counting down the days

How long ago was this photo taken?  I can't remember - before everyone used my fitness pal for sure.  I know this was the day we went to see Great Lake Swimmers in Vancouver.  I know we talked about the Honolulu Zoo.  I had knitted my first scarf because I am wearing it.

Soon - we will be altogether again.  All of us are different people now.  It will be a bittersweet vacation.  So much living has been lived.  Our children are growing up; some of them are moving out, some have moved out.  Our children are making their own decisions, good and bad ones.  My heart aches a bit for the past and yet I am certain there will be more good memories in the future.
