Life's a Beach
I have made a decision.
I am going to live this summer as if I were on a holiday and living at the beach. Shorts, sandals, loose fitting pants and linen shirts, somehow, whether by tanning or exposure to the actual sun I will do my damnedest to maintain an always lightlt painful sunburn. And I will laugh at every chance I get.
I am considering putting piles of sand by every entrance to my house, so that it is always tracked in, perhaps dumping a cup into the final spin cycle of each wash. The feigning annoyance at having to brush everything off.
It will be a summer of homemade lemonade and freshly brewed iced tea, with mint! I will read paperback novels, filling their pages with sand and damping them so that the covers warp and curl.
I will leave beach bags around the house with huge towels and baggies of clean cold green grapes at the ready, the fridge filled with bottles of cold water.
And I will fall in love with someone, passionately, if just for the summer.
This sounds like a plan.

Oh honey, come visit us in reality sometime soon - you already have piles of sand at each door in your house.

I think this is a marvelous idea! I'm all for 'escape' this summer. I'm thinking "Capri" here; head scarves wrapped tightly framing my aviator sunglasses. One needs to dress appropriately to take on all those curves in the road zooming along on a Vespa.
