End of July

I can't believe it is already the end of July.  In just a few short weeks school will begin again.  I'm just starting to get into the summer schedule so it just doesn't seem like it is time to change yet.  We have been having warm humid weather so it is hard to image the leaves changing and colder weather.....before the snow comes.
I made several thank you cards to thank family for my birthday gifts.  I received some $ and as you can imagine what I spent my money on...... some new stamps.
