Such Is Life

SPRING in JANUARY

The lilacs are budding, the birds are singing and the grass is turning green!  Here I am, at Wasaga Beach last Thursday.  The sand was so powdery and the air was scented with spring, making this experience the most bizarre thing for January in a snowbelt region of Ontario.

Dad took the above picture and I also took one of him as he relaxed in the sand.  It was contagious because all of a sudden a man hollered, "Good for you; right on, buddy!"  We look to the west and see a lady who was also sprawled out on the beach so that her husband could take a picture of her too.  Don't let the gloves deceive you because it was +10C that day and it was a lovely day at the beach with my dad.

Fish Are Friends - Not Food

It was a very beautiful trip to the Dominican with our dad and the others.  The breeze was light, the cocktails flowed, the Caribbean sea sparkled and sun shone continuously.  Our resort was in the natural lagoon of Boca Chica, where the water is the baby-blue, crystal clear color we all dream about when we think 'tropical.'  These memories will always be cherished - Love you dad.

Leaving early in the morning to go to the Dominican Republic for Christmas on the beach.  Wishing everyone a very beautiful holiday and I hope Santa is good to each of you.  Many kisses from Canada tonight and tomorrow.  I will think of you all, as I sip rum from a coconut and twiddle my toes in the powdery, white sand.  Be good or Santa is going to skip your house.  XOX Nighty night!
