Vacation Happies

listening to Nitty Gritty Dirt band and like-minded music in the car

am loving my new book – “Left at Tenth” by Delia Ephron – when I am reading it, I am IN it! Another world for me to vicariously visit

arriving in Siesta Key this afternoon – so familiar and welcoming

the best thing about our beach vacation isn’t even the beach! It’s being with family and friends for wondrous long stretches of time!

Best Thing About Today

The best thing about today is we have no deeds to do, no promises to keep-Groovy

The best thing is Kleenex because my nose is running.

The best thing is melons from the fruit store. I can imagine their succulent flavor.

The best thing is travelers are proceeding safely. Daughter had some adventures but inconveniences not catastrophes.

The best thing is sunshine and flowers I can see out the window.

The best thing is yet to be. I wait in expectation!

Lucky because the booms I heard were just fireworks.

Lucky because cut on my foot is healing. Soak, medicine and sock!

Lucky because though it is going to be hot we have air conditioners.

Lucky because I have no obligations today. An adult snow day!

Lucky that I have books to read!

Lucky we have food and water. Need to drink some!
