My Summer Staycation
This past summer, I was very lazy. I spent
most of my time off at home reading
books on my Kindle. I read over 35 books!
I did go to western Pennsylvania a couple
of times for Kiwanis events. I also joined a
gym; we will see how that works out.
I took a couple of day trips with my mom:
the Crossings outlets and New York City to
see The Book of Mormon.
Oh! I almost forgot – I had a Pampered
Chef party to restart my business. That was
fun, but a lot of work.
I missed my Key Club kids, and yes, even
some of my students. I’m glad to be back
at school. Are you?
