Summa, summa, summatime...ooooo Summatime.
Today is the Summer Solstice, the official start to summer. This might be why I'm in such a good mood today. Growing up with two teachers as parents summer was much more than sleeping in and playing all day. It was the beginning and end of our family's year. It wasn't until I got older that I realized not all parents got 3 months off to swim, camp, BBQ, and travel. Summer was everything at 603 W. Columbia St. For the Pinkstons summer really was a Country Time Lemonade ad...and I loved every minute of it. Despite the fact that now summer doesn't mean freedom from work or responsibilities like I once thought it did, there is still a taste of escape that will always get me excited. And even if it's doesn't happen. Even if I can't take fun vacations, or get to a beach, or lay by a pool, summer will represent a little less clothing and a little lighter baggage. It will mean flirting a little more. It'll mean drinking a little more. It will mean being naked a little more. And it will mean just feeling good a little bit more. Happy Summer All!
