2. Are you known for making waves or are you more of a 'go along to get along' kind of person? Explain. I typically try not to make waves. I'd rather just get along. However, that being said, I will not compromise on the truth. I still don't want to fight about it, but I'm willing to discuss what I believe as long as we do it kindly.
3. A favorite song that in some way references the beach? A favorite book and/or movie with a beach-y setting? Most anything by the Beach Boys reminds me of the beach and Jimmy Buffet songs too. As far as a movie, I always enjoyed the old beach movies that Annette Funicello and Frankie Avalon were in, such as Beach Blanket Bingo, etc. Also Elvis made some pretty good beach movies too such as Blue Hawaii. Probably one of the favorites would be Soul Surfer. Death in Paradise is a pretty good beach TV series. Below is a video of the Beach Boys singing Kokomo.
4.Tuesday is National Simplicity Day...what's a simple pleasure you've enjoyed this week? What's something you could eliminate from your life to make things simpler? My early morning walks with the dog and relaxing with hubby in the evenings. I can't eliminate it but I'd love to be able to not have to deal with getting enrolled with Medicare...so far, nothing has been simple. lol But I do know that eventually it will get done and that's a relief to know.
5. What's something you love to do? Do you do it often? Why or why not? I love to read and sometimes I do it often and sometimes not. No real reason but just the way it is.
6. Insert your own random thought here.

WOW, I am a HUGE Jimmy Buffett fan and I didn't even think of him for that answer. I shock myself sometimes. LOL.
ReplyDeleteYou're too funny! Have a great day.
DeleteI think I was too old when Jimmy Buffet came along, but I sure do remember the Beach Boys. They were some of my favorites! Surfer Girl was one in particular, because I used to dream about being a surfer girl. I did try it a couple of times, but didn't do very well. A little too scary for me! And yes, it's probably best to try and keep from "making waves" in this crazy political climate, but then again, we do have to stand for the truth whenever the opportunity arises...but yes, do it in love. That can be a challenge in itself because so often the "other side" wants to take it to the next level. I have to pray for wisdom so often before commenting on "issues". Good post. I hope you make it back to the beach. We live about 60 miles from it and rarely ever get there. Silly!
ReplyDeleteI've done a little body surfing in the waves, but never on a surf board. Praying for wisdom before we speak or write is always a good thing. Take care my friend.
DeleteI have heard wonderful things about Myrtle beach! Your picture sure did it justice - looks fabulous!!! I love that Kokomo song too - definitely beachy! HUGS
ReplyDeleteWe really enjoy Myrtle Beach especially in November. Not too crowded nor too hot.
DeleteI agree, I like walking by the water where the sand is hardened. I agree, we can't compromise on the truth. I love the song you shared. It felt great listening to it. True, medicare is not easy to figure out. Mark usually does that for me. I'm glad you enjoy reading. I keep telling myself to start. I have purchased so many free books on my Kindle app and I should start to read. Love your random....AMEN!
ReplyDeleteI'm really going through a slump in my reading right now. I've started several books and none of them are grabbing me. Hopefully this will pass soon.
DeleteAmen to that last!! I try to avoid being in the direct sun for more than a few minutes. Too many skin cancers so that's my excuse. I agree with you that Fall is a much better time to hit the beach!! xo
ReplyDeleteYes, I don't stay in the sun too long either. I go out in the early morning or late afternoon and of course usually the sun is not as fierce in November.
DeleteMy husband brought up Beach Blanket Bingo! I'm with you on preferring the beach in the winter months. I also do not ever want to compromise the Truth. Happy Hodgepodge to you!
ReplyDeleteThose were really crazy movies, but fun!
DeleteThis was fun! We loved visiting Myrtle Beach back in 2017. Also, I know I'm younger, but I love the song Kokomo by The Beach Boys! Quintessential summer in a song, in my humble opinion. Have a great one, friend!
