YOLO - Beach Sketches

A year ago I bought myself a present - a Texting Dictionary, a handy little guide for looking up all those scrambled letters that my grandchildren are using in their texts. (I have learned that other grandmothers are doing the same thing, so I am not feeling like such a luddite)  Actually it is very useful - but I admit that I frequently just type the letters into Google and find out what is being said.

So, we are in Florida for spring break and decide to rent chairs and umbrellas from YOLO.  It never occurred to me that YOLO meant something, it was just the name of the rental place.  What a lovely surprise to learn that it means You Only Live Once (for those of you rushing to your cheat sheets). I like the idea of taking care of yourself and just relaxing by the water, because YOLO.

I had my sketchbook on the beach and of course, had to draw one of the YOLO chairs along with those little birds that my youngest granddaughter likes to chase, a sailboat out in the Gulf and the chasing granddaughter lying on her chair reading a book.



Here's another page with the golf cart - everyone had fun driving it (shhh, don't tell about the underage drivers), some shells and those crazy diving pelicans.


And, here are just a couple reminders of the palms. leaves, vines that abound.


 Well, AFAIC (As Far As I'm Concerned) this is all FTFOI (For The Fun Of It).
Enjoy the sketches and HAND (Have A Nice Day)
