Our lives are kinda like the ocean. Some days the waves are calm peaceful. Other times OH MY GOSH NOT! WHY?

Wouldn't it be swell if you could foresee the days when the waves of your life were going to come crashing down on you giving you a head's up so you could prepare yourself?

When things are calm you get relaxed and think everything is swell and then a SWELL builds and takes you down figuratively. How much warning do you ever get before that happens?

    That's why God invented Surf Boards.

    The surfboard actually was invented in 1926 by Tom Blake and Beach Boys later sang about surfing. God may have invented your friend Donald Trump, but give credit where it's due for the surfboard.

    No one said when or where or why.  I'm glad for this tid bit of info, I guess, but you can at least tell me without being so freaking haughty about knowing about surf board birth.  I mean, that is very nice, Stu B.

    That was so sweet of you, Stu.  Calling Trump my friend and telling me God did not invent the surfboard.   

    LOL

    Always happy and here to help! And God (oh, that man/woman/deity/abstract entity again!) knows, he is most certainly not my friend. This post was edited by Stu Spelling Bee at October 26, 2019 12:20 PM MDT

    YAA WHOO !!!!
    for Jan and Dean and the days when surfing was a good thing in the ocean with friends and fun and bikinis and laughter and good music!!!!  It had NOTHING to do with the internet.
    Thank Goodness for Tom Blake who had the wisdom of putting  a board that will always float on the rolling ocean and not being afraid.
    And last but not least Thank you Dad for introducing me to Jan and Dean and To Don who introduced me to the Beach Boys and lived the California Dream.

    Nifty reply Merlin. Thank you for that and the video. You know I lived in Massachusetts for five years. A beautiful state with very fine people. But whenever I heard CALIFORNIA DREAMIN' especially in winter I was so lonesome for California. Happy Sunday. I think I'm gonna ask and see what others have experienced.

    It's wonderful you have been able to enjoy both coasts.  I have a large appreciation for the Atlantic and East Coast.  However, in my heart, I am a west coast girl through and through.
    Like you, I always will choose to live near the ocean.  I am much happier.
    Don has lived the California Dream. I am just lucky he turned out to be my "Dream Man."  Big Hugs and Loves!  See you on another question! Love, Merlin :) :)
