relaxing summer fun

Picture this: A big blue sky with fluffy white clouds slowly moving by, the sun so bright as it peeks in and out of the clouds offering shade now and then...green, green, green, everywhere - green trees, green shrubs, green grass...fully bloomed flowers of all colors...

Hear this: A lawnmower running nearby, the sound of children's laughter playing at a nearby playground, the music of an ice cream truck driving through the neighborhood, the birds chirping, and the calm of a beautiful day...




Feel this: the grass between your toes, the warmth of the sun's rays, the gentle breeze...














Smell this: freshly cut grass, a barbeque grilling nearby, the smell of the trees and flowers...

These are some of the many things I miss from home. I love visiting in the summer. I really took for granted all of the "average, everyday" things. Now, I am blessed to be able to visit and experience them every year.

I can't wait to:

~have a cook-out with my family


~eat lots of good food (that I miss)


~fill up the pool for my son to play in while we watch from the swing and then decide to join in the water fun


~walk with my hubby and son to the nearby playground and all of us playing on the swings


~feel the grass under my feet, see the big green trees, feel the warm sun on my face, hear the birds chirping


These are the things that truly make one feel happy and at peace. These are the things that make one truly feel relaxed. I'm very excited to visit my family this summer, and to have relaxing summer fun.


Even though it's another month away, HAPPY SUMMER!!!
