I get that same unsettling feeling when I start seeing school supplies out in abundance at WalMart, Sam’s, etc. These back-to-school sales events always start way too soon, but these always signify the end of summer. It doesn’t help that my house is separated from a middle school up on a hill by a children’s park, watching children being dropped off and picked up each day out of my kitchen window. Although my boys are no longer in school (the younger one just graduated from college in May), our summers when they were growing up were full of fun times together camping, hiking and traveling. Whenever I see the middle school kids out my kitchen window, I still get that feeling of dread.
