The summer has flown by. Kids are already back in school and the days are noticeably shorter. Even the weather around here feels more like fall than summer. (I am not complaining about that!)
How’s the Challenge going for you? I will admit that I am horrendously behind — not a good thing for the challenge organizer to be!
Leave a link to your most recent 52 Ancestors post in the comments below. And for some great reading, check out last week’s contributions! There continues to be good stuff written every week!
