September: If you’re bored you’re doing it wrong

There were people on pontoons, swimming parties in the middle of the lake, jet skis being as annoying as […]
Fall’s Routine, a Rude Awakening
“Are you ready for school?”That was the question floating through nearly all my conversations in the days leading up to the first day of school.
