Summer is not over yet!

Sailboats off Block Island

I love summer. Warm sunny endless days. Short sleeves and flip flops. BBQ’s and beaches. As the last weeks of August are upon us I find myself wanting to hold off the inevitable onset of fall. Wait! I’m not ready to start wearing socks again! I haven’t done all that I promised myself I would this summer. After a four days of rain and cool weather this past week, I could almost hear autumn knocking on the door. But summer is not quite ready to depart and the sun has finally come out again and the forecast for the upcoming week is blissfully warm and sunny, which fits perfectly into my upcoming vacation plans!

Tomorrow morning I am off to the Hamptons for the beach and a BBQ with my ski friends and then on Monday I take a ferry from Montauk to Block Island where I will spend two nights (three days) on my friend’s boat! From the pictures on the internet (see above) it looks beautiful!  Lucky me! Stay tuned and I’m sure my own photos will follow soon!

Where Did the Time Go?

It’s been way too long since my last post. Where did the summer go? Although by the weather this week it sure feels like summer is still here! I’ve had a busy summer. I went down to the Turks & Caicos twice for some much needed diving and r&r. The first trip was at the end of June through the July 4 week and then I returned there for the last week in August. Diving as usual was terrific and I had a chance to reunite with friends from around the world. As always my diving trips inspired new designs to be added to my shops. Here are a a few from my Kanji collection. They are the Kanji characters for Peace, Ocean & Love:
