…but the beaches be like… 🤩🤩🤩🌴🌴🌴 I have seen some beautiful beaches in my lifetime, but these… and there are so many… and they are all gorgeous! Soft sand, gentle waves to play in or float and reset as I like to do, and sometimes you find yourself alone. I could get used to this.

Remind me to never complain about California grocery prices EVER AGAIN! These are prices in dollars folks. I’m convinced that I would starve to death if I lived here…and my clothes would stink. ☠️☠️☠️

CARNIVAL!! Big difference from Carnival in Rio, but still fun! Dancing, music, shopping… FOOD! It’s small, but lively with their own Gumbey performers that I was secretly scared of. 🤭

Our home away from home in Bermuda is at the highest point on the island. The view all the way around is magnificent. It is breezy and warm and wonderful. We just had breakfast on the patio. Little did we know, this week is CARNIVAL! That make #3 for us. 💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽

😏 My physical face when someone’s text starts with, “I know you’re on vacation, but…” and then they start telling me their needs. 😬 My physical face when I leave that message on red. 🤣 I need a break. That’s what vacation is. This year has been SOMETHING ELSE! Promise I will NEVER message someone when I know they are trying to reset. If I like your post while I’m gone or I post something on my stories, it is not a sign that I am working.

WITH THIS SAID… I will be back June 18th and will answer messages and pack orders in the order received. Thank you for your patience while I wander, trust and understanding.

GOOD MORNIN’!!! Just a reminder, we will be closed starting TUESDAY. Last mail drop will be MONDAY 4pm. Please be sure to get your orders in before that time if you need goodies soon. Any order received after Monday 3pm will be packed and shipped in the order paid when I get back.

PLEASE REMEMBER, some items need to go on to make list. If you’re not sure if that means what you need, message me so I can tell you. To make items include, cotton pareus (sometimes), kid size pareus (most times), bases and costume pieces that I either ask for a hip measurement or color…oh and sandbelts! All of these things have a wait time so the sooner you can order, the better.

BEFORE WE GO, I will have one set up THIS SUNDAY in Martinez! Please see the VendorTour story for info. If you’d like to pick up an order, please DM me so I can tell you how to do that. Cutoff for pick up orders is 5pm today. Thanks everyone!!

Day 7 of Finding the Good: We read once that a marriage can’t survive if the husband and wife compete with each other. We had a whole car ride discussion about this. Dale and I have been together for almost 27 years and we compete with each other… financially, physically, mentally… we challenge each other in ways no other can bcuz we know what we’re both capable of. We also know the boundaries and limitations too though. It’s a funny thing. We’re true partners in this life and I sometimes forget to stop and appreciate that luxury. I realize not everyone has this. Today, I looked up and smiled bcuz he works just as hard to make this life for us as wonderful as I do. Please note: This is not normal (I guess) and should be approached with caution. We compete, but not in a “IN YO FACE” kinda way. We compete and still celebrate each other’s wins… which IS the other person’s “loss”, but in the end we realize we both won!! Woooo!

Day 6 of Finding the Good: This couple bought goodies at the booth over the weekend and I gave her the wrong change… like by a lot… like mental math was not mathin’! About 5 minutes after she leaves, SHE CAME BACK and told me she thinks I gave her too much back. Faith in humanity restored.
