You went by too fast! - My photos and poetry collection from summer 2024
The beach! My favorite place in the world.

My descriptive beach essay above originally written in 1998.
With school starting Monday I'm reflecting on our summer as a family. What else is a sentimental mom to do?
Evenings in the park. Mike and I enjoyed many walks together as we discussed our future endeavors.
Poetry read and written.

We are planning for Mike's retirement in September! Exhilarating yet scary for both of us.
It's almost impossible to get the 3 of us on the photos. The motel hall will have to do.
Vacation and celebrations
Our mini beach vacation. Mike and I celebrated our 36th wedding anniversary and our son's 17th birthday.
Preparing for our annual July 4th party of about 40 this year. The introvert in me is energized by connections with friends but needs recovery time to decompress.
Proof that I did swim in the ocean.

Proof that one day last summer I styled my hair!
May summer memories live forever in your heart.

Good luck to your daughter back in school. It is a bitter sweet feeling. I can't imagine college! Soak up the rest of those beach days ⛱️
Wow, quite the sunset !!!
