Summertime...and the livin' is easy...

Tomorrow Summer arrives and it's time for me to take a bit of a break from the blogs. I will continue to do several challenges a week but not my usual load. I admit, I'm at a bit of a burnout, so I better go try to (not)burn outside for awhile. Have a wonderful Summer and please enjoy saving and using this vintage travel poster from 1948 with my compliments. - Kris
