I just love the words you write. I am so late, but so happy to have found such a special blog. Thanks for the smile.

I once read the following by Tom Stoppard:

“Words are sacred. They deserve respect. If you get the right ones, in the right order, you can nudge the world a little.”

Your final paragraph is proof of Stoppard’s observation.

I sure do like that notion of nudging the world a little.

take care,
muddy

Coming up for air… just for a moment… to take in the wide view and say thanks for the lovely post, Marilyn.

Oh my – does that make we who comment here blogger’s eye enablers? I sense a 12 step group in the offing. People who love people who blog too much. Or something like that.

I won’t argue with your daughter (mostly because I know a futile cause when I read one) but I’ll agree with Meg, that bacon looks tasty to me. AND I love the contrast between the tiny colorful rock and your jeans threads.

All that said – the photo sequence of the rock skipping is perfection. Oh yes indeed. Yes to your blogging eye and another catch in the throat Yes! to your wide view, Marilyn. Yes, yes yes.

Yay! That’s all I wanted to say. Well, that and please put that photo series in a super mega little special book for Josie.

Glad Greg made it into the picture:) A photo-illustrated novel – now there’s a thought. As always your story is compelling and unique, and I love the change of pace to B&W.

Spent a brief time on the Lake Michigan beach this summer with my daughter and my cousin, the hibachi chef of beach days (she has all the equipment in the trunk at all times). Your post captured the rightness of beach time.
Liked the bacon picture, as well.

Lovely, my dear. Lovely. I second the notion of a novel…

I loved reading your word picture. You artfully piece together a word picture for us to see, and though we see through your words, we see the rest through your photos. Thanks for sharing special moments.
