Your words ring true, your voice is unique and I don't believe #14 needs to be followed, I don't believe it's true that you are lazy, you may need to look for a better word, and adjust the list or range of possibilities. Oh, I see, lazy, ha! #22 I'm so happy for Ivy and Azalea, they are fortunate. You often bring a smile to my face and lift my spirit. Thanks tail end!

For that, you get a free signed book, so let me know where to send, and I'll either get that out today, or in two weeks when I return from book promo tour. I secretly love that it's you, because I'm so inspired by what you do on She writes, and your blog, AND I am a Wisconsin lover deep in my being. More soon I hope. Keep in touch. yrs.

Lately the social nets have been buzzing with the sound of school preparation while I lay back lazy and content not worrying about bedtimes or alarm clocks.

I love that you treasure the lazy last days of summer. Ours have been spent spinning getting ready for school to start. It makes me sad. We can still take that bike ride I promised my son last week, but it won't be the last ride of the summer. It will be a school-year bike ride, which isn't the same.Susan Bearmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14991968368214219371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3866085978419509606.post-30086846135513892732010-08-30T20:26:00.467-07:002010-08-30T20:26:00.467-07:00Thank you, Rachel.

I loved going to the grocery store riding on the bottom of the cart eye level with nothing but legs and feet. <br /><br />I'm almost certain that's how my kids spent the month of July around here, basking in the cool of central air and running across the ceiling. I was on the ceiling by the end of the heat wave.Victoriahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09849650119285773009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3866085978419509606.post-91511188360228415332010-08-30T14:46:47.468-07:002010-08-30T14:46:47.468-07:00Lovely.

Your posts take me to another place. <br /><br />I shared a similar childhood--hangin w/ my mom & sis, my entire summer days spent inside the cool, air-conditioned walls where outside the hot desert air would have broiled us like lizards. Inside was boring. Inside was cool. Inside was safe.<br /><br />A trip to the grocery store was so exciting. It's a wonder now, looking back on it, that we ever let our mom take us back to the house. I think we would have lived there if we could.RachelintheOChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04267004751083007541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3866085978419509606.post-53798725105217059492010-08-24T07:35:30.411-07:002010-08-24T07:35:30.411-07:00Thank you, ladies :) My laptop still travels durin...Thank you, ladies :) My laptop still travels during the day, but when there is a chance to stop I'm glad to have a place to land.
