i have a new favorite place to be
it starts and ends in the truck,
ben driving,
me in the passanger seat
happy as a little pea
maddie and isaac sitting side by side in the back seat,
sleeping on top of each other if they got too tired
it involves day packs, or bigger packs, or both
that's where our lunches and raincoats and sunscreen and cameras and maybe our tents
and water - lots of water - can be found
there might be a creek
or a bluff
or a swing
or a beach
or a place to set up our tents
there are for sure four Pattens all together
the way we like it best
and i have lots of stories for you all . . . i'm going to work at telling them . . .
happy Thursday to you, my friends.
love ~e
