First of all - WELCOME SUMMERTIME!! Is anyone else as happy as I am about this new, glorious season?? I love the smells and sounds of summer - I encourage you all to walk outside tonight - listen to crickets and watch fireflies light up your yard - take it in - drink it up - enjoy! Bring it on heat - I love nothing more than playing at the lake, attending Braves games and enjoying the outdoors during this glorious time of year!
So much has happened over the past couple of weeks...
When I graduated from college, my best friends and I made a pact that we would get together every year and go on a trip somewhere. Over the past 3 years, we have held each other to it going to North Carolina, Florida and this year we went back to where it all happened - Clemson, SC! It was the perfect weekend - we played at the lake, ate at all of our favorite places (and by that I mean ate at Pot Belly Deli), sipped on cocktails and laughed a lot. It was perfect.
For those of you who don't know me - I love being spontaneous - keeps life fun and interesting! So last weekend I put my spontaneity to good use and decided (on Thursday) that I would drive up to Asheville, NC (one of my favorite places in the whole world) with my mom (on Friday) to help my sister get settled in as a counselor at Camp Greystone this summer. I was out of Atlanta for less than 24 hours - flying back Saturday morning - but it was such a treat to roadtrip with two of my very people in the whole world!
Qued up my CD for the summer - check! Yes - I still listen to CD's. There is something about making a CD that just makes me smile. Going through the archive that I have acquired over the past (give or take) 14 years of my life is so great! I can instantly go back to my sophomore year of high school with my, "My First Car" mix, and I would be lying to you if I said I didn't love it! Always random - always delightful.
