I am like Maria in 'The Sound of Music'. When Doug Says "What are you looking forward to?" The whole song goes through my head:
• Raindrops on roses - Well maybe hold the raindrops and make it Dew on Daffodils
• Whiskers on kittens - I'll settle for the Grandkids old barn cats
• Bright copper kettles - How about my own kitchen and stainless steel pots
• Warm woollen mittens - Might need those when we visit good friends at Buffalo Creek
• Wild geese - Canada Geese will do, I'm sure they're all flying home for the summer too
• Girls in white dresses in blue satin sashes - Obviously the 4-A's [Grand-girls] in blue jeans and tees will suffice
• Snow drops that stay on nose and eyelashes - I can do without, but maybe a few snowdrops under the big maple tree at the farm will still be blooming
• Brown paper packages tied up in string - I'll get to hand out a few packages to special people, but don't expect them to be wrapped!
The rest of the song escapes my mind right now, but I can add a few more favourite things:
Grubbing in the gardens.
Chopping wood.
My favourite recliner chair at Langley.
Saying "hi" to the exercise class, the quilters group, the church choir, our neighbours, the folks at work and most of all the family.
I look forward, also, to entertaining friends who are travelling from abroad to visit with us this summer.
Below is a photo of The Amsterdam Choir That gave a performance the other day. Fellette is that lovely lady in the front row, long dress.
We have two more sea days before Bermuda. 4 1/2 suitcases now packed. The sea has been like a mill-pond. Where is that wild Atlantic Ocean? Bathing suits out today, hard to believe.
