The summer of family and friends

More than ever, this summer (not on the big screens, he he) I've spent plenty of time with my family and my old friends. Is like I feel that I'm running out of time and I need to do some things that I'm not going to do maybe never this way, like something is going to happen soon to change everything. Is just a stupid feeling, but not a bad one.

You remember I've told you that not long ago one of my BFF had a nasty surgery and that, in a strange way, got us all together after a long time. All the time she spent in the hospital we were there almost daily to cheer her up and we went down the memory lane back were we met in college. We were catching up on lost time, making plans for her wedding, laughing and talking.

I've also went to the country side with my father and my brother, a place were I haven't been in 4 full years. I used to spent there few days in summer when I was little and I've always enjoyed that area with its vineyards and spectacular landscapes, and sunsets. This time it rained but we managed to pick up some sour cherries and to make a nice barbecue in the evening. It was pretty much fun to watch my daddy and my brother moving the barbecue grill from the garden to under the shed's roof and back, and forth for several times due to that nasty rain.

And then this weekend when we went on a long time planned trip to the mountain side with just family. I never thought I'll enjoy that much being with gran and I think she loved that mountain air, the cable car, spending time with us. And to my surprise my brother loved the CD I've made for his car specially for this trip.

Talking about the fresh mountain air, that reminds me of the skunk I've met while waiting at the cable car. I really hoped not to be in the same cable car with that stinky person, but as always happens, when you're afraid of something, that thing comes true. And the worst part except being in the same cable car with the skunk was that he was staying between the only open window and me, so when the wind blowed through the tiny little window, the nasty sweat scent was released in the air, like an awful fabric softener with step by step scent release.
