Catalina Island


Catalina Island

My Grandma used to tell me stories when I was a little girl, about her adventures as a young woman in her twenties full of virility. She lived in Catalina Island with her older sister who was there sewing all the sailors pants into bell bottoms. She would get out the long shell necklaces and let me wear them, gently around my neck. I would longingly gaze at old postcards of white sandy beaches and blue oceans and wonder...

As an adult... that is the one place I still wonder about.
