Don’t you just love the summer? I sure do. We have been quite busy this month and so I haven’t been able to write as much. A lot is going on each day, so time for the computer can be a challenge.
I miss the writing, but I am having a lot of fun with long conversations with Ian, having time for work and play, staying up later than we normally do, and having time to relax.
This picture was taken a few years ago of Ian at the beach. He was playing in Mission Bay and having a great time!
Here are a few thoughts and quotes about the summer. Enjoy! I will try to post more regularly very soon.
Summer to me is:
- Lazy mornings
- Bare feet in the sand and surf
- An ice cream treat on a hot day
- Playing games for hours
- Reading one book after the other
- Long walks
- Lots of laughs and fun times
- Long conversations with friends and family
- Heat and humidity in the south
- Cool weather in Southern California
- The Beach Boys music and other beachy music
- Playing with Ian
- Listening to Ian talk about his favorite Lego build
- The sun not setting until almost 10 p.m.
- Swimming at the pool and ocean
