six years old

yesterday i was driving down hwy 29 and thinking about when i was little. you know, i'm going to be 20 this wednesday, and that makes a girl think. what have i done with my two decades of life?? 

anyway.

sometimes i wish i was still six years old.

like when i would go with my best friend jenni's family to eat at taylor's refresher in st helena. back when it was taylor's. back when we would wear sunflower hats, pink overalls, and saltwater sandals.

back when there was that big oak tree in the grass area that we would sit on. there was a huge branch that we would ride and it would be an elephant's trunk or snake. it had endless possibilities. and we would ride it until our hamburgers and fries were ready. and when we finished eating we would ride it some more until it got dark and we went home.

i had to draw in the tree. they cut it down about ten years ago. and it never stabbed anyone, i'm just really bad at drawing on the computer. oh, and the grass was way greener.

life was great when i was six. 

and do you know what? 

...

it still is.
