the ocean calls




We're off to the ocean for a few days. The temperature is dropping down into the 80's and I can't wait to get my feet on the damp evening sands.


We are just about to leave ~ are almost on our way with dogs in the back of the car, the license plate game beginning, at the ready to stop for any fruit-stand.


In my bag to bring are a few pablo neruda and mary oliver books, my newly thrifted red linen pants, a new striped tee (I feel very french riviera), my Moleskine, a few favorite pens and a packet of assorted teabags. Just the core essentials.

This sounds just lovely. And - sort of on a tangent - it reminds me of a shirt that I coveted for years. I saw a girl in the mall once wearing a t-shirt from American Eagle that read, "Sounds of oceans soothe my soul." I searched high and low for that shirt, on eBay, everywhere but I was never able to find it. :)

I hope your soul becomes at least somewhat soothed.

You sound very French Riviera. Wishing you a wonderful and and peaceful time.

(Once I saw a license plate from HI. I stopped my long-running game after that; I figured nothing could top it. ;)

i love the thought of you and tim tucked into the car with the dogs, playing the license plate game and stopping for fruit stands. all the best parts of a road trip. :)

wishing you a wonderful time at the shore.
