This time of year, many of us living in the Midwest start to think of vacations, long weekends, getaways! Where do most of us want to go? To the sea, to the sea,anywhere there is a cool evening breeze and water. Water to swim in,to go cruising, sailing, fishing or just to have a refreshing drink, sit and relax, gaze out upon the cool waters. A soothing escape from the heat and humidity; even though I adore having four seasons to enjoy.

Recently I have decided to jump into Pinterest. It has taken me awhile because I am ALREADY on the computer way too many hours. You may see a decrease in commenting as when I read your blog post I feel I MUST pin some fabulous images IMMEDIATELY!
