Feeling Hopeful
BOOK 08, CHAPTER 7, PAGE 7
Summer afternoon--summer afternoon; to me those have always been the two most beautiful words in the English language.
Edith Wharton
Oh, how beautiful is the summer night,
which is not night, but a sunless,
yet unclouded, day, descending upon earth
with dews and shadows and refreshing coolness!
How beautiful the long mild twilight,
which, like a silver clasp,
unites today with yesterday!
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
GOOD MORNING!
I’m up and sipping the good coffee, but to say I’m awake and smiling would be a lie, so we’ll just say I’m up and will go off to work and hopefully function at a minimal level today.
I really am tired out after the busy weekend. But I loved every moment of it for sure. I put in a few more pictures of my family as I have so many to share. I could have and probably should have taken even more.
It is such a grand occasion when I can get them all together. My two grand babes – Our Dino Boy and Pretty Lady came the farthest for the reunion. They had a long air flight and then an 18 hour drive. Next was DS#2 who did the 18 hour drive and then came DS#4 and family who had a 8 hour drive.
The others all live in Ohio and had 1 and ½ hour long drives to 3 hour drives. It was a blessing for sure.
THOUGHT FOR TODAY
A porch is the only real reward you need
after a long summer's day.
Shawn Sell
I hope the summer is a great one,
with lots of fun and excitement.
But should the heat become,
too hot to bear,
and should trouble find you,
I hope you'll remember to fly
as gracefully as a butterfly above it all.
Just slip your sunglasses on, kick back,
and let the woes slide on by.
