell my parents of my neice's storry -- so that has been postponed indefinately.

    Must go stretch my back and then upstairs to my studio!!! I actually got off of square one yesterday. WHOOOOOOHOOOOOOOO.

    Jasmine: a great big Friday hug to you. BTW: congrats on losing those 5 pounds. I'm so proud of you for making some noticeable progress!! I intend to follow in your footsteps.

    Lisa: those liquid refreshments were spot on.

    Margo: glad that your computer's functioning again. Mine is acting blinky. Too many emails!

    Shrink: delighted on your delight.

    Deborye, nEEsie, Susan, summer, Candie and anyone else reading along: happy Friday.
