I hopped on a plane and was on my way home. Then we hopped in a car, my mama and me, and we drove to the coast of paradise.
We looked down at the ocean from the front yard of our little cottage
and spent beautiful hours with our feet in the sand, reading and talking and thinking.
We enjoyed each other's company
and ate good food.
We painted pottery,
snacked on gelato,
and visited my favorite bookstore.
It was a lovely little trip about relaxation, fun, and friendship, and I'm ready to go again.
Anybody else on board with postponing summer's end? Let's make that happen. . .
