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.

When life hands you lemons...
fill in the blank with a greeting card one liner. One of my daughter's favorite cartoon character says,
"When life hands you lemons, dance:
dance like there's a muskrat in your pants."
Actually, life doesn't hand you anything but sometimes someone is there to hold your hand when it really counts.

"Never Underestimate the Importance of Clean Underwear.

Some people find inspiration at the bottom of a bottle. Some find it on a mountain top. And every so often some find where they'd least expect it.

Many thanks to my back-up singer, Bob, a cockatiel who sings his own tune whenever the spirit moves him."

We're all a bit like Blanche DuBois, forced to rely upon the kindness of strangers. Maybe there was a little magic left in the Mickey ears or maybe, after so many times across the border the statistics were on my side. I'd like to think that if you treat people like people, more often than not, you won't get strip searched for using creative math skills.

Some people may think this show constitutes cruelty to ferrets. Not that I think anyone will get close enough to a politician to try out the theory. And that Jehovah Witness friend of mine? She came back from France with a mission - to make the local grocer bring in decent chocolate croissants.

My apologies if you visited this site and downloaded the file when it first went up. Technically difficulties were at play. Google search for PEBKAC to find the reason. Another lesson learned...always listen to the final mp3 before uploading the file

Take Steinbeck, a jammed impeller, add a white picket fence, Barney Rubble in fuzzy slippers and pearls then watch the magic happen. There are a lot of mysteries in life but what makes two people get together and stay together for this damn long is still the biggest mystery to me. Not complaining, mind you.

In 1996 we gathered together to say goodbye to Baba and went for one last walk with her on the beach. Here are a few words from that day to complete the picture of Pearl Holub Blaseckie.

Christmas is only one day away now, and it's time to reflect on thoughts from Christmases past.

Here is a column that Maureen wrote a couple of years ago. Everyone at Baba's Beach wishes you a Merry Christmas and All the Best for 2006

Silent Night with It Came Upon A Midnight Clear by Doug Boldt

This is the last of four audio tapes recorded in 1980 by Therese Blaseckie.

The audio starts and stops quite abruptly, but I've left them just the way they were on the original tapes without any fade ins and outs.

Please enjoy and share the website with others who might too.
