WELCOME AUGUST SUNSHINE:
Welcome to the month of August,
The sun shinning high in the sky.
August is a bitter/sweet month for me
And here's the reason why.
It was in this month
I became a bride.
Tears of happiness
My mother of course cried.
We wed on her birthday,
Sadly both hubby and her no longer here.
But I remember the happiness of that day.
Of that there is no fear.
May your August be happy,
May the sun shine on you all.
If you're going on vacation,
Simply have a ball.
It's the last month of summer,
Soon leaves will be falling from the trees.
So let us all enjoy the month,
Before sweeping up those leaves/

August has always been good to us. Most of our life changing events have taken place in August. I am a fan of fall, so I am waiting for September.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comment Gregg, September for me is another bitter/sweet month.

I have to say that August is great for me too, because it's technically the last month of winter. That said, we have't had nearly enough rain yet...
ReplyDeleteWe have had much rain and thunder, Thanks for your comment, hope you get the rain you need.

Summer goes too quickly! Mine's been great so far, but in a couple weeks I'll be back home leaving only memories behind me.

Have a nice August, Yvonne. Treasure the memories. I'm looking forward to fall.
ReplyDeleteThank you Beverly, once September is over (not so good memories) I will enjoy the fall.

The month of August does hold a lot of memories. Today is my Mom's birthday and later in the month it'll be my brother's first wedding anniversary. :)
ReplyDeleteA popular month for weddings , I speak from experience,

August will be a busy month here: vacation to visit family, my daughter's birthday, camps for the kids, school shopping. I expect it to fly by, but that's okay, I love it when the leaves turn color and all the wonderful holidays that come in fall.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your celebrations and shopping, Thanks for calling by.
