Summer break

When I was in college, I spent a summer in French-speaking Belgium, where I learned that basically all of Francophone Europe takes a month of summer off from work to sit on the beach and bake. I know I haven't been around all that much in the last month, but I am taking July as my French-inspired month-long break from blogging. I'm leaving on Tuesday for a week-long zoo tour, and we'll be back for just a couple of days before going to Utah for a 10-day trip. By the time I get back and crawl out from underneath the laundry, July will be mostly done. And when July is over, there will only be 26 days of summer left until I can send the kids back to school. I may survive this summer in Texas, after all.
