Spring is Here!

Which means summer is just around the corner. Which means I have three months before I will be sitting on the beach in San Sebastian. Yikes! Growing up in Southern California I was never a beach bum - although we lived a stone's throw from the beach - I always thought I was too white for the beach. I would get there, eat the picnic and be ready to head home. JZ's family is the opposite - they spend every day on the beach - "What? You don't want to spend five hours at the beach today ??" I always plan to work on a bit of a tan before we leave for the summer holiday - but it never really sinks in. I arrive on the Bay of Biscay - white as the morning light - and try to sit calmly on the beach - for at least the first day...then I am off to find the old souvenir store with a basement filled with turn of the last century stock....

Wonderful painting by Samantha French - see more of her beauties here.

    I'm with you...I would rather be hunting for the treasure on land than near the sea!
    Also, I received the bracelet kit and have had so many fingers, young and old,touching my blue treasures. Thank you, it is beautiful!
