I am recently back from a fantastic vacation in Italy and am, as is customary, suffering from the post-vacation blues. It’s so much nicer to be on vacation than it is to not be on vacation, generally speaking — even when you like your job! So I decided that I should focus on coming up with enjoyable plans and schemes to have continued fun the rest of the summer. For example, there is a bi-monthly wine tasting at a local historic house that I want to go to — so I put that on the list! There’s also an exhibit at the Natural History Museum running through the end of September that I don’t want to miss. Etc. And I want to hear all your fun plans for summer. Are you taking a great vacation? Tell us all about it! Is there a great museum exhibit coming to your town? Does your local library or community pool do something fun? Are you working on growing something new in your garden? Are you visiting friends, or teaching your kids to swim, or looking forward to your favorite summer salad? Did you get some new sandals you’re excited to wear, or is there a great summer book coming out you’re looking forward to? Do you go away every year to some great beach? Is there a seasonal ice cream flavor you love? All great summer things, big or small — lay them on me!
