MESSAGE TO YOU FROM SIREN!

My dear friends on land and sea.

As this year comes to an end, I'm thinking of all the science facts and delicious fictions about the ocean, not only the creatures below the waves but those who ride them on surfboards and in boats, and all of us who, if we could, would be mermaids and mermen! At this beginning of this year, I'm going to go through all the posts from the beginning, check that links and videos are still alive, and make sure that the links also appear on the sidebar. If you have any ideas or suggestions for me, please leave a comment!

Thank you for reading me, SIRENS LINK TO SEA!

HAPPY NEW YEAR,

Siren

This is a family movie with good values that came out in 2007, and the actor Carly Schroeder was praised by the International Family Film Festival for her acting in it. I enjoyed watching it When it's too cold to go to the beach, home with the DVD and popcorn works!
