URBANNA — Every summer the Deltaville Maritime Museum offers a family wooden boat-building camp. The program is offered over a one-week period in the summer and it always seemed to me whenever this week comes about, it is the hottest week of the year.

Of course, this is just my imagination. I am sure if I planned a move or an outdoor wedding, it would also be on the hottest week of the year.
