Do you remember the Candid Camera stunt when Fannie Flagg wore earrings that were tiny fishbowls, each containing a live fish? You and your piranha are channeling her!

I'm with you on the football, as we've discussed. And I will never surf either. Or ski. And I do not care.

Love. Next time I see you I will have to tell you about Dora’s felting projects and how beautifully she took to this strange craft.

I love you. I love your words and your rants and your not rants.

I keep dreaming about the water. Rivers, oceans, lakes. Obviously my head is an aquarium too. Instead of the piranha, though, I think I have baby nurse sharks attached to my ears in plastic bags. They are desperate to get out and find something to nurse.

It's okay if you never learn to surf. Embroidery is good too.

Who needs surfing when you have books and embroidery!

Beautiful, the image of one’s head as an aquarium. The embroidery sounds fabulous, please let us see it when you’re done.

How much do I love this!

I wish I could do so many things, like get up on a horse without panicking, but those years are passed filled with other things that I have to remind myself (or persuade myself) are just as good.

I'm having a hard time focusing right now but I do have an afghan on the go with more colors than Joseph's coat of many colors.

That sunset photo is beyong beautiful. I want to be outside. It's cold again, ice and snow and wind. Sigh.

So nice to see your lovely face.

my big aspirational thing is to ride horses again. Will I do it? Don't know. Your beach photos are brilliant and beautiful, especially that selfie. Your face is serene. You are in your happy place. I love it!

Gosh, you are beautiful. I would love to see that embroidered flower draped woman when you are done.

Knitting and embroidery, while not as exciting as surfing, are much less likely to harm you. But how nice to have a Surfer Girl persona. Are you talking embroidery with a hoop and thread in cloth? Or embroidery like needlepoint? I really do want to know.
