Walking past the neatly trimmed yards of a neighborhood, driving past the fields of wildflowers across this country, shopping at stores with baskets of fresh fruits and vegetables, the smell of freshly tilled soil, to quote an old song "These are a few of my favorite things."

Even in the busiest cities apartment balconies overflowed with potted plants and flowering bouquets. Our...
Lazy, Hazy, Crazy Days of summer... swimming, biking, and staying up late! Yes indeed Summer is the best season and mine were also filled with Packing, Moving, a New School, New Friends, then doing it all over again in just under twenty-four months. This was my life since I was born. I didn't mind too much as Mom made it all fun and Dad's career took us to some great places.
