Summer’s end…

The calendar in my leather bound Dayrunner says there are two and a half more weeks of summer, but my inner calendar tells me this is the last day.  In our city, on the corner of my street, tomorrow morning a rainbow of red, yellow, black, white, noisy, back pack carrying precious ones will line up and wait for the school bus.  I have no little ones at home to buy pencils and paper for,  but I feel the ending of the summer, and the beginning of the busy season all the same.  We will say goodbye to summer today with daughter and son in law and baby granddaughter,  and son in law’s parents, and we will grill burgers, and drink iced tea.  This summer has been one full of emotional changes for us, and yet, we have so, so, much to be thankful for, to look forward to.  God is good…all the time.
