It’s easy to say that we aren’t getting a vacation this summer because we are making much needed home repairs but vacation is a state of mind I’m grateful for even if it is walking to the front porch.

Cool morning-time to sleep in and get up slowly

Popsicle for breakfast Fruit in season as close as the tent at Cornerstone

Cool showers that refresh

A power outage that brings every out to speculate on  it’s source

Waving at people and talking to people from the porch

Taking a ride in the car to enjoy the air conditioning. Isn’t there another errand we can run?

Cast party-fifty people all talking at once. Laughter, reminiscing,celebrating. I do not have to travel out of state to find such joy!
