Taking It All In

"Rest is not idleness, and to lie sometimes on the grass on a summer day listening to the murmur of water, or watching the clouds float across the sky, is hardly a waste of time." ~John Lubbock

My Daughter -"That Roving California Girl"

Athena two days before Christmas 2011 surfing Byron Bay, Australia.

"It's always summer somewhere."
-Lily Pulitzer

Athena surfs "Trestles" in Southern California summers past.

You can take the girl out of California but you can't take California out of the girl.

"The West coast has the sunshine

And the girls all get so tanned

I dig a French bikini on Hawaii island

I'm lost by a palm tree in the sand

I been all around this great big world

And I've seen all kinds of girls

Yeah, but I couldn't wait to get back in the states

Back to the cutest girls in the world

I wish they all could be California

I wish they all could be California girls."

May the sun bring you new energy by day may the moon softly restore you by night, may the rain wash away your worries, may the breeze blow new strength into your being, may you walk gently through the world and know its beauty all the days of your life.

An Intoxication Of Sorts

"Summer is the time when one sheds one's tensions with one's clothes, and the right kind of day is jeweled balm for the battered spirit. A few of those days and you can become drunk with the belief that all's right with the world." ~Ada Louise Huxtable

Summers By The Sea

"I wish we could spend July be the sea, browning ourselves and feeling water-weighted hair flow behind us from a dive. I wish our gravest concerns were the summer gnats. I wish we were hungry for hot dogs and dopes, and it would be nice to smell the starch of summer linens and the faint odor of talc in blistering summer bath houses... We could lie in long citoneuse beams of the five o'clock sun on the plage at Juan-les-Pins and hear the sound of the drum and piano being scooped out to sea by the waves." -Zelda Fitzgerald
