School is out for summer

School is out for summer, and though I am not a teacher, I am finding this to be a nice break from the craziness that encompasses my life when school is in session.

Because my job is pretty much dead during this time frame, minus the school board meetings, I find other things to take it's place.

It gives me the opportunity to get out in my car and drive around town. I write feature stories and cover other random things that happen in the community I wouldn't normally have the time to write about. I enjoy it. It's always a nice change.

But I also enjoy the free time I have at my disposal. I always try to come in a little later during the summer months. I spend more time at home gardening or scrap booking. I also drive to Crawfordsville more often to see my family. They like that just as much as I do.

Summer break is nice change, but I'm already missing being in the schools with the kids.
