Actual summer

 Marianne commented on my blog yesterday to enjoy my actual summer.  

Here it is!  I don't have to go back to school until August. And by then I'll be excited about it.  By the time I see all the school supplies in the store, I am itching to get back!

I'm happy to be here in summer too though.  I am hoping for a summer of travel, time with Adam and our kids, seeing extended family, s'mores around the fire pit, and time in Starr Valley.  

I have a to do list--of course I do-- but I also have a to be read list and I am happy about that.

Yesterday we had a good day of meeting together.  Nate brought in brisket and it was SO good.  By far the best I've ever had.  Miriam invited anyone who was at the school to come and eat with us, which is the most Miriam thing she could do.  

In our meeting, we had divvied up responsibilities for next year and Alissa will be in charge of field trips and the schedule/calendar.  Her first act as field trip coordinator was another Swig run.  (I drove again so she wouldn't have to move a carseat, but she passed her credit card up because she said it was on her this time.)

I think I like her field trip coordinating very much.

There are always things I wish were different or better in life, but right now, I'm feeling pretty content.

Happy summer!
