Blue Jeans and Bare Feet

Five days of blue jeans. Five days of bare feet. My mini-vacation is surely a treat. It's sunny and warm and summer is near. The chair on the deck is calling "Come here !" All thoughts of my job are pushed out of my mind. If this isn't heaven it's the closest I'll find. With coffee and book, jeans and bare feet, onto the deck the morning to greet. Toenails are painted, twinkling in the sun. Rest and relaxation, my idea of fun. ~~~~by Francine Roberts~~~~ 06/06/2011 for nette onclaud's "It's in the Jeans" contest

Now the only difference between you and me: I am out on the deck in super shorts trying to tan my legs! And with a cold coke instead of coffee. But those bare feet gotta have 'em! Congrats on your awesome blue jeans poem, Francine.

Wow, you even had time to polish your toenails, Francine. Hope your time off was just as enjoyable as you describe here. It's too hot here to wear jeans, but I bet you're enjoying reading on your deck. Best wishes in Nette's contest! Love, Carolyn

LOVE IT! I used to have a deck...and five days....and I used to read, too! :-) Now we moved so I can be a stay at home mom with my monkey girl... now its a park near by ...all my days....and board books and bubbles...both 'lives' made me happy, but this one has better benefits: hugs, giggles, sloppy kisses and the best company in the world. Still, I liked that time on the deck...ah, yes, and the books...Francine this is sure to place high. Thanks for bringing me back there! Nice treat,indeed
