After a fine dinner (corn on the cob, salad, barbecued chicken thighs), we all headed out for our "lollipop" walk. A nice gentle, short walk--on a warmish evening. The days are oppressively hot. Sunset brings relief.A good time to talk. Plan the next day. Jazmine rode her bike with Angel running beside her. We all laugh and smile. No cars. No generators blaring.
How much money is an evening walk, with no cars, totally still, totally quiet...while the breeze at the end of the walk kicks up; cool air sliding downhill off the taller Sierra. What is that worth?

So many of us never see the rubies strewn at our feet. A gentle stroll in the cool of a summer evening with those you love best in the world -- priceless!
It's great that you're aware of the meaningfulness of such a common event. Sometimes it's the simple things that make the strongest memories.
