Crrrrrraack! Tingtingting! Is that the ice dispenser I hear?
Run down the hall, from under Josie’s bed
Skid to a halt and plead with eyes
Open mouth and receive icy goodness
Opal and Ice
summer
Arnold or Annie
My husband pours orange juice and tea into a glass full of ice.
“I can’t believe you’re doing that. That looks so gross!” I say.
“It’s called an Arnold Palmer,” he takes a chug.
“Arnold Palmer is ice tea with lemonade,” says his father Ken.
“Oh yeah,” my husband takes another sip.
“You’re drinking an Annie Palmer,” Ken laughs.
Our Vicious Pitbull, Opal
Listen, we go through this every May. I have to close the door after you go out in order to keep the flies and mosquitos from coming in. No need for you to get anxious and insecure. Just go out there and do your business. I’m right here. And remember, this is our routine until it gets cool again. When is that? It won’t get cool again until probably early November.
Last Day 5/26/16
Goodbye classroom
Hello swimming pool
Goodbye homework, quizzes and stress
Hello summer reading and TV watching
Goodbye morning alarm and peanut butter sandwiches for lunch
Hello singing birds and new recipes
Goodbye fatigue
Hello rejuvenation
Kismet
