summer break

I have pretty much taken a break from blogging, and reading blogs all summer, but it's time I make it official, if only to ease my conscience.

Our niece is flying in from Boise next week - hopefully after our little heat wave waves good-bye - and then we are off to Hawaii. I know how August will go from there, slipping through my fingers as I get the kids ready for school, continue to train myself as a new Zumba instructor and work with our newest addition to our family, an English Springer Spaniel named Jake. (We are bringing him home in three weeks.)

I look forward to writing again here, sharing the last weeks of summer when I return, catching up with old friends when the days become shorter again, and I find time to sit down.

See you around the bend.

Google images; wish I had a swing like that for reals.
