promises to keep

with the start of (oh my) August time is picking up pace. speeding by. not looking back. and definately not waiting for me. so I must make it wait. or at least take advantage of every moment it has to offer. yes, please.

tonight will be a good start. the usual suspects. the gaggle. the gang. the peeps. we're going out to dinner. and that is a good way to start the month that ends summer.

and August holds more in store. a first birthday celebration for the grandbaby. a trip to sunny CA to visit. a bunch of unfinished projects finally getting off the ground (stalled by my own procrastination). a bunch of new adventures. and a promise to call. invite. attend. enjoy your company. see you soon. yes, promise.
