Awwww, to have a young girls body again!
Your post was great, thanks for sharing. You have a blessed life. One of these days I would love to visit on my way down to our house in TS, (will
keep my clothes on though).
Some people are offended, some aren't, some get it, some don't, makes life interesting. The kids had a blast, it put a smile on your face and it
makes some of us remember being young and carefree, they will learn how to handle cultural differences and opinions by their mistakes, don't we all?
On a sadder note, my parents were evacuated from their home in Fallbrook because of the fires and are with me. Sometimes remembering the fun times in
life can help us get through the bad. I will have to remind my mom of one of her skinny dipping stories!
Thanks again!
May no animals be harmed in the making of this film.

Thanks for the great report Shari!
I always look forward to your posts. You seem to have perfect balance in your life (family, work, fun), something my family and I are always striving
for.
We've got to figure out a way to get down to that Beach House of yours sometime.
Thanks again.

After looking at the fire tragedy the last two days I finally opened this thread. And have enjoyed the moral squabble. Of course, IMHO, it's just
individual tastes. I do however always enjoy Shari's posts. rts551 & Trotters, While your head is down your butt may be high enough to show crack.
Carefull it may catch on.

Maybe, your posts title threw people off a little bit. I assumed it was a bunch of children at first, then I saw the picture and thought, Hmmmm, they
can run naked on my beach anytime. Except for the dude.

When we were thinking up a design for a burgee (flag) and hats for our little yacht club here which is called BAYC, we thought a lobster with a bare
butt would be cute...get it...BA? Maybe susan can design it?

Never was a legal, nor a moral squabble, nor a matter of individual tastes, but some of you obviously don't comprehend too well.
Russ, your really show a lot of class.

It must be nice to know that your thoughts and "standards" are the appropriate ones.
Man, I wish I had that going on. |
Again, some of you really lack reading comprehension skills---tis a shame.

Just thinking if I had a 20 something year old body still, I would run around naked everywhere I went. Gravity is not so nice!

Bajagypsy,
My rule is if people don't like what they see, then they don't have to look.
This comment is only pointed towards Bajagypsy's desire to run naked and free. It has NOTHING to do with the topic of this thread. I'm
staying out of that one.

I guess she already has. That's the problem. Oh well, she's not alone.

Oh Mexico
Now don't be yellin' at me. Just kidding. just funnin'.
O' Mexico
When I moved to Mexico I had no real pre-conceived ideas about what it would be like to live among my new neighbors. I recognized at once how very
different we were but I was excited about learning all the little things we might have in common. At first I was a little put off by their strange
talk, scant clothing, the rude country language their bodies spoke.
My sixty-plus years in the U.S. crushed me with information, impressions, knowledge about the world and its cultures that these simple people did not
experience. I expected most of them would be emotionally immature. The "ignorance is bliss" message was clear on their faces -- a simple,
uncluttered life makes them seem child-like.
At times I almost envied them; the whole family at the beach, splashing in the surf, the children pushing and roughhousing. Not a care in the world.
Perhaps they should be grateful that their poor country did not, could not force upon them the stringent rules of elementary education.
Over time my apprehensions faded. Now I feel more comfortable in their midst -- now and then I walk back from the beach with small family groups,
holding hands, laughing; content to feel the soft warm sand beneath their feet as they return to their shacks; some old metal trailers, some to
shacks with no running water, no toilets. When the fishermen return with a good catch I sometimes help them carry the fish home -- smiles on their
faces, the smell of bait on their hands.
The Mexicans can't stand them; say they should go right back to Canada where they came from.

That's just because back home our only vocabulary is "Mush, Naoonk", there are no reindeer in Baja to make clothing from and our legs and feet are
misshapen from wearing snow shoes and mukluks all the time - thus prompting strange body language.
When the way comes to an end, then change. Having changed, you pass through.
