I believe in a small tract of land in Augusta‚ Georgia exist a vortex to the Heavens. The vortex consists of azaleas‚ tightly mowed southern grass enclosed by century old pines and closed off to the world except for the select few.

Beaches‚ pools‚ light traffic and no tardy bell - summer is the best! I have been lucky enough to cherish the extra time with my kids that summer affords‚ visiting libraries and museums large and small (Who even knew there was a fire truck museum or a printing museum?).
