This might seem more appropriate to November (when we in the US celebrate Thanksgiving) than June, but I think you’ll understand. I am going to be giving myself some time off this summer.

It’s Saturday, and in addition to Linda G. Hill’s Stream of Consciousness Saturday challenge, we have to deal with the fact that Cheryl is off today.
