some of the best moments of summer

Scene:
Swimming at a creek behind a friend's house with my G (my dear, new friend- the drummer in the boy's band).

Fuel:
white wine
smoke... of the adventurous nature
a full feast at the end (hot dogs, corn, pasta salad, potato salad, green salad, chocolates to follow)

Adventures:
Jumping in the water, Huck and Tom style.
Drinking wine down the face of a rock.
Building a stack of rocks (surprisingly difficult) which was eventually called Cousin Jemima the Mediating Monks (as in Aunt Jemima, the syrup).
Watching empty wine bottles race down the waters (encouraging them all the way). Boat name, sweet molasses. Captain name (rock put inside), James. He was NOT a good captain, often getting lost in water swirls...
Using water rushing down rocks as a massage bed, getting lost looking at the clouds.
Attempting to skip rocks, something I still can't do.
Laughing.
Basking in the sun just before jumping into the cool water.


A lovely day. A true summer experience. Perfection.
