Summer Fun.
I must apologize to my super-sweet readers for the few and far between posts. However, summer is just too darn fun! Being a teacher, I fully embrace the concept of "summer mode" -- I finally went grocery shopping for the first time in two weeks. I don't know what my family has been eating, but my belly sure shows signs that I haven't been missing any meals. Ugh! I have read a few books -- Promises to Keep, The Last Time I Saw You, Broken, and Dune Road. My kids and I have hit the beach many times --- my dermatologist would not be amused with the darker shade of my skin tone. My family and I have a camping adventure planned with some wonderful friends -- should prove to be a total blast. Don't be fooled though, last year was our maiden voyage as campers. Although I would prefer a comfy, cozy hotel room, the experience of pitching a tent in the middle of the forest was one certainly to be remembered. Not to mention the endless supply of marshmallows, graham crackers, and chocolate bars -- enough s'mores to feed an entire football team.
As the sunshine continues to spread its magic and the mosquitoes manage to master their annoyance, try to think of yourself as that little kid enjoying every second of summer fun.
