The kids are back in school, and I’ve been spending my weekend hanging out in my hometown. I enjoyed the comedy event I attended last night, but when I got home, my most recent DIY project had turned out almost disastrously. I’ll tell you more about it tomorrow.

August is the Sunday of summer, as someone once remarked, and I’m not sure who said it. Very soothing, yet soon thoughts are turning to the impending rigors of sports and school schedules. I’m getting ready. I simply am not prepared for fall yet, even if it is just around the corner.:)
