Scrappygirl, it always seems to me that summer starts winding down right after July 4.  I don&#39;t know why.  Perhaps it&#39;s because you start to hear those &quot;back to school&quot; ads on the radio and TV.  Or maybe it&#39;s because most people I know take their vacations in June and early July.  But August and September seem neglected as summer months, especially after most kids go back to school in mid August.
