Stop!

     Or at least press pause.  It’s the last day of August and I’m not ready for it to be September.  Where did the summer go?  Didn’t school just get out?  Can it really be Labor Day tomorrow?

     I remember when I was in Kindergarten and the school days seemed so long and I didn’t think summer would ever come.  The weeks dragged on slowly all through Grade School and High School and ever since College the world has been spinning too fast to get off.  Just like those old time little merry go rounds when it would spin so fast you wanted to puke but you didn’t dare let go for fear of flying off.

     The weather is warm and the water temperatures are refreshing.  It doesn’t feel like summer should be over and I don’t have all of the things on my summer list done yet.  What’s a girl to do?   The days are getting shorter, the nights are getting longer and September is coming, ready or not.
