we took the kids to the beach this summer for the first time ever. i grew up in florida where we spent almost every waking hour at the beach, so for me it felt like i was finally going home again... well, not quite, but you get the idea. i think this beach trip will be one of my most favorite times ever. i hope when i'm 85 and in my rocking chair i can still remember it well enough for it to feel tangible. i took so many pictures and it still wasn't enough. i found myself wishing there were more to go through. i couldn't bring myself to let any go... so what do you do with hundreds of pictures???? make an album... a really big album! really big! as in 200 pages big... it will sit on my shelf waiting for to turn it's lovely pages until my fingers are too old and arthritis has set in (with as much time as I spend at the computer that could be sooner than later!)...
but i am ready for school to start again, for the schedule, for the fall, for the smiling faces that i'll find waiting for me as i drive through the pick up line at the school... but a part of me will be missing summer... lazy days, sleeping in, spending WAY too much time at the pool, vacations, friends, family... all those little bits of summer.

I also love to spent my summer time at beach and stay with my family, but not this year, too busy to enjoy my day !
Blogging is the new poetry. I find it wonderful and amazing in many ways.
