Time passes so quickly and there are so many things I want the Little Prince to know about my life. Each week, I reflect on one question and answer it here, hoping to create a treasure chest full of glittering memories for the Little Prince to enjoy.

Tell how you feel about water - playing in it, seeing it, using it. Tell about various bodies of water you have seen and an experience or feeling.
I never learned to swim, but I like to float and don't mind being in the water as long as I know I can touch the bottom. I like to walk along the beach and feel my feet sink in the sand as the waves go out. I like to watch waterfalls and the sound of the surf is very relaxing. Our sound machine is set to "surf" for sleeping. There are so many ways we use water, but my favorite is using it for drinking. Nothing more refreshing than cold water on a hot summer day.

In December of 1984 or 1985, I visited the Cayman Islands with my sister, Rebecca, and a couple cousins. We drove down to Miami, FL, then flew over the Atlantic Ocean to the Islands. As you can see from the photo above, the ocean was beautiful. We spent a lot of time at Seven Mile Beach. I would definately like to go back.

In August of 1997, Reese and I went to Niagra Falls for our honeymoon. We had a hotel room overlooking the falls and it was amazing that the water never, never stopped flowing. It just never ran out. During our vacation, we took a walk through a small town and I got to wade in Lake Ontario. Very cool. Reese was worried about dirty medical needles. Apparently, there was a dirty needle scare for the area.

In August of 1999, we spent our 3rd anniversary in Yellowstone National Park. On our anniversary day, we took a picnic lunch to Silvan Lake. Just before dusk, we saw a grizzly bear. Fortunately, he was swimming away from us.
