Songs For Your Day

We’re two weeks away from summer (and graduation!), so I’m constantly daydreaming about the next few months as an escape from term papers, books, exams, blah! But these daydreams keep making me smile, as well as the new summer songs I’ve had on repeat – one of which is “On Melancholy Hill,” from the Gorillaz.

On Melancholy Hill – The Gorillaz

Up on Melancholy Hill,
There’s a plastic tree.
Are you here with me?
Just looking out on the day
Of another dream

In mid July I’ll be going on a six-day river trip through Desolation Canyon on the Green River with the Perry family.

(1) Six days with around twenty Perry family members = me being a very brave girlfriend.
(2) Six days without showers.
(3) Six days of having an excuse to use the river as a shower.
(4) Six days of floating in the water because it’s too hot to be in the raft.
(5) Bears?
(6) Gear!

Gear! So I have a decent amount of camping equipment – certainly enough to get me by on a weekend trip. But since there are around twenty people on this trip I can’t borrow gear → me having an excuse to stock up on everything I should have but don’t.

Hallelujah Christmas has come early this year.

Toodles,

Rebecca
