My Dear Country Cousins,
How I wish you could have been here during the love spell of the past week. We have been very fortunate to be here at this time. It has been hot here too, but there is always a cool breeze and the ocean air is refreshing. Many times I thought of you all and wished you could enjoy sitting on the beach like these bathers. People live in their bathing suits here and there are many people.Create Date
