Summer Fun.

[Chris Carr]

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.*
