Your mom rocks! :) <br /><br />I grew up about a 45 minute drive from the beach, so while I went often, I didn't get to spend all my free time in the ocean like your mom! And surfing is pretty much hopeless in South Carolina. You always see a few fools trying when a hurricane is blowing in, but usually we don't have big enough waves for it.Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12512800812290518552noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3830720322970025712.post-62656856258991263392018-06-18T13:06:37.399-04:002018-06-18T13:06:37.399-04:00It's funny how much the local radio stations w...It's funny how much the local radio stations were a part of our lives back in those days.Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12512800812290518552noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3830720322970025712.post-41960349582483396752018-06-18T13:06:05.350-04:002018-06-18T13:06:05.350-04:00Stop it!

As a kid, I found sunbathing the height of boredom and would rather run around with the other kids, ride my bike or sit somewhere and read. My teenage years were more about music and hair than about getting tanned. Those were the 1980s, and as a teenager, you felt it was your duty to have a different hair colour every week - anything from peroxide blonde to carrot red or aubergine to black, sometimes a mix of several of them! Once I started to work (at 18), I became reasonable :-)<br />I still tan quickly but I don't really sunbathe anymore, it just happens as I spend a lot of time outdoors on weekends to counterbalance the office job.Librarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05704656564078750607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3830720322970025712.post-22949283414177957792018-06-18T00:01:17.466-04:002018-06-18T00:01:17.466-04:00When I was still a young Adonis, I would tan very ...When I was still a young Adonis, I would tan very quickly and without effort. Now that I'm more of a Methuselah (and more in the sun) I don't seem to change colour; other than my forearms. Somehow it doesn't bother me either.

Different radio station but the sun baking thing was big time. Every weekend was spent at the beach and never was there sunscreen, hat or sunglasses involved. Mum was a surfer. She rode a surfboard and spent as much time as possible outdoors. You should see her now. OMD!! The wrinkles but she reckons she earnt every single one. She was a surfer girl. Crikey ..... she's gone all nostalgic on me.
