Time to Cry Tuesday – Summer

Life is hard.

Summer makes it less hard.

Sharing it with your good friends makes it downright worth living.

Throw in some beach, some pool, the best food, more laughs than I can remember and a sunset to die for.  And hosts that actually had earl grey, honey and ginger ale in the house for Gary, remembered how I took  my coffee after only serving it to me once and  I realize that I have no idea what ever made me think that life was hard in the first place.

A thank you bigger than we could ever express to the ‘Full Nelson’ for a fabulous 4th of July that truly felt like a vacation.

Toto, we are surely not in the basement anymore.

Traveling to another dimension

amy-at-the-beach

If you have wondered where I have been these past few days, I have traveled to another dimension. One that I rarely visit. 

Unplugged.

Yes, I know it is hard to picture me there. And to be perfectly honest I had a functioning blackberry so I could monitor email, blog comments, twitter and Facebook.But I chose to not participate for a few days.

It was Fire Island; synonymous with sea air, alcohol and dear friends that prompted my desire to just spectate. The only thing missing was a repeat performance from the cucumber plant that we witnessed last year.

Funny, I ran into friends on the beach who asked me what I was doing going for a walk and not blogging with the breaking news about Palin going on. I will leave her for another day. I only hope my Palin condom just went up in value with this new twist of the bizarre.

Have no fear, though. I shot over 100 images. I think this one is my fave. I will not be so lame as to make this a ‘where’s Amy?’ shot, because it is obvious. But this image captures the amazing place that I was. Both figuratively and literally.

Thank you Sam and Katie, for hosting yet another perfect weekend at the beach. This shot illustrates the inside, outside, sky, sea, sand, trees, architectural wonder that they call their beach home. 

Don’t I blend in nicely with the environment?
