I guess it is almost that time, as our in-box has recently been inundated with various back-to-school solicitations/offers: prepared snack/lunch foods, this season's must-have clothing/backpack item, new water bottles as another must-have for school, where to get the most bang for your buck for the school supplies. STOP! For now, it is *still* summer. Let's get out there an enjoy!
