SNOWBOUND...I know that we don't have it anywhere nearly as rough as Laura Ingalls Wilder, but good grief...enough is enough. I haven't left my building since Tuesday night. I know that is only 2 days, but when you live by yourself and you only see your neighbors if you happen to be in the parking lot at the same time (downfall to living downtown) it can get a bit lonely.
I have watched movies, cooked, cleaned, worked on a jigsaw puzzle, and contemplated life's uttermost mysteries (well, the ones that pertain to me) and I am tired of it all. I am ready for a windows down, stereo up, wind blowing through my hair and 75 degrees kind of day. A day where I take off driving down country roads turning left and right by which way looks prettier and not caring where it ends up. A day where you stumble across a little country store that still sells coke in a bottle and candy by the bag full. A day where I can reminisce about all the great summer days I spent with my grandparents and great aunt at her store.
Oh, to go back to the days when things were more simple. Back when snow days from school were looked forward to. Now, all I envision is a bill that may not get paid because we haven't had any business in going on 3 days. Yuck! I don't want to be a grown up anymore! Well, maybe 21 or 22 again. When I was still in college and didn't yet grasp the reality that was about to hit! LOL
So, here's to lazy summer days! May they be abundant this year to make up for all this crap weather we've had the past few months. May you take the time to make the most of them. Go for walk, swing on the front porch, go fishing, hit the lake, lay on a blanket and count stars...there are so many wonderful "little things" we take for granted. I hope you enjoy each and every one of them you are blessed to have.
God Bless,
Tammy
