Lunch With the Girls

.                           "Listen first,.....to the voice in your head"




Okay, …if only we can catch the waitress’s eye, we could order more tea…
Can hardly believe it… Joan is still complaining about her in-laws

Peg interrupts, excusing herself to go to the ladies room
What was it she said about her husband burning breakfast? 
It must have been funny, since everyone is laughing…
----
          My eyes wander to the window….
          I see some geese in the sky
          Heading north...  Oh my, summer has gone so quickly…
          I must get the family together and go out to the lake one more time
          We'll take a picnic, and let the children feed the geese...
          I'll remember to buy day-old bread just for that,...
          but we'll have to watch the children..
          Last time one goose chased Suzanna, and she fell down, ....
          …made her cry,…poor thing
          It is so beautiful on the east shore….hopefully the water isn’t too cold
          Maybe the children can still enjoy a swim…yes…we must do that soon….
 
----               

Oops,  Peg's back from the Ladies......
I'll scoot over, to make more room,.....
Hmm..looks like she's done something different with her hair...   
Joan is still chattering about her weekend with the in-laws.....

----

          How I long to be back at the lake again….on the beach in the sun….

           Oh look there…just outside the window…
                   a whirlwind is gathering up a few leaves
           Already rust and brown…edges curled with the touch of autumn
                    Yes, ….summer has gone so quickly…
                    


....                  ....                ....                     ....             ....                  ....
