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.
