August already?

 It does seem like time moves faster these days.  When I was a child summers lasted forever.  Have you ever studied an hour glass?  I think the sand actually runs through at the same speed (any input on this would be appreciated) but as the top bulb empties the sand seems to run out faster and faster.  That's how I feel about recent years.  So here we are.  It's August first.  According to my west coast brother August is National Napping Month and National Eat Dessert First Month.  This sounds like my kind of month.  On the other hand, I'm pretty sure we are in the 'dog days' of summer.  My son-in-law evidently thinks so.  Each Christmas he gifts me with a calendar full of pictures of my family, especially the grandchildren.  Each month I look forward to flipping the page to see which pictures he has included.  This morning, as I excitedly flipped the page, I discovered that all of the August pictures are of my three granddogs.  Now, don't get me wrong, I like Wallace, Perry and Stewart, but cute pictures of them don't thrill me like pictures of my grandchildren.  Ah well, happy August everyone.
