Allow me to extend my warmest welcome. You seem the type to bask in such salutations. Isn’t it you who always says, “The warmer the better”? Well, I couldn’t agree more and I’m delighted you’re here. Thank you for bringing the parades and fireworks with you! How did you know they were my favorites? Oh, and let’s not forget the flip flops and fishing trips. My my, you are thoughtful. I’m beside myself with anticipation for all the other surprises you have hiding in that suitcase of yours. So please, cozy in and make yourself at home. The refrigerator is stocked with lemonade and popsicles, the pantry with graham crackers and marshmallows–the fire pit can be set ablaze at your beckon call. We can indulge in s’mores til the moon sets. Oh I really am so happy you came for a visit. Now I’ll let you settle in. But don’t hesitate to ask should you need anything. I’ll just be in the backyard, running through the sprinkler.

With sincerest adoration,
Krista

p.s. and may I just say … you’ve never looked better! So full of sunlight! You’re glistening! (are you seeing someone? Did November finally glance your way? Ahem, pardon my prying. We can talk later.)
