~** Packing Up The Summer!**~

Dear Friends ~

*

Back Home and enjoying

the last free days

of my summer.

*

I had a girl's day out

with Relyn on Friday, tea with Dulcy on Sat.,

and today Jaclyn took me out

to lunch and we made sailor

stick people for her nautical themed

Kindergarten classroom.

*

I have been drinking too much

McAlister's sweet tea and

have watched Dan in Real Life

too many times.

At night I have been staying up

late and reading lots.

I just finished The Sugar Queen.

My beach combing creations for Annie

my swap partner in the By the Sea Swap.

My 4 inch collage I created for Annie

using some of my beach finds.

*

My keepsake box

to hold the swap items

ready for its final touches.

Dulcy's beautiful flowers

in the heat of summer.

~ I am convinced

she lives in a land of enchantment.

A few last scenes from vacation.

The beach between my toes

is a fun memory...

Sometimes I wish I could run up

the steps of our vacation place

one more time...

***

... But then I think about starting

a new year with the kiddos

and I get excited to begin again.

Mark on the last evening of vacation

on the beach in the moonlight.

A favorite of mine and a good way

to end this post.

Blessings Friends!
