We’re in a heat wave, and it’s intense! I’m grateful for the sunshine, but we really need rain because we are also in a drought. The summer in Raleigh is fun for playing outside as long as you are submerged in water up to your shoulders, and we’ve been doing that just about every day of the week. We’ll head out to swim even after dinner just to cool off a bit!
As I’m writing this, the Canes (Raleigh’s home hockey team) are heading into game 6 of the Stanley Cup Finals in a few days. We are THRILLED with how far they have come in this series!
I finished listening to the book The Vacation by Kathryn Croft, and I’d give it about 3.5 stars. It kept my interest up until about 85% of the way, and then the ending was just too fast and felt a little disconnected/unrealistic for the storyline. Now I’m onto The Bright Years by Sarah Damoff. Have you read it?
