HELLOOOOO JUNE!!!

        

       

               

       . . .  AND WELCOME TO JUNE, 2006!

 

June 20th is the Summer Solstice and longest day of the year.  That's the day that the earth's North Pole is tilted closest to the sun . . .  but you knew that!  It's also the point where our calendar year is just about half over . . .  WOW!  The glass of 2006 REALLY IS half EMPTY ~ any way you look at it! 

The years continue to get shorter as we prepare to start THIS summer in earnest, but we know that the lawnmowers have already been buzzing and some areas of the country have already passed the century mark repeatedly, even though it's only the first of June.  I happen to live in one of those BOILING beige states . ..   but I'm used to it after eighteen years.

As spring comes to an end and we know that the DOG DAYS of summer lie ahead . . .

 

         Did you get outside as much as you had planned?

         Can you spend a little extra time working on yard clean-up with the kids before it's REALLY HOT?

         Could you POSSIBLY get up earlier for the next few weeks to take advantage of the remainder of these lovely mornings?   Take early morning walks with your children?  Get out and play with the dog?

          How about loading up and going camping THIS weekend?  It's sure to be quieter than last . . .  and sometimes SHORT spontaneous trips are the MOST FUN!

           Maybe you want to plan an impromptu POTLUCK brunch out on your patio with a few friends this Saturday . . .  unless rain is predicted in "yer neck of the woods" as the National TV Weather Dude often says

            Maybe you want to get busy as a family today and put together a last minute GARAGE SALE for this weekend, giving the kids a per centage to incentivize them to help  . . .  maybe they could even hold SIGNS directing traffic to your house on Saturday morning . . .  they could dig out funny Halloween masks to wear to draw attention.  If you're handy you could make a sandwich sign for Spot to wear!  Who can ignore a GARAGE SALE being advertised by a Basset???  Lots of GARAGE SALE people are out there cruisin', just looking for a sale where they can leave a few dollars

            My son and I did a last minute garage sale when he was 12 and I promised him 30% if he really worked.  We still laugh about people trying to buy the containers HOLDING the  sale items.  He came over and said, "This is getting out-of-control!  These people will buy ANYTHING!"  We had lots of fun and made about $300 and that was quite a few years ago!

             Here's to making this a MEMORABLE MONTH!!!
