Summer memories make everything feel magical to me — carefree and untroubled.
Even on the trips where everything went wrong, I look back and smile at the narrow escapes, or the long walks on a beach while I sorted out and righted the world.
Whether a good memory was made in years past, yesterday, or only moments ago, I love letting the nostalgia wrap me up — like a borrowed sweater on a cold summer night. Even more, I love making new memories: a carefree summer at the lake, a stroll through the park, dancing in the rain… then all I need to do is remember, and the same carefree feeling washes over me.
In a new post specifically for this challenge, share a photo that means CAREFREE to you!
We’re looking forward to seeing your magical memories!
– Sheri

Summer memories do make everything magical, but when you have no one to share it with then it makes the summer turn out to be boring and lame.
