My garden is filled with papayas and mangos
My life is a mixture of reggaes and tangos
Taste for the good life, I can live it no other way
While out on the beach there are two empty chairs
That say more than the people who ever sit there
From under my lone palm I can look out on the day
Where no bird flies by my window
No ship is tied to my tree
Love is a wave building to a crescendo
Ride if you will, ride it with me
I knew this girl made of memories and phrases
Who lived her whole life in both chapters and stages
Danced til the dawn, wished all her worries away
Well she wasn't crazy no she wasn't mad
She just wanted the father that she never had
From under my lone palm I think about her today
Where no bird flies by my window
No ship is tied to my tree
Love is a wave building to a crescendo
Ride if you will, ride it with me
We sailed from the port of indecision
Young and wild with oh so much to learn
Days turn into years as we tried to fool our fears
But to the port of indecision I returned
My gardens are filled with papayas and mangos
My life is a mixture of jingles and jangles
Come Christmas winds and blow all my worries away
Where no bird flies by my window
No ship is tied to my tree
Love is a wave building to a crescendo
Ride if you will, ride it with me
Sing if you will and we'll sing to the sea
-James William Buffett

A little JB, a little rum. How nice it would be to warm my bones on that soft white sand.

Did you know he was injured in Australia last night? Fell off stage and has huge gash in head - I haven't heard any updates. Hope he recovers soon, cuz I look forward to seeing him in Raleigh this year:)

Just what I needed on another snowy day...think I'll go take a peek at my Aruba vacation photos from June!

I need a beachy break too...it's snowing here again! The sun is hiding and I really wish she would beam some rays on me!
Thanks for dropping by my blog and reminiscing with me. :)
Oh, that picture. I feel it calling to me!! I'd love to see a palm tree in real life.
In fact, I'd settle for seeing the sun, all warm and wonderful, in real life! We had grey skies and a bit of rain today. Grrr...
Made me feel all bajigity... (was that it?!)
