At the Beach

I can’t believe it is the last week of school!   The school year seemed so long when I was a kid.  Now, it feel like it passes in the blink of an eye.  We are busily making plans for fencing camp, horseback riding, staying with Grandma and visiting family in Virginia.  

Once again, a Whimsy & Stars Studio image made me think of my daughter.    Although we don’t live near an ocean, we do not live too far from Lake Michigan.     I grew up about 30 blocks from the lake but now live about 20 miles away.  I am still amazed at how different the weather can be when you are at the lakefront.  On Memorial day, it was over 80-degrees at our house.  We drove down to the lake front to take a walk and it was just 60-degrees.   So, to get to the point, I won’t be surprised to see my daughter dressed like this, down at the lakefront over the summer.

I agree it does remind me of your daughter so sweet and ready for to hang by the water. Your stitching on your cards is amazing. My mom tells time races by because of age, I refuse to believe that is the reason :)
