End of Summer

It’s really not that summer is over yet though school has started and Lucas has survived almost two weeks so far. It is so warm yet and there is much yard work here. We also took time to attend the state fair where the boys were thrilled with oversized inflated sledgehammers that only cost a few dollars at the arcade. The boys thought they were the best gifts ever.

The time is changing however as the Spirit of Halloween store has opened finally so Lucas and I could search through it for two hours last weekend. He was intrigued with the antimated torso that screamed while it was being hung by a rope but luckily he didn’t want to buy it for $249 because he still favors his plastic chain from last year. I suppose we will visit this store many more times before Halloween though I consider it my least favorite holiday.

Diana and Jim rented a cabin on Coeur d’Alene last week and invited me to ride around the lake with them in Charlie’s boat. We had such a good time talking, looking at fancy homes and even sharing a lunch and beverage. I didn’t know using Charlie’s boat would be so much fun but it made it even nicer since he was working while we were playing. Diana and Jim could be grandparents again in a few weeks when baby Nolan arrives. (I’m voting for that name)

Here is Camp Sweyolaken where we spent one week vacations and learned our camp songs, like "Now every Camp Fire girl is so discrete". Surely you will recognize the beach front.

How does it feel to be 66? Try to remember as you only get to be that young for one more day and I will talk to you then.
