August 13, 2008: I normally do not review a book after reading just fifty pages, but life events got in the way. Thus, I have had to set aside Beach Chair Diaries, though the infectious humor contained in the first essay stays with me. ?Surfer Girl? is an account of author Janet Spurr?s strenuous and wonderful midlife achievement?and I found myself applauding her pursuit of a long-held dream. The essays I read are warm and entertaining, and Janet captures a variety of summer beach experiences. The accounts are followed by thoughtful ?Low Tide Times,? which encourage readers to think about and act on their own dreams 'while Janet cheers them on!'.
