Simple Pleasures

 


A brisk sea breeze after another unseasonably hot muggy day in the 90's....
Watching a little girl chase sandpipers...she runs as fast as she can as her arms pump back and forth with the effort....the birds run faster then fly away from the 3-year-old tornado....she laughs and looks to makes sure her grandmother is close by....

A beautiful sunset...pink underscores the darkening clouds...

The sound of the surf....endless...eternal....reassuring....never changing....

Back home there is a shower with much giggling and "I do it!"....shampoo and suds....

Cereal and milk....fruit....toast.....

Dancing to the Backyardigans CD....those soft little arms pumping again...."Dance with me, Grenah!"..."do your arms like this, Grenah!"

Bedtime will come and we should both sleep well.....

  1. Wish you'd gotten a picture of Grenah dancing in backyard and doing arms "like this".

  2. We were dancing to the BACKYARDIGANS and we were not dancing in the backyard. They are cartoons that play on Nickelodeon and I never heard of them until about 2.5 years ago! They sing and dance on their show and both Kinsey and Noah love them. We went to bed at 9pm and finally fell asleep around 11pm. She hogged the bed. sigh. Tonight I will sleep in the middle of my own bed!
