Ashore When She Is Ready ~ Not a Minute Before
The towels are packed, the car is loaded and someone is calling her name from the sand. She heard. She is simply finishing her thought, her float and her afternoon, in that order. For the woman nobody has ever successfully hurried out of the water.
-
For the Last One Out: Give it to the friend who has been 'coming' for twenty minutes at every lake, pool and beach since childhood.
-
Mari's Favourite Kind: Some days call for perspective. Some call for not coming ashore. She clearly knows which this is.

Mother Knows: Mothers of water babies will recognise the standoff and the eventual surrender.
The first cup tastes better when the mug knows where you would rather be. This 11oz or 15oz ceramic mug wears Mermaid Dayz designs that say what a mermaid says (the office is temporary, the ocean is not, and shrimp opinions are not accepted), and it is microwave and dishwasher safe for the mornings that start slow and the afternoons that need a reheat. It holds the coffee that gets you through the meeting and the tea that gets you to the water. A good gift for the one who collects them, and a better one for yourself. Sip, swim, repeat.
