I had to do an AUGUST acrostic about wearing on Friday. It was something that popped in my head, the lines etc...as I sat having a few afternoon drinks. The second AUGUST piece came to me as I thought about having a cherry popsicle. I always had one when possible as a kid during the summer. We had what is called mom and pop stores in different neighborhoods in the area where I lived in Chicago. One area I lived in had a park about five blocks away where I’d ride my bike afternoons during the summer. I’d meet up with other kids and one the way home I’d purchase a popsicle at the mom and pop store. Another favorite summer activity was roller skating. I remember strapping on those old metal skates to my shoes then use the key to tighten them. I tried to get as much fun into the days of August as I knew returning to school not to far behind.
I reflected this morning on it being the last Friday of the month. Where did the month go? What did I do? Like all months since this pandemic began they just roll one into the next.
It’s Friday so enjoy the day; wear your red to remember everyone deployed.
Until tomorrow....try to think about your August days as a kid; and as always Stay Safe.

August 28th....DAILY REFLECTIONS
Last Friday of August....another month
almost gone....what did I do exciting
these past 28 days
I reflect that I did errands....ate out where
other people gathered four times....not
just stopped for take out
I also tried a few new things to eat
and drink....read quite a bit....did a daily
blog....nothing out of the norm for me
Oh it’s Friday....Day for the wearing of the
RED....Remember Everyone Deplored

Always I wear a red shirt on Friday to
support our troops
Until they are all safely back home, I will
continue to don my red
Going out or staying inside, a red shirt is
what I will wear to support our troops
Until they are all safely back home, I will
continue to don my red
Seems like a small gesture on my part to
show my support to our troops
Till they are all safely back home, I will
continue to don my red
Remember
Everyone
Deployed

As I have my morning coffee, I reminisce on
my youth
Under blue skies of August I’d enjoy
summer afternoons
Going to the park on my bike to enjoy the
monkey bars, teeter totter and swings
Usually stopping at the neighbor store for a
cherry popsicle before heading home
Skating on the sidewalks, the old metal
roller skates strapped to my shoes
Those carefree days of August enjoyed,
before heading back to school
