Summer

As she closes her eyes, all the sounds and smells come back to her as if she never left.
Mama is up on the porch with Aunt Rita, a hefty woman with hair as red as fire. They are just gabbin the day away like they do every weekend, waitin for Uncle Tony to get the grill going. Uncle Tony is a slender grey haired man, who always cares and always loves to laugh. He never really says much, but when he does, its pretty awesome. Robert and her brother are out back creating some type of havock. Toni Renee is out with her boyfriend and Jennifer and Amy are in the house.
The smell of the grill mixes with the other smells of summer and creates such an aroma, one that is unforgettable.
There's hamburgers and hotdogs, mac and cheese, and some type of vegatable, and always enough to go around.
Mama has been carrying her last baby for awhile now, and it seems to be the topic at hand.
As the small girl climes atop the cement post, Amy asks her and her brother, what do you want it to be, a boy or a girl?
"A girl," she replied with out hestitaion, "then i would have someone to play Barbies with." However her brother was quick to respond, "I want a little brother, we already have one girl!" As the adults snicker, Robert grabs the small boy and says, "come on, lets go play Nintendo." He didnt have to ask the boy twice;)
The small girl enjoys days like this, she feels like a grownup when she is around them.
Home is only like a block away, but it always seems like an adventure to get to come down to Aunt Rita's.
As mama grasps her two small children's hands, she yells over to Aunt Rita, "see you for church tomorrow."
