I love the ocean too, but I also love boats. I dont get the opportunity to visit the sea nearly often enough. I live about as far from the ocean as it is possible in the UK, not that that is very far, lol, but with no transport..

I love the ocean. LOVE the ocean. Want to be on the ocean in a chair, with coffee beside me and a sketchpad. All the time.
What a neat experience to see the whales migrating!

I’ve never lived near a beach (unless you count Lake Michigan, I don’t) so I guess I don’t know what I’m missing? I wouldn’t mind a place with some weather, though, we get entirely too much sunshine here…boring.
Thanks for stopping by!

I played for the first time today, also. I love your blog design, the colors are great and it’s very soothing on the eyes.
Man, I would love to see whales migrating, or whales at all, for that matter
Is it as hot and dry in Texas as it is here (MS)?
Have a great day!

Wow, it was my 1st TT today, I live in Texas, and I live on a bay — almost an ocean. But I can’t count to anything in Japanese. But we still have more in common than not.

Lucky to have moved so much. Whales are really beautiful!

You gave a lot of information about yourself in 13 quick items. I found it especially interesting since my husband is in San Diego on business until Tuesday.
Comment by Gail Martin — June 15, 2006 @ 8:03 pm
Love your list. I’ve never really been to Texas…my brother now lives there near Dallas and I want to come visit.
My TT is up here.
Comment by Susan — June 15, 2006 @ 8:03 pm
Oh, I love the ocean too. Of course in the midwest I’m no where near an ocean. I consider myself lucky if we get near the lake. And I don’t know if you seen any of the rivers and lakes in Iowa, but they aren’t pretty.
Comment by Christine — June 15, 2006 @ 8:21 pm
Sounds like you lived a very interesting life. I have never been to Texas, but I was born in California, moved from there to Nebraska when I was 11…moving around a lot since then, now I am hopefully settled in Minnesota.
I would like to go back and visit California once more too - but would never want to live there.
Thanks for visiting my TT.
