SUMMER

Tuesday, May 29, 2007

The first day of summer is not until June 21—according to the calendar. But according to me—summer starts today. For me, it’s always the day after Memorial Day. School is out, it’s 100 degrees or hotter (in Phoenix) I have been in the pool at least once, I have turned from basketball to baseball, I run the air conditioner day and night and I wear shorts every day.

Yeah, it’s summer alright and I love it. Is the livin’easy? I don’t know. At my age, just living is enough. I’ll enjoy the summer and look forward to the fall. So, don’t be asking me how hot it is. I don’t care. It is what it is.

Zip-a-dee-doo-dah, zip-a-dee-ay. My, oh my, what a wonderful day!
