A perfect summer lunch

Fresh from the garden.
Enjoy!

Taking a blogging break....

.....to enjoy the last bits of summer!

And they said it wouldn't last...

On Monday, August 10th it will be my 33rd wedding anniversary. Did I just write that? 33 years?!

That's right. I will have to use the cliche "Where has the time gone?" I can't believe how wise I was that many years ago when I said "YES"to my fiancee's proposal while watching the international hit movie Godzilla vs. King Kong on television. (So romantic)

I love you. Happy Anniversary!

Wonder if you can still find a copy of that old black and white film? I remember it being a Japanese movie with English subtitles....but that's all I remember :)

One last time down the old dirt road

Next weekend will be the last and final time we travel back to Gopher Hill Place, down this familiar dirt lane. It will be bittersweet, to say the least.

"There's nothing like the scent

of rain on a dirt road.

Settled dust seeping

in rivulets off the leaves.

The storm departs with

distant rumbling, and

our bare feet tell

tales of our passage."

-exerpt from the poem, 'Down The Old Dirt Road' by Dallas D'Angelo-Gary

We will close this chapter of our lives, and tuck the book of memories under our arm to carry with us forever.
