Spring to Summer

In two days here in the Northern Hemisphere, on June 21st, we astronomically start summer.  Regardless, some folks have already started summer vacations, summer reading programs,  and summer clearances (to make room for fall merchandise and Christmas ... just around the corner).

So, what do you do in the summer?

I recall a favorite song my wife Kay taught the little children in Primary:
“Oh, what do you do in the summertime, 
when all the world is green?
Do you fish in a stream, or lazily dream 
on the banks as the clouds go by?  ...”
— Children’s Songbook of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints

Good questions.  For heaven’s sake, don’t let summer pass you by ... without making memories.  Kay always makes them ... in abundance.  
Is that what you do? So do I!”
