back to work: ho hum

I just got back from my summer vacation. A week back home in lovely Colorado.  Well my first home anyways.  It was wonderful but flew by too fast. 

I always try to take mental memories.  Taking in as much as I can while I'm home.  Trying to remember the smells, the sounds and the voices.  My dad always sitting in the sun reading the newspaper in the red chair.  My mom cooking in the kitchen and asking my cat what he wants for lunch.  My sisters laughing with their husbands.  The sound of the geese on the lake.  The way the sun glitters through the willow tree. 

The smell of summertime.
