Loving summer …

But not the heat.

bare feet.

flip-flops.

feet with flip-flop tan lines.

lime is good too.

a camera in my hands held to my eye.

big fluffy white clouds.

oversized t-shirts. shorts. flip-flops.

polka dotted flip-flops. lots of flip-flops.

a fresh hair cut.

water. air conditioning. thank you Lord.

a good book….a love story…a story of days gone by.

dirt.

a cool shower. soap. bubbles. lotion.

blooms. longer days. cool afternoons. the smell of a just cut lawn. green grass.

                   babies. blue babies. learning to fly. mama near by.

those moments you think you’re funny.

pretty painted toes.

visits with old friends. fond memories. catching up. time stands still.

I spent my morning with an old friend from my high school days. The hours turned into years of catching up. Remember when? Remember that? How is……? Where are they now? How are you? You look great! She was the really smart one in school. Top of our class. She is the doctor now…infectious diseases are her specialty. While she was still going to med school she would always asked me… “who would want to marry me being a doctor?” And my answer was always… “Another doctor.” So what did she go and do…marry another doctor!! She was in my wedding, I was in her's.  We rarely get to see each other because of their work. They live in Virginia and have two beautiful daughters.

What a fun visit….after many hugs, and “I love you’s”, she had to go with a promise of a visit the next time they are home to Alabama!!

Time stood still if only for one morning.

summer is good. life is good. sweet summer time.
slow.
easy.
