Flying Down the Highway...

Today is already JULY? How does this happen? Anyone else thinking the end must be near as the days are not the same length as they used to be? That must be the explanation.

In summers past, my kids would have been well into a schedule by now. We would have Fridays as a field trip day. We'd be working on some learning project for the summer (like a sewing or building project). We would feel like we were accomplishing something worthwhile.

So far, we have been busy, and a little busier. The Boy has been to a week at camp at Blue Mountain Boy Scout Camp, and is currently at Timberline camp this week. The Girl has been the Girls' Camp and is just waiting and preparing for the Stake Trek in a few more weeks. We have been to the pool every morning for swim team. Genius Golfer had two week at home with us, but used them practicing for a qualifying tournament for the State Amateur tourney, and sitting through medical tests with me. The summer for me so far has included a month of scary tests and lots of worry, early Sunday morning Trek meetings, visits to ward Girls' Camps from our stake, trying to get the kids on a schedule and a daily work project and still seeing Dear Friend Tammy every week and getting to see some other friends in a more social way--but it is a less regular plan there too.

"Dog Days of Summer", pashaw. I'm just dog-tired this summer.

I have one positive thought for you...at least you're not doing it in St. G. Yesterday was 108 degrees here. I've already started praying that your trek will be in moderate weather. The heat, here is KILLING ME.
