a herd of turtles
Crafts bag, book bag, beach bag, boat bag. All packed. So off we go like a herd of turtles, as my mother would say, to a seashore shellshack. To barefoot days in the sand, under an umbrella watching the surf swing by, with my own sweet gang right beside me. To barefoot nights watching the sunset on the bay, playing scrabble, painting rocks, grilling outside, dodging mosquitoes. Just the way I like it (well, not the last part)!
I'll try to stay in touch a little bit if I can- some important events coming up while I am away that I want you to know about. In case it's impossible to post from the island, I set up some auto-publish posts. But you never know what you'll find in the sand- like the $100 bill we found one year! Maybe this time more driftwood, shell shards and a wireless connnection. Okay, another C-note, as my dad would say, wouldn't be so bad either. Happy summer reading and relaxing everyone- wherever you are. xoC
Oh, that sounds heavenly! Enjoy your stay!

I just wanted to say how much I enjoy your pretty blog. There's something comforting and homey about your style, which I really like. So thank you for sharing what you do with all of us who visit here. I hope your visit to the beach is lovely and you find all sorts of pretty (and profitable) treasures!

Have a fabulous time! I love these summer days too!
The driftwood wreath is sooo fun! Did you make it? I will have to start searching for some beach treasures to make my own!

HI Charolotte;
Have a wonderful time with your family. I have just finished the most wonderful book, amazing women, Isable Godin travelled in the 1700 to see her husband that she hadn't seen in 20 years down the Amazon. Un believable It is called:"The Mapmakers Wife" by Robert Whitaker, published by Basic Books.
Best of the summer to you .
