I WISH this is what it looked like this year! But no, everything is still snowless. Global warming?! (This picture is from 2010.)

Comfortable Evening

My mom and my sister and I walked around the block. We watched sprinklers and kids and looked at neighborhood landmarks. Then we did our chores and had a nice dinner of spaghetti with homemade sauce. For dessert, we filled the car with blankets and drove to Sonic, where we ordered Sonic Blasts and milkshakes. We peeled off the Limeades for Learning stickers so we could go on their website the next day.
Then we took a little drive around other parts of our neighborhood. We saw teenagers partying at the Lakeview Pool and fancy houses at Stephen's Manor. Then mom showed us some of the houses that she thought were interesting. Then we went home and brushed our teeth. My sister and I ran downstairs, hoping that Mom would let us stay up later.
She did. That night, we talked and talked until out mouths hurt. We laughed at old photos on the digital frame. We waited for Mom to whisk us upstairs, but she was so caught up in the talk that he forgot about the time.
We finally headed up to our bedrooms many minutes later. We fell asleep and dreamed about the comfortable evening.
