This should make you laugh but some of you will understand – it is chancey, even with the calendar telling me that the official start of summer is Thursday, to say summer is here. I live where it may still get cold at night so hopefully, I don’t jinx anything.

Summer is here. It is hot – and humid – and, my bet is come tomorrow morning, a bit hazy. That is summer in upstate NY. The three H’s are the common thing and seem to stay that way through August and occasionally September, too.

My first day of summer – Thursday, remember – will be spent as a chaperone for a music trip for 7th and 8th grade band, orchestra and chorus members. We load the busses in back of the middle school between 6:30 and 6:45 with leaving time being 7 am. Then, we are on our way to Hershey Park for the day. We should hit the park just about opening time and be on our way to rides and water and FUN!
