The time of your life

What an eventful summer, we didn't go anywhere for a change, and that was OK. It was great to stay home and concentrate on the yard and house. We had a lot of company, (overnighters and day trippers.) BBQ's and dinners and a lot of laughs.
There were babies born, there were milestones met and some opportunities pounced on. New people met, old people re-met, but all good people.
The gardens flourished, a metric tonne of books read, a tanker of beer consumed and through the magic of cornflake crumbs the best burgers....Ever.
Beer can chicken, potato salad, caesar salad and rib steaks.
Booker Todd discovered cherry tomatoes and the cats all lost weight. The strawberries were plump and so was I, but that's OK too.
Tino, Copper, Belle, Daisy, and Miss Pixie.
We discovered the *soap trap* and the old chicken coop, so my yard still has surprises even after eight years.
The pool was clear and so were my priorities. I don't want it to end.
Fall is creeping up on us as I write this, it's time for Booker Todd's check-up, and time to look into new tires for my speedy-go-fast-red -car. There's fire wood to order and vents to vacuum out.
I can't wait to stay home again next summer.


Another turning point;
a fork stuck in the road.

Time grabs you by the wrist;
directs you where to go.

So make the best of this test
and don't ask why.

It's not a question
but a lesson learned in time.

It's something unpredictable
but in the end it's right.
I hope you had the time of your life.

So take the photographs
and still frames in your mind.

Hang it on a shelf
In good health and good time.

Tattoos of memories
and dead skin on trial.

For what it's worth,
it was worth all the while.

It's something unpredictable
but in the end it's right.
I hope you had the time of your life.

It's something unpredictable
