Packing my suitcase, again
Seeing the sad face of my cat, who knows my lap won’t be available for “cat naps” for awhile
Trying to remember all the ” must-do” things, on my few days at home
Slowest internet known to man (or woman)
Feeling, somewhat, cut off from friends and family
Living with children 24/7, instead of having my usual, quiet, alone time
Trying to get things done via computer with the slowest internet known to man (or woman)
Another road trip…3.5 hours up….3.5-4 hours back
The frustration of summer road construction too often
But it is also…
Sleeping in “my” blue room. Two walls of windows with a treehouse-like feel
Lounging by the pool and calling it “work”
Meals on the screened in porch
Endless variations of sunsets…trees silhouetted against the dying glow
The views of the constantly changing lake water…from white caps to a glassy smoothness
The moments with any given child, when we play a game or read a book, snuggled on my big bed
The hush of the dusk, children in bed, the endless sunset, reflected off the water
The days are fleeting. The scenery will change.
(Shhh…there are already a few brash red leaves in one of the lakeside trees. I try not to notice…)
Summer, stay a bit longer.
