Hello, Summer

this year I will savor you. I will walk a little slower. I will diddle in the morning to the Today Show. I will enjoy you. I will grill out. I will lay in the hammock and read.

Joys from the first day of summer...

1) waking up at 7:30

2) 2-hour glorious, beautiful, exploring bike ride with Jenna

3) sitting outside under the Pines shooting the breeze with my parents

4) laying in the hammock reading (working toward my summer goal)

5) taking water aerobics with Daddy and some colleagues...we did the Cupid Shuffle with water weights...it was a sight to behold.

6) eating grilled chicken, pasta salad, and smores...summer food

7) waiting for Ellen to arrive to celebrate her survival of Grad school and mine of my first year of teaching

Moral of the Story: Summer 2010. Let it begin.
