August 2024 in Pictures

I hope you enjoyed the Summer Olympics in Paris, France. I’m proud of all the athletes who competed and enjoy seeing the Olympics through the eyes of Snoop. He really immersed himself into the games talking with athletes from different sports and even trying out a few sports.

I hope you’ve been able to sneak in a little more summer fun into your days, and maybe fit on that vacation.

Is it me or are kids going back to school earlier each year? When I was a little girl in Indiana, we started school afet Labor day. When we moved to Florida, we started at the end of August. My sons always started after Labor Day, but now I have friends whose kids or grandkids are already back at school! It certainly changes the images we have of August, but we’ll muddle through. Enjoy!
