My summer is off to a slow start, because I’ve been wrapped up in a cross-country move. I have a lot planned for July and August, though, so I’m excited for the rest of this summer.
My summer has been going great so far! A lot of lazy days, reading, binge-watching my favorite shows and relaxing in general. I finally got into the out there last weekend when my youngest son and his family hosted a Father’s Day bar-be-que and it was awesome to see most of my family and friends there. I am also looking forward to a trip to my Alma Mater next month as I will be accompanying my granddaughter on her tour of the campus and nearby town.
We are very busy with work. Hoping to take a road trip to the mountains of TN but I am not sure.
It has been a wonderful summer so far. Very relaxing and warm!
It’s been a good summer filled with lots of fun, but it is going too fast!

My summer is going well. It’s a little hot, but thankfully I have so much to do inside (preparing for an out-of-town guest in August, so I’m redecorating my guest bedroom).
Great! Haven’t been doing a lot of reading but we’ve been spending a lot of time in the pool. We celebrated my Mom’s 60th bday earlier this week & will be celebrating my nephew’s 5th next week! 🙂
