Summer

Summer is absolutely flying by this year. These past few years with my daughter coming to stay with her kids for weeks have been so great, with so much life in the house and constant activity. It seems as though the summers are a long string of family cookouts and fun outings and the weeks nearly leapfrog over each other in their hurry to pass.

The weather has been trying for me, with the super hot and humid days. I don't like the heat and humidity. But I don't want to complain since we finally got an air conditioning unit in our bedroom last year and its such a treat to at least get a good night's sleep or sure! I hated all those nights before when even the sheets felt wet and sticky from the humidity. Now I can crawl into my nice cool sheets and pull them up over my shoulders, protected from the cold air that greets me when I open my bedroom door at night. It's delightful.

We're halfway into July already and August is looking at us right down the road. My how tie moves along, faster with each passing year. I wish it would slow down just a tad....
