Well, I feel like summer is officially here, for me, since my school work is finished for a few weeks. Of course, it is 59 degrees here tonight--and we are having June gloom this year in July, overcast most of the day, cooler, etc.

It's strange, when you are a kid and your year is divided into 2 semesters of school and summer break, you view summer as a magical time, lazy days, movies, swimming, friends. I don't think I ever outgrew that, except the lazy day thing. I have had kids spaced over a 16 year span--so there has always been a younger one around, still is, besides 2 granddaughters. It's fun going to summer free movies, having summer grilled foods, watermelon, watching the kids play on the play yard stuff in the yard, and hopefully swimming (when it warms up or I break down and get a heater of some kind).

School for the kids will not begin here in SoCal until September, so Summer, here we come!!!!
