One of the songs that I sing to my kids at bedtime is ‘Up On The Roof’ by The Drifters. I don’t know how it started, but it’s one they choose quite often. I was singing the first verse to myself today and thought that although I don’t actually go up on the roof to escape each of us must have somewhere we go to just escape.
Where do you go to escape?
What is your ‘roof’?
This is me on a roof in Sandton, South Africa

That’s the song my mom and I used to dance to- One day I hope to dance with my daughter to that song! I’m a big Carol King/James Taylor fan…that’s the version I love! It’s such a feel good song. Notice the caption in the last photo…added a long time ago- the picture was taken during my internship in NYC.

When you were just a little boy I took you there,
High, to the mountains and the pure, clean air.
And the trails still call,though now you’re a man,
You should go to the mountains when ‘er you can.

I will go there in a car
I will go, it’s not too far
Let’s climb and Mountain, You and I
Breath in the air and touch the sky.

Thanks for your comment Ashley, I really enjoyed the photo. It looks like you had a great time in NYC. What is one thing about that trip that you will carry with you forever?
