July

July is anti-boredom month, and it needs to be. School is out and the weather is just right for bicycling, roller skating, skipping rope, running through the sprinklers, slippery sliding, setting up a tent in your backyard, making and flying paper airplanes, splashing in a wading pool, selling lemonade, making mud pies, or giving the dog a bath. It’s a great time to learn to play marbles, build a tree house, walk to the park, make home-made hand-cranked ice cream, erect a sand castle or see how high you can swing. Right now, instead of sitting in front of a computer or television screen, you could be out having some REAL fun. July is almost over, and summer will be gone before you know it. In fact, there are only 56 days left until autumn begins. And school will be back in session long before that. What are you going to do about it?
