Goodbye, dear friend

Dear Summer 2010 -

Thank You for your long days to play with my children, your sun and rain to water my garden and your lazy Sunday's to nap and rest. What a wonderful time we had on the slip and slide, camping in the mountains, Grandma Camp, going to weddings, having a Grand-vacation, having a Narnia party, playing frisbee tag, filling the turtle pool and splashing at swim lessons! We enjoyed your heat, your 98% humidity and your ability to make those precious days a little longer than usual with your long sunlight. I'll remember the books we read in your afternoon heat, the craft projects we made while we hid in the shade of our home and the sweet tea we sipped while we took a break from the breezeless sauna outside. I'll remember their smiles, their laughs, their precious little heart and minds as we enjoyed it all together....

Soon the days will cool off, the football games will roar and you, sweet Summer 2010, will be tucked away as a memory - a sweet, sweet memory...farewell, my friend, you will not be forgotten.

Fondly,
Kelly
