While summer is not officially over for another two weeks, what so many of us consider summer ended with the Labor Day weekend.
Around here, there are so many tangible signs that summer is truly over:
•· The kids are back to school
•· My teacher friends are no longer available for lunch
•· You can sleep without air-conditioning - and even need a blanket
•· There's noticeably less sunlight hours
•· It's time to start giving out flu shot gift certificates
Huh? Flu shot gift certificates? Now don't get me wrong - I'm all for protecting the vulnerable from a serious and, in some cases, fatal illness. Call me old school, but I consider decisions like those one best handled between a person and his/her medical provider. Not by cousin Sally stuffing a gift card in a Hallmark card!
And just what would that Hallmark card say?
Roses are Red,
Violets are Blue,
Don't turn up Dead,
From getting the Flu!
Somehow I don't think my next closing gift is going to be flu shots for the family . . .
