I know I was offline just a week ago, but this is summertime. Mmmm, summertime…
Summertime,
And the livin’ is easy
Fish are jumpin’
And the cotton is high.*
Yes, well … ::clears throat and apologizes for singing off key:: … I don’t really enjoy fishing, and there’s no cotton growing around here, but I’m sure you get the idea. I’m taking a refreshment break, staying offline for a bit, and hopefully finding extra time to work on a couple writing projects. I’ll return to blogging on August 27th.
* Summertime Lyrics: George Gershwin
~
The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing.
He makes me lie down in green pastures,
he leads me beside quiet waters,
he refreshes my soul.
Psalm 23:1-3a NIV

Enjoy the last of the summer days. I look forward to your return.
Now that song is going through my head, “summertime, and the livin is easy……..love it! Think I’ll retire to the screen-room with a glass of fresh brewed sweet tea, and put my feet up….yup, summertime……..
Hope all the days of your vacay continue to be loverly
Photographer is coming this a.m. to take pics for listing…We still are not all unboxed so pics will be interesting…say Hi to family back east (is there a “back” east…hummm. Stay safe. mE
Happy retreat time, Carol.
Enjoy your break, Carol. Sometimes I think 6 months might be long enough, but that’s way too long for the blogosphere.
