I lean my head back to view my burlap ceiling. Stapled and then framed in by blonde wood. It’s another artistic flair. Something different.
Just ask me about different. It has been the theme of my life.
I sent my Who Am I post to Sassy Silver Surfers. An over fifty ladies group, of women who surf.

I am Cheri Eagerton Royal/JBug……..
Yes, this is a screen shot of my instagram page – @everydaypaparazza. I googled myself. This is who I am. Or I should say part of who I am. A good part. Almost a 1000 photos of beautiful people. I interacted with many that I did not know. It was so much fun. My camera has always helped me to communicate with others.

What is this world coming to?
I was shocked to see this sign at the entrance of the Auto Mercado in Tamarindo, Costa Rica! I had clothes on, so I was good. Having just left the beach, playing with my dog. I enjoyed seeing the students and horses. Tourists – having fun. On another day I might have been surfing and at the start of my first grocery pit stop. I have 5 between Tamarindo and Playa Potrero. It’s necessary to try and beat the cost of today’s groceries
I am currently living in flux, in Costa Rica. – I’ve dug a glorious hole here. It started one way and has ended up another.
Surfing is my passion. Honestly, it’s the beach. If for some reason I could not surf, I would still want to be in the water.
Surf magazine is responsible for this crazy lifestyle. That magazine along with Longboarder. As a teenager I looked at those photos and began my dreams, of getting away. A hut like abode would be fine. Water sparkling like diamonds. Catching waves and living life. As a teenager, what did I know about it all. We’re not suppose to know. If we knew, we would never branch out.
Living on Amelia Island, Florida, I spent my summers in a bathing suit. That’s what beach people do. I would paddle out so far. Play on the beach at night. Swim out at the nine mile marker. Now everyone wants to protect me. WTHeck – Really?
And that’s the problem. Most of these people, here in Tama, CR and Amelia Island, FL, are not beach people. They are here for a time. They want bars, restaurants, convenience. They probably need protecting. Tourists would not be here unless there was a doctor on every corner. When we go on distant adventures we take a First Aid Kit, with a circular needle and thread. Alcohol and bandages.
This is no longer my cup of tea.
I have a new dream and it involves Saladita, Mexico.
@surfitoutmexico Risa Mara Machuca – Have y’all seen that woman surf!
That’s my new dream. A new wave. A new destination.
I will enjoy this lull of life, but today, I have a new vision.
*I realize Saladita is a town But I don’t care. I want to see Risa surf in person. And I am frothing for that wave.*
Hang in there!
Last Friday, I posted to Sassy Silver Surfers. SSS is my favorite women’s surfing FB page. The post was a quip. A memory of my first stay in Costa Rica. My husband took me to Mal Pais, for my fortieth. That trip changed our lives in a drastic way. Surfing became a dominant passion.
