Beach memories

"Would you walk to the edge of the ocean, just to fill my jar with sand
just in case I get the notion to let it run through my hand." -Band Perry

I love this song and everytime I hear it reminds me of very special things. I love the ocean and miss being down by the water with my toes in the sand.  I love feeling the sand under my feet and how it feels so squishy.  I love sunwarmed hair and the coolness of the ocean as you dip your toes in for the first time. I miss the salty taste of the ocean in my mouth. I love the smell of coconut suntan lotion or Kyndall's Bath & Body lotion!
I love so many things..... special secret birthday gifts which always made me smile. Great memories at Myrtle Beach

Michael's Schwinn Bike he made me

My brother Michael worked at Yesteryear Cyclery, Inc. in New Bedford.  He helped Kim Camara build and repair bicycles. Well for my 10th birthday in 1976, Michael gave me this one of a kind bike.  It is a special frame and he made up the name himself. (sorry forgot the name)  I loved the Irish kelly green color and loved my banana seat with stick shift on the frame.  I loved that bike.  It sat in my mother's basement up until a year ago when she passed away.  Michael took the bike back to Kim/Yesteryear and they ended up hanging it from the ceiling in the store as a type of museum. I am happy to say my bike is on display!  Lots of memories on that bike.  Love you Michael!
