Summer 2013 Has "Unofficially" Begun!

Finally, the holiday weekend is here, the unofficial start to summer.  It’s the beginning of the vacation season for some, not so much for others.  I couldn’t imagine having a three month hiatus from work.  However, I believe that teachers need that break for sanity reasons alone.  I raised two boys which was troubling enough at times, so I truly can’t imagine dealing with a classroom full of boys and girls! 

While this weekend is one that we should take time to remember and celebrate the lives of loved ones who have passed on, all of whom are dancing on my heart this weekend, it also gives us an extra day off.  In light of this, we get to observe higher gas prices, crowded family fun venues, packed lakes and beaches, and lots of outdoor activities.     
And let’s not forget about the food!  Many family gatherings including picnics and barbeques are happening everywhere this weekend.  There are even some fun movies playing on the big screens this weekend.  We indulged in viewing Fast and Furious 6 yesterday – and it was well worth the money spent.  Of course, you probably need to be a Fast fan to appreciate it.

Whatever your plans, enjoy the weekend; we only get two of these a year.  Relax, laugh, enjoy your friends and families, and of course, think about those loved ones who have gone ahead of us.  Rejoice and celebrate the memory of their lives.  Too soon, we’ll be the ones being remembered.
