I took a photo through a latice and like the distance on it!

Reading ebooks and listening to audio books while in the studio

watching Big Brother... great summer entertainment... anyone else want to discuss strategy?

Our conversation starter this week 

did you or do you keep a diary? what kind of things did you put in yours? ever have a summer crush or vation romance? 

I started about 6th grade with a traditional child's diary, with a tiny key. I wrote daily telling what happened, who I had a crush on, what I did, how school went. I remember loving the process, and hiding the diary since my mother was a snoop. 

I romanticized life, so yes summer crushes happened. 

I often spent a month with my sister's family, and when she lived in Washington Indiana I fell for her neighbor's son, who was older than I was by a year. He was 14 and soooooo handsome. Our two families often hung out in evenings, the kids played and chased lighting bugs.  We rode bikes together and talked and I pretended he was my boyfriend. 

I met a guy at beach week after high school graduation, and we had a summer romance but he wanted more than I was prepared for then. Still.... 

so many crushes over the dam, summer flings. 

I fell for a guy I met while staying with my friend's family at their beach place... he was tall and skinny, I had such a crush on him, he juggled, and worked at the newspaper office, and it lasted the summer.

"see you in september"
