We’re in the home stretch of summer already. I can’t tell you how many times I have made big plans in my head for all these summer things I wanted to do, assumed I had all the time in the world to do them, then to realize time has passed by quicker than I thought and it was too late. Like boat rides, swimming, going to the beach, fishing, etc. Okay, you can probably tell how much I love being around the water. But isn’t that what summer is all about? Enjoying our beautiful lakes and rivers, splashing around in a nice warm pool, LIVING IT UP, summer-style! We live in a beautiful part of the country. The unfortunate thing about living here is how short the summers are. School is just a few weeks away, too. Get out there and enjoy these final weeks of summer, before old man winter comes back! 😫
