Bitchy and Sassy have spent these summer days working at the golf course, serving meals at the retirement home, shopping, partying, and basically avoiding their family at all cost.
Golden Boy and the Do-Good Brigade have appointed me resident den-mother. I've tried to tell them that during the summer I'd rather not have ANY thing to do with children. They refuse to listen.
And so, we spend our evenings hiking to this incredible spot to cavort with my good friends' amazing dog - and try to catch the fish that we see shooting out of the water each night.
Some days I think I've died and gone to heaven.
Yep, I'm pretty sure that Heaven......or maybe Iowa.
ReplyDeletewhat a perfect summer evening...yes it is heaven;)
ReplyDeleteSo for this extra "mother" duty they sprang on you, are you going to get an extra Mothers' Day as well?! You better!
ReplyDeleteAlmost looks like a scene from Huck Finn.

I have to say, "yes, you HAVE died and gone to heaven"! What a great escape and the pictures are just beautiful. I'm totally jealous! Enjoy those kids, they grow-up way too fast.
ReplyDeleteTake care, Sue

ReplyDeleteWhen it comes to the length-to-weight ratio, you might hear the words Balanced and End Loaded. So, what do those terms mean softball bats fastpitch?
