 ~Rondeau Bay~ When August arrives I can picture you there outside the cosy cottage in your favourite chair. Watching and feeding your hummingbirds and understanding the chipmunk's every word. Maneuvering Jessica 11 swiftly across the bay.. stalking last years small mouth that got away. Spotting the wind surfers handling the waves, while the teens on the dock catch a few rays. Our own 'summer olympics' every year 'Walking the log' always brings a big cheer. With medals and prizes we try hard to win.. having this much fun..why it must be a sin ! Evening meals may not be filet mignon..but juicy burgers go great with cabernet sauvignon. Someone quite special running 'round in the sun, calling out frantically..."More buns..More buns!" Many evenings are spent around the campfire.. never knowing what magic is about to transpire. We all listened and heard it loud and clear, Someone played the harmonica with his ear ! Our sons on their guitars put on a great show, And then there's magic, by 'the wiz' don't ya know ? Quiet talks and laughter as the hour grows late Wanting to stay forever, in this mystical state. Showy statuesque herons, the call of the loon Watching the sunrise..no sleeping till noon! Time flies so quickly...gee, I wish I could stay right here where I found...the magic of the bay. This piece of Heaven on earth you so kindly share Good friends such as you two...are so very rare. If some year I can't make it.. for some reason I can't come, Remember my spirit is with you..on the bay, in the sun. *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ ~ Dedicated to two very special friends.. Barb & Laur, for sharing the 'magic' of the bay ~ |

"Someone quite special running 'round in the sun, calling out frantically..."More buns..More buns!" ~ It was a good thing I had already finished my sip of coffee prior to reading this part because that sip of coffee would of been all over my monitor, keyboard, desk, etc. lol ~ Isn't it something how a special moment in time shared between friends can become the muse to write a memory that will last forever? Enjoyed! |

I think you unconsciously dedicated this to more people than you at first realized, m'dear... When August arrives I can picture you there outside the cosy cottage in your favourite chair. Watching and feeding your hummingbirds and understanding the chipmunk's every word. Yes, I think so. And I thank you so much for this beautiful dedication. |
