I don´t like to go swimming….really…I jog, workout…the whole bit to stay fit but I am not a fan of swimming or lounging around on sandy beaches, etc. I find it boring:)but what definitely is not boring are your coooool little books!!! I think I “need” one for my stash:) Have a good weekend!

Ruth,

My favorite place to swim is in Lake Norman, Mooresville, NC right off my parents dock at their lake house! Thank you for the chance to win your great books!

Of course, my favorite beach is in Woods Hole: Nobska Beach. Views to the left are of the lighthouse, to the right, the airplane house, and in front, one can cast their eyes past the ferries/boats directly over to Martha’s Vineyard! The surf has perfect waves, and the sand sports an occasional piece of sea glass, too!

I like swimming in chlorinated water best, haha. There are too many mysterious creatures lurking in the ocean, I prefer to swim in a pool where I can see the bottom =)
