Going Going...

I had a very extensive post that included pictures of things I didn't write about this summer and pictures of things I did write about though in more detail, BUT...

I've now lost all of it twice.

TWICE!

Maybe I've been edited by karma because here's what lasted:

This is the girl who has cancer who I didn't write much about:


And who relapsed right before the summer started and who had a bone marrow transplant right before summer ended. She is the blondest, bravest bald girl I've ever known. She is my cousin. She was the flower girl in my wedding. She is one of my best friends. I got to write about her (elsewhere) and house her parents when they needed it this summer. My daughter will be HER flower girl some day.

This is the ball I showed once. With the girl I kinda showed who caught the ball


on the day neither she nor me nor the Kid will ever forget.

I didn't write about the ridiculously real Tarot card reading I had but I bought this bracelet right after:



It says: "create your own destiny." I've worn it every day say since.

When I talked about our road trips, this is what I meant:



And this is how I felt feel about anonymous ? dudes



who hurt my precious feelings.

And this is what summer looks like





when it's going



and going






and gone.
