Kickin' Back

The Princess and I have both been in between school terms for the last couple of weeks.  My summer semester starts next Monday, and hers doesn't get going until the Wednesday of the following week.

What does this mean?

Time to kick back and enjoy a bit of family time over the next week before things get crazy again.  I think I'll putter around the garden, maybe take The Princess down to the beach to see if the water's warm enough yet, you know, the important stuff.

After hanging out with my very best pal from my previous job this past weekend, it's really starting to feel like summer.  For the first time this year, the evenings are amazingly beautiful, to the point where we could actually sit outside on a deck for dinner and stay there - happily - until after 10:30 without jackets, heaters, or a campfire. 

And, really, what kind of a momma would I be if I didn't insist upon taking advantage of this while we can?

Happy summer, y'all.  It's finally here.  :)
