In this inimitable, beloved classic--graceful, lucid and lyrical--Anne Morrow Lindbergh shares her meditations on youth and age; love and marriage; peace, solitude and contentment as she set them down during a brief vacation by the sea. Drawing inspiration from the shells on the shore, Lindbergh's musings on the shape of a woman's life bring new understanding to both men and women at any stage of life. A mother of five, an acclaimed writer and a pioneering aviator, Lindbergh casts an unsentimental eye on the trappings of modernity that threaten to overwhelm us: the time-saving gadgets that complicate rather than simplify, the multiple commitments that take us from our families. And by recording her thoughts during a brief escape from everyday demands, she helps readers find a space for contemplation and creativity within their own lives. With great wisdom and insight Lindbergh describes the shifting shapes of relationships and marriage, presenting a vision of life as it is lived in an enduring and evolving partnership. A groundbreaking, best-selling work when it was originally published in 1955, Gift from the Sea continues to be discovered by new generations of readers. With a new introduction by Lindbergh's daughter Reeve, this fiftieth-anniversary edition will give those who are revisiting the book and those who are coming upon it for the first time fresh insight into the life of this remarkable woman. The sea and the beach are elements that have been woven throughout Anne Morrow Lindbergh's life. She spent her childhood summers with her family on a Maine island. After her marriage to Charles Lindbergh in 1929, she accompanied him on his survey flights around the North Atlantic to launch the first transoceanic airlines. The Lindberghs eventually established a permanent home on the Connecticut coast, where they lived quietly, wrote books and raised their family. After the children left home for lives of their own, the Lindberghs traveled extensively to Africa and the Pacific for environmental research. Forseveral years they lived on the island of Maui in Hawaii, where Charles Lindbergh died in 1974. Anne Morrow Lindbergh spent her final years in her Connecticut home, continuing her writing projects and enjoying visits from her children and grand-children. She died on February 7, 2001, at the age
of ninety-four. Reeve Lindbergh is the author of many books for both adults and children, including the memoirs Under a Wing and No More Words.

Good SPF spray. Poor spray bottle.
Style: SPF 50, Size: 5 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
One of the three bottles we got stopped dispensing the spray immediately. The other two were difficult to keep working. The SPF performance was very good. Used in Cabo.

Non-greasy (really) and works great
Size: 2.5 Ounce (Pack of 12)
I moved to Michigan at the end of last summer and was positively eaten by mosquitoes through September. (They liked the taste of Texas I guess.) The only formulas I found effective were this and Off Deep Woods. (And yes, I've tried all the natural oil mixes, including Young Living Purification, citronella, etc. changed my lotion, avoided fragrances, you name it.) The Smooth and Dry formula is by far my favorite. It doesn't last as long as the Off 'Deep Woods' offering, but it is really and truly non-oily/non-greasy so it's not a worry to reapply. There is a powdery dust finish involved with the application so be careful where you spray (into the wind, etc.) You don't want to accidentally inhale the stuff. That said, the dry finish means this won't stain clothes or add to the hot sticky feeling you already have to deal with during the summer.
One caveat for this particular product listing - this is for a bundle of SMALL 2.5 oz cans. I have never seen this small size in store, so while I thought I was getting a great deal, it was just about the same price per oz that I would have paid buying locally. My fault for not double-checking the size, but still, it was nice to stock up and be able to toss in a bag, the car, etc.
