Today is the last day of July.  It has been a couple of days short of a month since my last post.

That could simply be all, given that we haven’t yet even cracked a module or math workbook since our last meeting with Boss-lady.  But, y’know.  To this, I say, so what?  It is summertime after all.

And it’s been pretty lazy, hazy, dazy.  But now it’s time to strap on… the bootstraps….?!?  Ooops!  I might familiarize myself a little better with the idioms.  I mean, it’s time to pull up those old bootstraps and get a little learnin’ goin’ on.  We’ve kind of allowed little minds, in the true spirit of lazy, hazy, dazy summer days, turn a little mushy.  Oh, we’ve enjoyed the sun and fun… the boat and camping have been a blast.  But now, thanks to the downright flakiness of Dear Old Mother Nature and the inconsistency of summer in these here Canadian Rockies, the dog days of summer have turned into the early days of fall (yes, it’s only July and we are reaching tremendous highs of only bloody well 20C- almost 70F to my American counterparts!), and so what better time to take a little more structured approach?

We also have a good deal of travelling scheduled for the next several months- each location presenting us with innumerable opportunities for learning.

So, dear chickadees.  School is back in session.  Did somebody say, lunch?
