The flurry of spring is now fading to the dog days of summer and I find myself wanting to enjoy the gift of air conditioning constantly.  I often wonder how my grandparents and their parents survived in the heat without the benefit of conditioned air.  I suppose they were used to it and I am sure they had ways to cope that we would find silly and inconvenient.  It is funny how we take for granted the exceptionally wonderful controlled spaces that we live and work in today. 
Susan and I were discussing the content of the newsletter this morning.  We talked about a list of books that we could present that would be beneficial to our readers and might give them some insight into the books that we have found helpful here in our office.  One book in particular that I remembered is by a gentleman named Witold Rybczynski.  It is called Home.  The book explores the idea of the home and how the concept of comfort and living has changed since the Middle Ages.  I know it may sound technical and boring but it is anything but that.  The simple idea of having a cozy place to lay down and sleep or to sit and eat have changed drastically over the past seven hundred years and after reading his book I began to understand why our homes are the way they are.  It truly changed the way I understood the concept of a home.
I hope I have sparked your interest. 
Enjoy the newsletter, enjoy the books, and enjoy the summer.  Give us a call if you have any questions or if there is anything you want us to write about in our newsletter.  We look forward to your feedback and we hope to see you soon.
