Lazy, Hazy, Crazy Days of Summer.

Remember those wonderfully warm summer evenings when all you had to do was hope and plan and dream?  Remember how wonderful to sit on the grass or lie on your back and just watch the clouds roll by?  How wonderful to be a kid in the summer time.  Forget the hassles of school, the homework, the occasional unfriendly teacher, the class bully, the teenage angst and just drink in the LAZY summer evening.  Ahhhhh.

And the HAZY mornings with a slight chill in the air.  But all is well as you snuggle down under the covers and dream of ….whatever you wish!

Unfortunately, the tent has to come down today.  Not running the sprinklers is beginning to take its toll and I can only imagine the smashed grass under the tent.  The good thing here in the Pacific Northwest is, within a few weeks, you’ll never be able to tell there was a problem.  And it was worth it besides.

And then there’s Crazy!!  After a tough day of dreaming and swimming and hanging out, there is Shave Ice to enjoy….

More crazy… (the obligatory pool toss)

And if that’s not crazy enough….


Ah yes, those Lazy, Hazy, Crazy days of summer…they are over too fast.  Hope you are enjoying yours as I am enjoying mine.

  6. I love to watch kids when they are having fun like that. It's total chaos when my kids and grandkids are over. My eldest son's girls say they have a normal grandmother and a "cool gramma". I am the latter, I'm afraid. I don't ask whether that's good or bad. :)

  7. Having the grands around always makes us feel young again. But after they go home we are glad we are the Grandparents and not the parents. Enjoy them and all their energy while their young.

    It's about time.

    1. They all go home on Friday. The boys haven't been here every day but they are joining us tomorrow and we are loading six kids, one dog, and two old grandparents into the motorhome and going for an all day picnic. WHEW!! If you don't hear from me again, you'll know why...
