Making My Days Happy: I'm back.........................

I wish I could write today and tell you that I have been on a long vacation to some tropical paradise or to a remote village in some far away land but the truth is I have been here (or not here in this blog space). Summer came and captured me and the kids up. It didn't seem like summers past, where we would soak our toes in the beach water, hang around at play grounds, or just sit quietly and enjoy thumbing through a book in the summer sun. It seemed busy this year, busier than our usual pace. However, the only thing we seemed to do a lot of this summer was lick too many ice cream cones. Oh, how those homemade ice cream stands draw you in. I couldn't resist the temptations this summer and I think I sampled more flavors than I needed to. Now that summer has past and autumn has arrived, I feel like the pace has slowed a bit. I decided to start journal-ing again in my little space. Here are some random pictures from our summer adventures.
