Well, the year is winding down and we are entering the last few months of the school year before summer hits.  Are we having fun yet?  I would have to answer with a resounding “yes.”  It was a fun year.  What are my goals for summer?  Let me make a list:

1. I want to read a great book together each month during summer — a book that doesn’t necessarily fit with any of our curriculum plans or anything.  Just something fun and informative.
2. I want to focus on doing some artistic endeavors that we can devote the whole day to — maybe learning to paint on canvas with oil, or maybe learning how to do some video editing for You Tube videos.
3. I want to watch one good movie every week — maybe even go to the movie theater a few times over summer.  I love the whole experience of going to the movies, so that’s high on my list.
4. I want to be totally prepared for the next school year with all my books and things organized and ready to go come August.  No more scrounging around on Veg Source in late July trying to find those last couple of items.  Nope.  I will be organized by August.
5. I want to go to a spa for a “me” day.  I want to have a facial, a manicure, a pedicure, and maybe even a massage.
6. I want to watch the NHL playoffs and keep up with my teams, as well as watching the French Open and Wimbledom.  I love hockey and tennis and although I don’t watch much TV, I will make time for my sports.

That’s it.  Not much of a “to do” list, but I honestly just need to relax.  Plus, it’s so hot here in the Phoenix area that summer doesn’t hold the traditional summer activities of other locations.  We just try to keep from melting while we drive with our oven mitts on (to keep from scorching our hands on the steering wheel) to the library.  What joy!  I can’t wait!  See you next time!
