I woke up this morning and knew that it was a special day but I wasn't sure why. It was one of those feelings that you just can't place. Then I remembered. It would have been my Grandmother's Birthday.

Then it really sunk in. It would have been her 100th birthday. Now, the vast majority of folks don't make it to 100, and many wouldn't want to. She had enough love in her heart for 200 years and for that I'm thankful. I'm thankful that she got to hear her Great-Grandchildren play in the back bedroom and I'm thankful that she lived long enough to see them walk on the sand at Baba's Beach.

We'll be back in the next couple of weeks with more podcasts and some video podcasts from some recent (and not so recent) travels.

Cheers Beach-Granny.

Season Two on the Beach will start up in the next few weeks. We took a small break to scour the globe in search of rest, relaxation, cheap wine and inspiration. Refreshed, invigorated and having finished the last bottle of Orvieto Classico from a small family vineyard up in the Umbrian hills we promise to clean up our act and get back to this podcasting thing.

Well, I've stopped traveling, anyway. It seems my husband has this work thing that requires extended periods of time in planes, ships and hotel resorts. Yeah, rough. Kinda like the time our children were 17 months and 1 month old, he came back from a 3 week buoy deploying trip and complained the government budget cuts meant there'd been only two choices of dinner entree on the ship. I gave him the choice of macaroni or the couch.

Time to get down to being creative and maybe brush up on my english grammer: where's that bit about run-on sentences?

Thanks for hanging in there, keeping us on your podcatcher, staying calm, waiting for the signs and being brave. Or something like that. We'll all be back on the beach soon.

I think there was a problem with the comment machine. I've switched off the Spam Grabber, so please give it another try.

We'd love to hear what you think.
