Escape

Summer will soon be in full swing. People everywhere are traveling to fabulous vacation spots, spending a few lazy hours reading by the pool, attending outdoor get-togethers, lounging on the porch, skipping rocks by the creek banks, lazing on the docks, casting lines in the river, wading in the surf, and strolling through gardens.

In the summertime, we tend to take things more slowly, inhale more deeply, and enjoy each day more fully. Summer beckons me to get my suitcase out, pack my sunglasses, tanning lotion, map, sandals, swimwuit, shorts, sundress, and a beach tote. Can't wait to soak up the sun someplace closer to the equator. Not too picky where, just want to have a summertime escape.
