What I Will Miss About Summer...



-Wearing flip flops every day


-Spending time with my family


-No stress from homework and school obligations


-Vacations and road trips


-Sitting in the back yard in the evenings & watching the hummingbirds play


-Staying up late & sleeping in the next day


-Smores in the fire pit and movies in the back yard on the screen


-Bob's Brain Freeze!


-Watching the pumpkins, raspberries and corn grow


-Swimming & hot tubing parties


-Driving the convertible with the top down & music loud


-Watching the yard (finally) come together after many hours of landscaping


-Sun kissed shoulders


-Naming freckles


-Watching Wigget smile as he hops through the yard to me


-Lavender blowing sweet scents through the back yard


-Popsicle mustaches


-Newly cut grass


-Clothes line dried


-Reading a good book in the sunshine


-Lunch dates


-Day lilies dancing in the summer breeze


-4 Wheeling through the mud


-Catching fireflies


-Camping in the Unitas


-Block parties


-Fishing


-Weekends in Midway


- Giggles from kids while running though the icy cold sprinklers

I Have Found Me A Home...


The days drift by

They don't have names

And none of the streets here look the same

And there are so many quiet places

And smilin' eyes match the smilin' faces.


And I have found me a home,

Yes, I have found me a home

And you can have the rest of everything I own

'Cause I have found me a home.



- Jimmy Buffett
