It's a beautiful Monday morning here...sunshine, mild temperature, and the kids are on the bus to school! Only a few more weeks until the official start of summer, school is out on June 17th. Oh, I can hear the standard whine already: "We're bored"!

I shudder to think of how to fill their time this year. Neither of them did well at the Girl Scout camp I enrolled them in two summers ago. Last year, I couldn't even mention the name, this year, they rolled their eyes at the suggestion. I'm going to keep trying.

We'll be taking the motorhome out more this summer, that's for sure. Weekends away from the daily grind. I concern myself with the same thoughts, however. It takes a week to recover from such an excursion as I have all the laundry to catch up with, all the restocking of necessary items, and the daily in between stuff until the next trip. Can you tell how pleased I am that we even BOUGHT this motorhome?? It was Jeff's grand idea, after all...

But summer is coming, and it is my favorite season. I can't get enough of the sun, and don't even start me on the rising temperatures. 90 degrees in the shade is my idea of bliss! The only trouble I have is dealing with Jeff's need for cold during these dog day months. We're never on the same page when it comes to sleeping comfortably. Ugh...it shouldn't be that in the middle of July, I'm reaching for the down comforter at night. But he's a tub of sweat in the middle of the night and needs the thermostat set at 62 in order to get a full night of slumber.

Oh, the peril of looking ahead. I hope you're eagerly anticipating the coming season, while enjoying the beauty of the one at hand. You know, the spring we're in right now and these few days of sun between those filled with rain? It's all good!
