hee hee hee! this is Fugitive, my sister and her family are in route to Florida today on the start of their vacation. She isn't around a computer so I thought I would post an update for you guys.
Have a nice afternoon - if you get bored you can drop by my site although if you are looking for "deep" thinking you will be disappointed. My sis was always the smart one. 
Whooo, Hooooo! It's JUNE!
As far as I'm concerned the month of June is like having an entire month of Fridays - one glorious Friday after another. June is my birthday, my son's birthday, the official start of summer, flag day, anniversary celebrations, wedding parties, Father's day, Emancipation day, Arkansas Statehood Day - Whooo, Hooooo!
June arrived here with a subtle hummmmm of insect wings. One of those beetles that probably have a long latinate name, but that we always have called a 'June Bug' flew up my shirt last night while I was walking the dog. I didn't notice at first. Not until the little fellow made his way up to my shoulder and rustled his wings did I realize that I'd picked up a passenger.
I remember when I was a very small child, the teenagers next door would catch June bugs and tie thread to their feet. Then they'd anchor the thread in a pop bottle and the bugs would fly around in circles on the end of the thread. The boys would have a little circus with a half dozen glass bottles and their captured performers. Today that strikes me as cruel. Back then I was amazed. The irridescent wings of the June bugs mesmerized my eyes, and I enjoyed the show.
June is green, lush, freshly mowed grass, flowers, lazy days, lemonade, ice cream, a Ferris Wheel, swimming, hickory smoke from the grill, light cotton dresses, and sitting on the porch talking while the lightning bugs flit across the way.
This year Tim is taking a two week vacation - starting this morning. Whooooo Hooooooo! We have him all to ourselves for two whole weeks! The boys have plans for their daddy - I have plans for their daddy ! It's June again! I'm a happy girl.
