The blooming flowers.
The Heritage tomatoes (that for you mommy).
The humidity.
The 100 degree heat index.
The tourists
The beach comes to life.
The sun burns.
These are just a few indications that summer has arrived here on the coast. This summer is already starting ou
t busy. Most weekends there is a BBQ or picnic to attend, not to mention maintain a normal schedule. For 4th of July weekend I have a hoard of family descending one my for Lunch at Paula Dean's restaurant Lady & Sons, a Louisiana Seafood Boil, Firew
orks and Cuban sandwiches on Parris Island as we listen to the Marine Corps Band. Then maybe rest.....Then the swim lessons begin. Every day for 2 months Monkey will have swim lessons on base. This means mommy will have to use her lunch break to pick Monkey up from Pre-school, go to swim class, turn around dry her and dress her and take her back to school and get back to work. By the time the swim class ends, It will be Monkey's Birthday and then Monkey will be starting Kindergarten. Oh dear.....this is the last summer my baby is still.....well....a baby. Wow, time sure does Fly.
This week over at Sprite’s Keeper: Spin Cycle, the topic is Summer Summer Summer Time! If you want to spin too, just start writing - don't forget to let Jen know over there.
I told Laufa and I'm telling you. I am SO jealous about Paula Deen's restaurant! Just stepping foot in that place gives you an excuse to eat the butter!
ReplyDeleteYour plans sound perfect and synch with mine for Sprite will also be taking some swim lessons this summer. I'm not aiming for her to do the breast stroke, just get herself to the edge if she falls in, which would help alleviate my fears some. :-)
Happy Summer!
