How’s it already August? Where’d summer go? WHY IS THIS HAPPENING?!

Remember when summer seemed to last forever? Spending all day at the pool. Eating Weber-grilled burgers for dinner. Playing night games with the neighborhood kids. Those were the days.

Now, it’s more like spending all day at work, eating a quick salad for dinner and running errands at night. But, we still find time for fun. Here are a few things that brought me some joy in July.
