SKATEBOARD GIRLS

 

my brother's friend came over yesterday to construct a dog run for our four-legged creatures so they won't take over the backyard! in the process of working he kept saying 'my shoulder hurts, my shoulder hurts' and when i pressed him, he finally admitted he'd hurt his shoulder the night before, falling of his....skateboard. he's a 40 year old man, with two teenage kids, and he's still skateboarding! i guess the lesson is, you can't take the boy out of the man. and i hope you can't take the girl out of the woman. so enjoy your day, enjoy skateboarding or surfing or walking or bike riding, or swimming or whatever you do to move your gorgeous body! xo, am photos photos

SURFER GIRLS

 

 

 

it's summertime almost and the water has been cold but lovely and surfable(if that's a word). i am getting a new wetsuit that will keep my body warmer than my old one, but you can see from the snapshot i took at the top, any old wetsuit will do. if you haven't tried surfing now is the time! take a surf lesson this summer! don't be intimidated, just borrow or rent a 7 foot foam board and walk yourself into the ocean. sit on the board and the waves will do the rest. as the waves take you towards shore, sit on your knees or if you feel confident with your balance, stand up with your strongest foot forward and bend your knees. stick out your hands out and hang ten! it really is that simple.
