2.  As summer break begins, it is definitely a time to relax and 'unplug.'  YOU NEED IT!!  Carina and I will try and not inundate you with communication throughout the summer.  However, we do want to keep you updated.  Just know we will send communication and of course up to you when you choose to read it.  Maybe when you have a good, stiff drink in your hand so that you will agree and like everything that is communicated. LOL

Something to Ponder

What book shall I read?
Do I stay in my jammies today?
Which Netflix series can I stay up late and watch?
Should I go for a walk in the morning or evening?
Long weekend of travel?
No agenda
I can now go to the bathroom when I damn well please!
How many naps can I take in a day?
Now, I can finish that project!
