Viva


Is it really almost the end of July?  Where has this summer gone?  I can't tell you how I've thoroughly enjoyed it.  The weather has been so beautiful.  Fortunately I've been indulging in some favorite summertime activities--cocktails on the porch, splashing in the pool, drives in the country, concerts, ooh ... and getting caught in thunderstorms.  

Speaking of concerts,  Coldplay was outstanding!  Aside from the heavy petting occurring right next to me, it was almost perfect.  One can't help but fall deeper in love with your best friend, boyfriend, girlfriend, spouse, children.  Chris Martin has this amazing presence, it's hard to take your eyes off him ... the modern-day Pied Piper ... irresistible. Thinking about it now makes me a bit sad it's over.  But seriously, the buzz in the air was contagious.  We were high ... high on Coldplay.  

And speaking of getting caught in thunderstorms, boy did I ever.  Why did I wear my suede moccasin boots yesterday (not to mention a tissue-thin mini dress, but that story deserves a good wine)?  So what's a sensible girl to do, but instinctively take her shoes off and ... run!  If I didn't have those particular boots or that particular dress on, I might have actually slowed to a walk.  I guess that's the fun of surprises and putting it simply ... living.
