[title] => A day to escape--
[time] => 2006-02-01 15:15:35
[hometext] => To take my mind off the abundance of rain we are having here, I wanted focused on a sunny day last November
[bodytext] => A beautiful, blue sky, full of sunshine and promises caressing the day Gave my sweetie and I a wonderful chance to escape and just get a way So we jumped in our Mustang convertible and quickly took the top down Although it was a tad bit chilly, we bundled up and wore not a frown With my camera in hand and the sun shining so bright on my face My sweetie behind the wheel--we took off to the beach at our own pace As we drove along, I held the camera firmly on top of the windshield And quickly snapped pictures happily as we drove past trees, river and a field Arriving at the beach, we roamed around all the gift shops to see what we could see But the grandest, "bestest" sight was standing watching the sunset and it was free The sun then surrounded us (and many others) with golden tones so mellow There was a brilliant path across the ocean that shone so pretty and yellow! All the cameras were clicking merrily catching the beautiful sight No one left their stations - not one of us wanted to miss the fading light Turning around and glancing behind at a window of a tourist shop The sight of the statue of Lewis and Clark mirrored the sunset's backdrop I'm sure many wondered why I took the pictures of that shop just then But it captured the beauty of the moment to share with my best friend As the sun proceeded along its well-known path to descend into the sea, All the colors brightened immensely to reds and oranges for all to see No one wanted to move on until the sun was completed with its bright show The cameras continued to record the scene that surrounded us aglow The suns final rays shone on the horizon and the show then came to an end Everyone just moseyed with the cozy warm feelings of being with a friend My sweetie and I strolled back to the car, not really in a hurry to end this day We felt God's wonderful blessing through the sunsine day and had to be on our way!
