And another time when Jonny was busy, the girls and I spent the day at Strands, down in my beloved hometown, Dana Point. (Notice how Aveline has on the same lovely outfit this day as she did on our Girlie Night?)

We enjoy our time in the lovely looming gloom

Silvery serenity surrounds

She shares a shell

A lovely mermaid lies nearby

Her little sister appears!
Looking back on this day I wonder, what the heck am I gonna do with myself when these children of mine are grown? Could anything sound even remotely fun or interesting, when I’ve known the pleasure of spending a silvery day on the shore with two beautiful, friendly, playful mermaids?

Those are some BEAUTIFUL daughters you have! They become your friends when they are grown : )
i agree. your girls are beauties. oh, how i love strands, too. that was my getaway spot in dp as well. many days i spent there with our beloved diego dog. looks like a great day.
Thanks for the compliments on my sweeties! I remember Diego so very well, Roxie! He showed up in many of your drawings and I think you even added him into the picture of the whole school in my 8th grade yearbook!
