Oh, summer...where did you go?
School starts next week for the kiddies, and I find myself musing on all of the grand plans we had for the summer...the mountains we would climb, the oceans we would explore, the worlds we would conquer...
...and I found myself reflecting on what we DID accomplish these past few hot, hazy and humid weeks....
...I huffed and puffed while hiking up a (small) mountain in Guatemala in mid-July, so I guess I did climb a mountain...
...we frolicked and splashed and refreshed in the Gulf of Mexico as we enjoyed our new house in Florida...so, I guess we did explore an ocean...
...and the worlds? We explored our own backyard, as we took the boat out for numerous tubing trips...
..I took my kayak out to explore deep, dark coves in the early morning, with only the buzzards and the blue herons for company...
...we tromped through a museum in Ft Myers that took us back to the days of Thomas Edison and Henry Ford...
...I played with children in a tiny, little church on a hilltop in the mountains of Guatemala, laughing and struggling with my pathetic attempts at Spanish and Cakchiquel dialect....
....we all delved into piles of books we had checked out at our local library, taking us to places we could only dream about...
....so...yeah, I guess we did explore the world...
We DID climb mountains...We DID explore oceans...and we DID conquer worlds...
What a great summer. We're glad to have had you.
Peace.
