Really I just wanted to get those creepy looking bees down the page.
It is early morning in Massachusetts, but the summer sun has been up even longer then I have. It has been fun to visit but before long we will leave for New York City. Last night I made a reservation for a hotel on 42nd Street for tonight. That ensures we will not just breeze through, and who knows, maybe we can find some tickets to a Broadway show. If not, no big deal. I just plan to soak up us some of that city energy. Until next week, you can find me here

Carolina Girl
~~ When you are a Carolina girl, you have to go to the beach at least once a year. It is a must-do. If this Carolina girl doesn't make it, then I feel frustrated, incomplete, like I have entirely missed the fun season of summer. So that is just the way it is, a ritual that must be kept. Any beach along the shores of either Carolina works for me and fulfills the yearning to touch base with Mother Ocean.
~~ Once I heard something like...being at the beach is like sending your mind to the laundry. Maybe so. Watching the sea water arc up into waves, roll forward and dissipate into shallow clear sparkling water does feel like a cleansing experience. Now my Summer 2008 beach fix is over, but the time there and the ritual of mental renewal will keep that yearning at bay for a while.
~~ I am going to put this blog to rest once again because my husband, grandson and I will head up to Vermont and beyond on Thursday July 17. I am going to try to keep a blog of my trip once we get going.

"Roll on...
thou deep and dark blue ocean. Roll.
Ten thousand fleets sweep over thee in vain.
Man marks the earth with ruin;
his control stops with the shore..."
When I look out on the great ocean I think of that poem that I learned in college; however what seemed true in Lord Byron's day does not hold true now. Today, washed up with the shells, seaweed, sea rocks, and coral were plastic bottles, rubber hair bands, lighters, rusty metals, and other of man's debris. How much will our carelessness ruin the ocean, I wonder.
