Visions of love from Catanzaro Lido:

And by the way, when is the last time *you* held someone’s hand?

I wish I was on the beach right now!

Regarding your last question…I can’t remember. Very sad.

It’s overcast here right now, so not great beach weather I’m afraid….

Don’t worry, I don’t remember the last time I held hands either. I held paws this morning though!

A beach all to yourself! Sure beats the way the beach will be before you know it. How lucky can you be?

I was holding cat paws before opening up you site and puppy paws Wednesday night. Hands I can’t remember either.

Beginning and end of the summer is the best beach time IMHO, Gil, for exactly the reason you mention…and paws work just fine too!

Those kids are precious! I last held hands … last night!

Oh that is sad actually. Strange isn’t it, how something so simple can have such strong connotations?

I didn’t mean for it to be sad! Happy times! Holding hands with children! Paws with doggies and kitties! Come on

I hold hands every morning when I drop my son off at school, but he is starting to not want to.

Oh no! He’ll be moving on to hands smaller than yours soon I imagine….

How cute. Although when I read the blog title…I thought of *sex on the beach*

We will leave it at that

Oh, that second picture is too cute. As for your question… man, I don’t know. (That’s a little depressing, right?)

Nah, you just need to find a cat
somepinkflowers on 29 May 2008 at 3:28 pm #

me, too, like gil up there
i was holding my cat’s paw
as he sat i my lap….

[[ i think Spike secretly feels confined when i do that
but he has developed toleration,
plus,
it is the hand that feeds... ]]

speaking of hands…don’t you love it when little children
point their chubby little finger at something?
i might be the first time EVER they see a certain thing…

Look, they say…What is that?

somepinkflowers’s last blog post..tourist tuesday and the way home from spain

I still point my chubby finger and ask what is that…in Italian now

Your Spike is *very* smart to humor you

I want some beach time…but not on Lake Ontario!

My daughter still holds my hand and sometimes at night while my husband and I
fall asleep we hold hands.

Aw that’s so cute Lucia!

The weather in Toronto is sucking big time….the thought of lying on a beach seems like a dream these days. It’s almost June and we have yet to have warm enough weather to wear a t-shirt let alone sit out on a beach in a bathing suit.

That photo of the two kids holding hands is the cutest thing ever!! How sweet!!

Hey here in Calabria, our weather has just warmed up in the past couple weeks…it’ll get there!
Ninotchka on 29 May 2008 at 3:52 pm #

Ahhhh, love at the beach is one of the best kind! And btw, I hold somebody’s hand every day. Be it one or more of my girls or Guy’s (we hang out together a lot). I’m lucky that way!

Oh you *are* lucky Nino…but we knew that
Linda on 29 May 2008 at 3:55 pm #

Re: Lulu’s comment, I’m from Toronto too but even the weather here in Milan sucks. Oh vell.

I love holding my toddler’s little hands, especially when we play Ring Around the Rosey.

Yeah unfortunately northern Italy isn’t too much different than ahem, north North America

Ring around the rosey! Woohoo!

I’m holding the fort here rather than holding hand. There is a perfect love thursday flowering in our garden at the moment. If it stops raining I’ll send you the pic.

How lovely! And it was probably Saturday night - sitting on our balcony with a glass of vino.

How lovely, then, right back at you Jen

The last person who held my hand was my son. Yesterday we were walking on the sidewalk and he just reached for my hand — no prompting required! He said, “I want to hold your hand, mama, I like it when you hold my hand”. Ahhh, melt, my heart….. Happy Love Thursday!

Happy Love Thursday to you!

It is love thursday! I *LOVE* these shots. They are wonderful!

I especially like the children holding hands… what a sweet way to connect. It’s one of my favorite ways.

Thank you for this precious moment and the accompanying smile.

~hugs~

Aren’t those kids just the cutest? I couldn’t resist snapping this. Her “look over there” just makes it all the more priceless
