Cards Of Summer

Just a day or two ago, my wife was at Target. She walked by a big display of greeting cards that were out of season and was amused by what she saw.

The display was advertising "Cards Of Summer". We are, obviously, pretty much out of that season. But on closer inspection, she realized that many of the cards were "invitation" type cards. Most of them said things to the effect of, "Come to my pool party!"

Now, I know that I am a cold-water wimp. Therefore, a pool party in September sounds about as appealing to me as pulling all my hair out, one strand at a time. With pliers.

Some things you can buy out of season. But somehow I have a hard time with pool party cards as we head into cool, windy, rainy temperatures. It makes me shiver involuntarily.

I know, I know. I'm a wimp. :)
