It’s about time summer showed up. We were missing you, stifling-hot days with sticky humidity and sudden downpours! Thanks for arriving late to the party and reminding us August is knocking on our back door.

Try as you might, however, you couldn’t keep us down. No way! We defied you this weekend, with multitudes of sports, BBQs and kids being kids! Our area photographers refused to submit!

Ok, so yeah, I’ve had double caffeine this morning. How about you? Chill a moment and check out the weekend from viewpoints other than your own…
