Life Begins Where Land Ends

I saw the words, “Life begins where land ends" somewhere and they resonated with me on a deep level. Here I am with Emma, my travel and try-anything-fun girl, at my first feeble attempt at kayaking. Emma did most of the work (can’t you tell?) and I found out that it was not as easy as it looks, but it is relaxing and a great get-back-to-nature experience.

There will be more of these adventures, goofy ones I am sure, but all I know is how great it felt to be so close to the water. Now I understand why people are addicted to this sport.

In the end, this first-time water fling might not have been an “On Golden Pond” experience, but it sure was nice.

Lynne and Emma's 5 Sure Fire Date Disaster Foods

If you want a second date with Mr./Mrs. Right, stay away from these hard-to-eat foods that might not leave the best impression.

1. Spaghetti : Do we really have to explain this one?



2. Soup: Slurping soup is a real turn-off... don't do it.



3. Ribs: EWW!



4. Garlic and onions: Do you think your gonna get a kiss that way? Be serious.



5. Chicken wings: Bar food staple that doesn't make a good first impression.

If you mind you P's and Q's, you're sure not to lose.

It Costs Nothing to Dream and Everything Not To

I have a painting in my house with these words and when I saw it I knew it was meant for me.

What's your dream? What's on your bucket list? I am working on my list but for this summer, it is learning to be a better swimmer. A big wish on my list is to swim with the dolphins.

Keep dreaming; I know I will. Some our wishes are bound to come true.

Do Not Go Quietly Into That Good Night

I hope I can still dance when I am old. I hope I can still flirt with the opposite sex. I hope I can still cry when watching a romantic movie. I hope I can still have romance. I hope I can still walk on the beach when I am old and delight in its beauty. I hope I can still read a great book, laugh, love, sing, pray and so many other things that I can't name.

I hope we will all have this je ne sais quoi into our twilight years.
