Where has the summer gone?


Summer is drawing to an end in our part of the world.  The kids go back to school on Wednesday. Don't ask me how sad I'm going to be that first week...My baby is going to be a senior this year. A good portion of my summer has been devoted to helping her find her top three college choices. Thankfully we found the third one two weeks ago. (Wipes brow)

Bur I've been up to a lot of other things, mainly critiquing:

What did you do this summer? What is next on your list of things you want to do?
