OMG, I am so sorry I haven't blogged in so long! The holidays really got me into a lazy funk for a little while. But I'm back! And lazier than ever. No, just kidding. I have been trying to get up earlier while still maintaining a life of leisure. I received lots of Christmas gifts that are helping with Leisure Society. I got a few embroidery books, embroidery floss and hoops, an amazingly cute tiny paper cutter, just to rattle off a few. I got a great book called The Cure For Anything Is Salt Water, How I Threw My Life Overboard and Found Happiness At Sea by Mary South. It's an amazing, inspiring book by a woman who walked away from a big job in publishing, sold her house, and bought a 30 ton steel trawler boat. She took a short course in seamanship and set out on a journey from Florida to Maine with her 2 dogs and a classmate. As you may or may not know, my true home is the ocean so I absolutely loved the book. She braves storms, running aground, near-accidents, and comes through a first rate captain. As it says in the book, "Smooth seas do not make skillful sailors."
The pics above are of the lighthouse in CT that I grew up looking at. The kiddies are my niece and nephew on their first sailing trip. Ah, to be at sea.
