The plan was that the scrap book album of our summertime vacation was to take two weeks to complete, the girls and I were to devote those two weeks to getting it done, period, finis. The project is still spread upon the entire surface of my dining room table. It seems the girls did not "have the vision" I had...sounds familiar...so I trudge on, almost at the finish line though. Today I worked on it for the greater part of the day.
I also made some soup with fresh corn and potatoes. First, I sauteed shallots and garlic in olive oil, tossed in some chives, thyme, parsley, salt and pepper along with the red potatoes, and then added chicken stock pulled from the freezer. The fresh corn cut from the cob was added after the potatoes were almost tender. It will make a delicious supper.
I received a letter today. This friend and I continue to write to each other, we have been doing this for close to twenty years.
Do you see the date? She began the letter in May and just discovered it unmailed, in late July! She just continued on writing and sent it along with a knitting pattern for a scarf.

It's a special gift to have a friend who writes such letters, and who is down-to-earth enough to send one that got "lost" for a couple of months. Such missives are never out-of-date! Keep hold of your summer.:-)
Oh how funny! I do that sort of thing, myself. I still have to mail a birthday card to a friend. Her birthday was June 29th. :/.
I am wanting the cooler weather to stay around a bit longer, and I know in about two weeks, I will be eager for Fall to return. I think that's my favorite season. Unless you count Spring, a little of Winter, and Oh Yeah! Summer. ;)
Summer is my favorite season so if you get yours to slow down tell me how you did it.
How wonderful to get "snail mail"! I am lassoing summer as much as possible too. I love summer, but I also love autumn, so it's not all bad.
Blessings to you!
