You circle the date on the calendar. You count the days until you can leave. You just can't wait for that special date to arrive!

And then (you probably guessed it because it happens to you, too) … the time flies and that special weekend is over way too fast. 

This was one to remember, though. I'd get an 'A' in "Uses time wisely" if I still got report cards… catching up with friends, visiting with my parents, hanging out by a pool, taking lots of photographs… that was my weekend. 

So today, even as I stepped back into the swift stream of life, I'm playing catch-up on everything else – laundry, photos, blogs (both writing and reading)…

That's another problem with fun weekends, all that catching up afterwards.

But I'll be back with more, soon…

Hostess Rae and me in the pool…Thank you again, Rae!!

    They've seen better days! lol But great for providing shade on middle-aged faces! Much better than the ballcap I usually wear.

    I think it's proportional – the longer you plan it, the faster it goes by!

    Love the picture of us Barb…I don’t know what it is….It’s like I look at it remembering the little girls we were, and can still see a pinch of that in our faces, but I see these grown women with the (very small and few lines) and I just still know that same joy and passion is in our hearts! And how much we’ve been thru and where we’ve come from…It’s really kind of…shocking and beautiful, all at the same time!!! Lots of love and living in those faces and eyes!!!
