First day of Summer

June 21, 2023, the first day of summer and I am at home nursing a sunburn. While having too much fun walking and talking while in the pool with friends, six hours flew by. Without thinking, without sunscreen I went home and took a cold shower and saw my lobster red skin. Not all sun…

Moments to Appreciate
