In the Mood For Summer

Tonight is a date night for my love and I. We are heading off to do some food shopping. We will stroll the isles hand in hand and after we will have a leisurely stop at a sidewalk cafe on a hill that overlooks the city. The lights will be enchanting, they always are and we chat about the wonder of life while gazing into each others eyes as if no one else in the world existed. We have had nearly 30 years of these magic moments. All day long I have been planning what to wear just as if it was a first date. I am picking out the music for the drive, perhaps it will be Frank Sinatra, so perfect for setting a romantic mood. Love doesn't have to get old and stale.

Summer time is perfect time for romantic picnics in the park, even when you have small children. Romance doesn't have to be put on hold when there are small ones running around. Romance is in a look, in a smile, in holding hands or with that note tucked on his pillow, or in his wallet.

We never had baby sitters, maybe once or twice my mother watched Melissa when she was a baby. And Emery's mother baby sat on a rare occasion. The girls were with us, by our side, dressed up to go on a date with mommy and daddy.

Summer time always makes me think of sidewalk cafe's. Strolling hand and hand as the sun sets.

I am in the mood for summer time and all the fun it brings.
