Memoir Monday

There’s something about the transition from July to August that gives many teachers have a bittersweet feeling. For those of you who live in the Northeast, it feels like summer began a week or two ago, rather than in late June, doesn’t it? However, summer is halfway over. (And for some folks I know down in Georgia, teachers head back to school today.)

So… if you need a little inspiration for today’s memoir-ish piece, why not write about your favorite time you’ve had thus-far this summer?
