Would you like a lemon with that?

I took a trip to Florida during the end of June to visit my family and friends. The trip was well overdue. My dear friend Christina and I took a short trip to Mt. Dora. She had never been, and I've been many times before. I enjoy visiting the small town and knew she would enjoy its quaintness. We had such a good time together- catching up, laughing, complaining about the heat...she and I are so alike. Our time together always goes by too fast, but I am thankful for it.

Day at the Beach

Took Gizzie to the beach for the first time during my visit to Florida. I learned that, like her mother, she is far from a beach girl. She is definitely not a water dog! She hated it and looked terrified anytime dad or I put her in the water. In fact, her favorite place? With my mom on the towel, under the umbrella, as far from the ocean as possible. But she did make some furry friends...

Play time with a Westie puppy!

Ash and I

Wet and sandy- looking a little rough.

Yes, that's Gizzie trying to get under my hat, where it's shaded. Sweet girl.

She would much rather watch all the other pups having fun in the water.

A little modesty goes a long way.

I could not have put it better myself. True for me and true for the whole world. She has it right.

"I find the whole concept of being ‘sexy’ embarrassing and confusing. If I do an interview with photographs people desperately want to change me - dye my hair blonder, pluck my eyebrows, give me a fringe. Then there’s the choice of clothes. I know everyone wants a picture of me in a mini-skirt. But that’s not me. I feel uncomfortable. I’d never go out in a mini-skirt. It’s nothing to do with protecting the Hermione image. I wouldn’t do that. Personally, I don’t actually think it’s even that sexy. What’s sexy about saying, ‘I’m here with my boobs out and a short skirt, have a look at everything I’ve got?’ My idea of sexy is that less is more. The less you reveal the more people can wonder."- Emma Watson
