The Top Ten List

I haven't had time yet to make a filmstrip, so here is a handful of pictures "in the buff", so to speak. They were taken Wednesday afternoon during our unexpected and delightful discovery of Lake Erie State Park in the grape region of upstate New York.

Ready?

Top Ten Best Memories from the last 2 Weeks:

10. Bear's excitement at his and CD's capture of a dozen hermit crabs on the bay side of the Chatham beach.

9. The pale cream tan I almost have.

8. The announcement I made as I was finishing my last work call before we left - that my cell phone had broken I would be completely out of pocket for the next two weeks.

7. The realization as we drove home that I had actually left my job utterly behind.

6. The look on my mother's face when I left some Lobster go uneaten - because I was stuffingly, blissfully, FULL of seafood.

5. The feel of the granite beneath my fingertips when we finally found my grandmother's grave in the ancient Melrose cemetary.

4. The squeal and giggle of Bear as he and CD smashed into me full-speed during an early morning bumper boats outing.

3. CD and Bear hugging me when I had a small breakdown about how I looked in a bathing suit. And CD whispering in my ear "You're the most beautiful woman in the world to the two of us..."

2. Watching CD teach Bear how to skip rocks during an unexpected sunny afternoon at Lake Erie State Park.

1. My son, with water wings firmly on his arms, pushing off from the steps and swimming for the first time in his life - the length of a pool, several times!

And the nicest things about being home? Finding RED tomatoes in the garden, our comfy mattress and sheets to sleep on, high-speed internet (oh, how I love thee... Realtor.Com!), reconnecting with my blog, the blogworld, and my friends, and Not living out of a suitcase!
