Summer & Celebration Doll

I can't believe that summer is almost over! It has gone by much too fast! And I always dread the end of it, it always gets so comfortable with Brandon down so much, then to have to go back to seeing him every other weekend, many times less due to sports. Of course JJ being able to go out and expel some of his endless energy each night is a huge plus, and we can't forget the smiles on his face from just being outside. And the warmth, I always hate to see that go, I'm so not a cold weather person, not enough natural insulation. Things are good up until Jan 2nd. With Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas there's enough to keep me happy, occupied. But after that, its all bleak to me, no matter how much the sun shines! It's like living for the weekend, but I live for the Spring, just in anticipation for Summer. I'll miss the sand, the boardwalk, THRASHERS FRIES, longer nights, warm air, flip flops, watermelons, the smell of fresh cut grass, lightening bugs, kids playing in the neighborhood. Oh, yeah, we need to move south! (this has all come up b/c Brandon goes back Sunday :( then he'll be back Labor Day weekend, so its like its all back to the drudgery.)

Summer is the time when one sheds one's tensions with one's clothes, and the right kind of day is jeweled balm for the battered spirit. A few of those days and you can become drunk with the belief that all's right with the world. ~Ada Louise Huxtable
