you and i—
we played like a kid
again
in my sister's back yard.
you and i—
we spent a day
with a dear friend
and her daughter
at the pool—
it was her first season with you.
you and i—
we bought more flowers
than we used to
and stopped
to take a closer look
and appreciated
your Creator.
you and i—
we made a pact
with our best friend
to spend more time together.
and we did—spend more time together.
we laughed with her,
enjoyed coffee with her, too.
laughed some more
and caught her unaware.
you and i—
we walked down damen ave.
exploring my husband's
brother's neighborhood
and went to farmers' markets
and had fish-n-chips
with strangers
on a warm night
in downtown crystal lake.
you and i—
we wore flip-flops
as much as we could,
ate tomato, basil and mozzarella
as long as you would let
the basil and tomatoes grow,
became paparazzi
at a friend's
wedding,
wrote a song
with my husband,
and took naps
in the sun lit rooms
of my house.
you and i—
we went to a cubs barbeque
and hang out with friends
who might have had
a few beers
but had fun none the less
you and i—
we watched His sunsets
together
each one
more beautiful
than the last
{usually while i was driving home from work—
but that's okay—still every bit as beautiful}.
you and i—
we drove to places
through summer storms
out in the country
with a pouting chauffeur.
you and i—
we went to an outdoor concert at ravinia
like i promised we would
and sat under the lights
to hear good music
with good wine
and good food
and great friends!
you and i—
we went to the zoo
together
for the first time
in about 20 years
to see camels
and gorillas
and flamingos
and mountain goats

Summer is starting on my side of the world and you have inspired me to do all those promised things... Thank you.x
that was so beautiful! thank you for sharing your perspective!
Oh, I just LOVED looking at these! It looks like you had such a wonderful summer. Hopefully Fall will bring more of the same.
everyone should be able to purchase a pair of "Georgia Glasses" and wear them all the time, to see the world the way you do.
about this, i do not joke.
I am in awe by your photos, and your writing. You have inspired me to see things differently. Thank you.
