I am fortunate to have summers off with my sister, as we are both teachers. I fly to Utah and spend 6 amazing weeks hiking, swimming and stargazing. When we’re ready to spend money, we hit SLC and attend the artists and farmer's      markets, Some days we lounge about the house, reading and eating bad food. It is my favorite way to spend the summer.

  I already went to Duluth, MN with one of my daughters and two of my grandkids for the 4th of July, now I want to organize my house and yard so everything is ready for me to go back to teaching school in late August.
