Summer

August 8, 2006 by MoPat.

My dear friend Sandy just was in WNY and we agreed that we Arizona residents really, really miss the change of seasons. Summer is the alive time in Buffalo, full of life and festivals and fun. It stays light late and everybody can play outside, even if they work all day in an office.

I’m dreaming of an Anderson’s hot fudge sundae, or lemon ice, or black raspberry or pistachio frozen custard cone. Sandy brought me a box of Macintosh toffee, shortened to Mack in this 21st century, but still tasting like summer days at Crystal Beach. Hard to believe that parents let us kids ride the bus from the Kenmore West and Kenmore East parking lots up to Crystal Beach on our own for Kenmore Day in Canada. Imagine: 11-year-olds with no supervision taking international excursions to a beachfront amusement park and being just fine with it!
