I’m in Charlotte, North Carolina, visiting my sister. A little vacation now that school is out. I love the South. In my previous life, I must have been a Southern Belle. In fact, I love the South so much I subscribe to Southern Living; it is my favorite magazine. Unfortunately…
Today was the last day of the school year. When I came home from work yesterday, (I work part-time–a full day every other day because we have a block schedule), my husband started singing, “School’s Out for the Summer.” Haha…teachers get excited at the end of the year too. One end-of-the-year…
