TIME REALLY FLIES 524

                                                   TIME REALLY FLIES  524

                                 Unless you are a teacher, a student
                                 or a parent, you may not have noticed,
                                 but summer is over, again. 

                                 Last June, we watched summer time 
                                 gracefully take flight and lift, soaringly
                                 through the air. We know it had a
                                 departure point, but were never able
                                 to precisely pin down where it landed.

                                 We suspect that as time flies, summer
                                 landed on the runway of the past, at
                                 terminal of all to soon, and gently slid
                                 into the hanger named memories.

                                 In the next twelve months our children
                                 will be another year older. And as for
                                 us, well, you know, time really flies.
