We had a wonderful summer.  A road trip to Maryland to be with grandkids, meeting friends at Tanglewood in the Berkshires and a journey through eastern Europe were all great.  We also enjoyed the many pleasures of Boston as well as the long days, not needing coats, and plenty of just-picked butter-and-sugar corn.  Summer rocks.

I am grateful that everything went smoothly, knowing that some day it may not.  But being a bona fide worrier doesn’t prevent me from making future plans.  So we are already talking about what we will do in the Summer of 2016.
