summer souvenirs

With Summer vacations about to come to an end, one way to hang on tight to the memories are to create your very own Summer albums as a souvenir keepsake.
A binder can be a great way to collect all the little pieces of paper from one's travels. This can provide a great reference for future travels. I love to look back and see what things cost and what places you want to return to. I keep a zip-lock bag on my trip and at the end of the day drop the receipts and any notes to help jog my foggy bottom brain, so when I get home, I can arrange photos and snippets in an organized fashion.

sunday shelf - love

Signs of love on the rocks slowed me down this morning and made me smile.

More unconditional love greets me on my back porch.

hello bentley

Warm rays of dappled sunlight cast thier luminous glow to show me more love.

Even the chair spoke to me and said, come sit and let me give you some slow love.

It sure helps to slow down long enough to see signs of love around you.

It also helps to have this book to read today.

What signs of slow love are on your Sunday shelf?

Summer is a time to read, to escape, to kick back, relax and to find humor and sweetness in life.

What is on your arm now and what are you reading this summer?

Wishing each of you a light breeze, warm waters and wings to spread and to soar. Take flight, enjoy this day. My photo reminded me of one of my favorite books below.
