California Dreaming – Flash Fiction Foray #4

It’s time for my little dose of flash fiction, thanks to my friend The Book Blogger!

Check out the challenge here!

This week the song prompt is California Dreaming, by The Beach Boys…

Ooh, I’m sure I could have fun with this!

It’s a glorious day, the sun is blazing, I’ve got my rag top down, cruising the streets, en route to the beach. Off to meet my girls, for an afternoon of fun and frolics. It’ll be great! Drink in hand, chilling on the sand, watching the muscle heads exercise, the girls in their skimpy bikinis strutting their stuff.
But I miss what I’d be doing back home. There probably wouldn’t be sun, more like rain… No beach, but some shopping, watching the pennies draining from my purse…oh, and a cup of tea!
And I’m here, sitting in California… dreaming.

Ok, so it’s not as great as the others but forgive me, it’s the Easter holidays, the kids are driving me insane and it’s only day 1!!!

    I got the picture. OK with it. Good effort. Did my basic training in San Diego. Love the Golden State. Wish I had been able to try my hand at it. Medical stuff is just now loosening its grip. Hope to get in full swing…

    I thought it was great. And I think you should have made room in it for your comment about the kids. What a counterpoint to California Dreaming!

    In a state of mind

    Where there’s
    sand and sun

    Oh how I wish
    for California

    Dreaming of
    those simpler
    times

    When fun was
    sand and
    sun

    Now I take
    those memories
    to put to
    song

    For now it’s
    California
    Dreaming
