When my older ones were little and my hubby worked overtime, the park was like a sanctuary for me. We ate fruit for supper, tossed stones in the lake, and then I watched while my little ones ran and played. We all went home happy and relaxed.
beautiful... and betsy...how did you like that pink cake..ella got kind of carried away ...we used these tinting gel things from Wilton..that baking company...needless to say...a pin drop goes a LONG way...she LOVED it...
hello Betsy, I came through Brian's and I instantly felt in love with your blog. Or is it the strength that I felt from your lines? The strength that I sometimes need so much? Maybe both... anyway I wanted to say 'hi' and these are such a great ideas!! have a beautiful day.
Ok...looks like a bloggy reunion with cookies, ice tea and coffee..bring a book if you want and kick off your shoes! LOL! I think we're gonna need a few more benches. :)
Hmmm a walk in the park, certainly is a nice break in routine. Did it not so long ago and it was pleasant to say the least. Go kick a ball this weekend! Cheers :)

Kary ~ the pink was great...birthday cakes are supposed to be cheery, right? :)
ReplyDeleteBetsy, let's just park ourselves on that bench and be. Sounds lovely doesn't it?
ReplyDeleteChristian ~ absolutely! How about I bring some ice tea...brewed how you taught me? ;)
ReplyDeleteOh, the picture is a perfect compliment to the P-A-R-K. We have one nearby that is perfect for walking and getting away.
ReplyDeleteMay I sit awhile on your bench. Will you bring a cookie or two. I can bring coffee. How do you take yours?
ReplyDeleteTracey ~ that sounds lovely. Cookies for sure. Cream and sugar, please! ;)
ReplyDeleteYour poem is the perfect definition of time spent at a park. Great job on TT.

That park does indeed look peaceful. I am about to go off in search of my lost park, let's hope it is something similar.
ReplyDeleteA most serene place.
