Summer is here in the south. Oh, I know the calendar says summer begins on June 21st, but when the temperature is 86° (yesterday and today) I say it's summertime. 😎 I'm willing to bet that it got hot all the way up the east coast this week. We're making plans to go to the beach -- Hal and I can't wait. Our son may be able to join us there for a few days (we sure hope so).
