The fog rolled in today.
We are almost through with the dreaded First Week Of School, but I was in denial. I thought we would have another month of summer bliss. I expected sunshine until bedtime, the beach after school, sitting on the grass until it's time to go to bed. All that is gone now. I am wearing a sweatshirt for the first time in three months. I am in mourning.
Here are the things I will miss about summer:
1. Didio's Blood Orange Italian Ice - a superfantastic summer treat, also good in their Iced Iced Tea. It has been replaced by the atumnal Pomegranate.
2. Marie Callender's peach pie. Get it while you can.
3. The glaring sun and terrible service at Back on the Beach. Sand in my Pasta Greco never tasted so good. We have lost one wedding ring and one pair of glasses at that restaurant, making it the most expensive restaurant we have ever been to.
4. White pants. I don't care if they make the junk in my trunk look lumpier.
5. Tan feet will turn white. If you have a nice pedi, all is forgiven, but all feet are strange, and they look better with a real tan. Preferably with a tan line from the sandals you have been wearing all summer.
6. Tomatoes. Goodbye ripe, sweet, juicy tomatoes. Hello mealy, syrofoamy, acidic replacements.
