Summer - don't blink!

Well, everyone knows the summer always flies by at the speed of sunshine. The fourth of July has come and gone, and already I've gotten my first "back to school sale" flyer in the mail. My thoughts of leisurely summer days were only partly realistic. We do get to sleep in some, except during Safety Town week... oh, and vacation Bible school week... oh, and days that we have early morning appointments. Oh, well. The wading pool hasn't even been put together on the deck - perhaps because of the giant inflatable water slide the neighbors have and invite us to enjoy? Hmmm. The list of things we'd like to do always exceeds the free time available, but we are having fun. That's the whole point of summer, right?! Just don't blink, or it'll be gone!
