Anybody else feel like we skipped over a few weeks? How it it the middle of June already!? If that's not a wake-up call to start really channeling All Things Summer, I don't know what is! I hope you have some fun summery plans for this weekend as it is Father's Day on Sunday. I sense lots of grilling, bbqing, and good eats to be happening...am I right?
I think most schools are out by now? Our local schools are, as of this week. But of course, for me, college "summer" begins way back in May, yet it never seems like "summer" until "everyone" is out. The lazy days of summer can officially begin (and by that I mean, Thursday the 21st...first day of calendar summer!)
