Surfing and Saints

I'm ready to dive back into polishing my historical, but not before I leave you with some beautiful pictures at the beach. As you can see, it's not at all crowded. Water temp. was in the 70s and the outside temps. in the 80s, and still I felt chilled after I came out, with the wind blowing. The waves were gentle, perfect for a beginning surfer-girl. And now matter how many times she wiped out, she was back out there, trying to catch the next wave. My son enjoyed taking all these pictures, so alas, there's not a single one of him.

 

 

 

This morning, I went for a walk in the drizzle and didn't get bit by a single mosquito! October is truly a beautiful month. It is the birthday month of two of my favorite people -- Charlanne and Colleen. While we lived in WA, it was always such a treat for me to celebrate together. Oct. begins with Feasts of St. Therese (Little Flower), St. Francis of Assisi and our Lady. My sister just made her total consecration, the quickest way to sainthood, and so I leave you with the Queen of the Holy Rosary.
