Summer Time

When I was working, summer time was always special. In the early years when I didn't get paid in the summer it was a special time know as the starving time. Money had to be saved LOL all winter and then stretched over the summer. I ate so many hot dogs it was pathetic. Cereal, hotdogs, bread and cheese was the shopping list. I prepared for the upcoming school year in the cool of the night and enjoyed hot days with my son. We did everything together. I so enjoyed that special time before he got too old to hang out with mom.

Now I am retired and the check comes every month but summer is still special. the grandchildren are off school and the little guy still wants to hang out with MomMom. We do everything together. The young lady will still spend time with us. The 13 year old has become too grown for MomMom. That is ok. He is becoming independent and is a wonderful young man.

I hope I live long enough to have special summer time with great grand children. They make life new again.
