I'm pleased to announce all my books are 25% off for the whole month of July at Smashwords. There are many other authors taking part in the sale at various discount levels, including all the way down to free, so check it out! My .epub files are DRM-free so it's a simple process to load them into whatever reader app you like to use. And of course, if you prefer to keep things even simpler they're still available at their regular prices on all the other platforms found here.
Every year I take my children to stay with their grandparents and cousins for all of July. They love it, and I love knowing they're watched over and having fun and truly bonding with their cousins. I never spent enough time with my own cousins to get past "friendly guest" status with each other; we were just too far apart geographically and our respective parents couldn't put in the time.

This also enables me to spend a little time rattling around the ancestral home (such as it is; it's only this year that they've lived as long in town as they did on the farm) before I have to go home and get back to work. I love reconnecting with my parents and their dogs, my sister and her kids, and those of my high-school friends who still remain in our hometown and in touch with me.

I wouldn't qualify for an ADHD diagnosis, but I do have a shiny collection of subtraits, and one of them is  lack of "friendship decay:" if someone was a close friend, I will still feel exactly as excited to see them as the last time, even if the last time was years and years ago. (Although I realized the other day that quite a few friendly acquaintances don't make the cut, and now I can just barely summon memories of their faces but not even remotely their names.) This means I can truly enjoy even such limited contact as we can all manage as adults. One of the social skills I benefit greatly from as an adult is being able to jump into Catchup Mode and then let our brief time together end with a modicum of grace.
