I’m looking forward to my sister Diana and her husband Rich visiting us on Martha’s Vineyard. Now it feels like summer is starting!
Have a great weekend! If you’re celebrating, Happy Father’s Day.
Last weekend we had a huge push to get ready for summer. We packed and unpacked, washed windows, installed window air conditioners, assembled a new grill. Whew! Last summer, I dragged out the window washing project for almost the entire summer and I felt the unfinished chore hanging over me. Washing all of the windows in one day was crazy, but it was so great to have it done!
When I was done with my tasks and too tired to do much, I lazily googled “summer 2023,” curious to see what kind of information would appear. There were lots and lots of college summer class schedules, a good thing if you are hoping to take classes this summer. There were summer weather forecasts, TV watching lists, reading lists, the top pedicure colors, and summer 2023 styles. I’m sharing some of that info this weekend.
