I spent years baking my hangovers out on the beach at tower
four. Winter and summer you could find
me there. When I started pushing a broom
for the lifeguard service, there was no sunscreen. When they invented it and suggested we wear
it, I poo-pooed the idea. I no longer
laugh at that idea. Not at all.

The best sunscreen is staying indoors! Lol.
ReplyDeletelOVE THAT FACE.
ReplyDeleteDermatologists can see sun damage in certain lights. My dear daughter, not yet 40, already had sun damaged skin. My worst is on my chest! We and you are thankful this has not morphed into cancer! Your photo reminded me a little of Orange is the New Black which I am binge watching on Netflix this week.
ReplyDeleteWe used to cover our noses, ears, and lips with zinc oxide pre-sunscreen and got some awful sunburns everywhere else. I have assorted spots all over and had a couple of basel cell thingys rremoved from the side of my face next to driver's side window, ;-) Get 'em checked if they look funny. Still I wouldn't trade my time on the water or at the beach. Love your face!
ReplyDeleteThey will say..she died with her towel on.
ReplyDeleteFound another Puritan Rev in my tree today.
Agree with the folks who love your characterful, happy face.
ReplyDeleteAt least you now have laugh lines.
ReplyDeleteLove your smile, Mage! I'm told that sun damage begins when you are still a child. I wear sunscreen now, but I didn't when I was younger. Sigh... I wish I did too.
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful, so real, so not-botox!
ReplyDeleteI think we all of a certain age did the sun thing. We even thought it was healthy.
