I am the oddball (in so many ways). I hate Florida. I am not a beach person. I will tolerate it when I go to France, and used to go every year to visit my grandparents but otherwise, I avoid the sand and the surf.
But one thing draws me to a place as hot as Hades...and that's my granddaughter.
I'm going to be disconnected from the blogosphere for a few days. But, I hope to get a little writing done, as well as some reading. (I got the newest Jodi Picoult/Samantha van Leer book, Between the Lines, and was curious, so I read the last line before buying it, since Picoult's daughter had come up with the last line before they even started writing the book.)
Keep your fingers crossed that 3 gallon-sized jugs of sunscreen will be adequate. Otherwise, I'll be known as "Lobster Lady" when I get back to St. Louis...
Be sure to take your writing t-shirt so you can fish in some comments from random folks you encounter.
ReplyDeleteIs that work of art some kind of magical turtle?
Have a wonderful time, and let me know what you think of the book.
ReplyDeleteIf you was a real friend, you'd come and read my new poem first. ;-)
What a lovely photo of your granddaughter.
ReplyDeleteHope you have a safe trip--and stay cool.
Yeah - she looks like she's worth the trip. It's probably colder in Florida than St. Louis now, anyway. Enjoy!!!
ReplyDeleteHave a marvelous time!
ReplyDeleteOh your granddaughter is a doll and ahem...Navarre is my favorite place in Florida. Have fun.
ReplyDeleteYour granddaughter is a cutie and no wonder you're willing to head to some place hot, although it can't be hotter than here in St. Louis! I like that you read the last line first... don't tell me because I'm going to read it too.
