We’d been going together for quite a time when we visited one of our favorite places. Taking a blanket from his car, we walked down to the beach to ...atch the waves rolling in. The sunset was beautiful and the moon appeared as a giant balloon in the sky.Other people were also enjoying the view but, as we lay on the blanket talking, cuddling and kissing, we were in our own world and I lost track of everything and everyone around us.

She wore dark sunglasses and a hat as she read her book.It was about 10:30 in the morning when things really started to change for me that morning. My father and I were sound asleep.

I adjusted the wounds to look like one of the beasts had done them in, but I could not be sure who was one of them and who was not. They may have been attacking others in the village and tried to kill me, but no villager has ever been left behind. It has been that way since the founding of Cartha, and I. The Austin's had sails from Chicago, Sturgeon Bay, Dunedin NZ, Miami, San Francisco and most of them were UK made.Nylon, Mylar, Sunbrella, and canvas in various weights for various situations in various locations. We were going over each seam and component. Nearly all sails have reinforcing lines sewn into the edges. A little something extra to help stop a parting. And all sails have reinforcements built into the places of stress. If there's a halliard attached the place it's attached to is.
