Good Morning and Happy Sunday! There's a faint dusting of clouds on the blue sky today outside the patio door. Not enough to dampen the day just enough to make it slightly cooler; a blessing in my mind for this time of year. A brief reprieve as I know August isn't done making us sweat just yet. My morning lake walks have been beautiful lately. What did we do this week? Serra and her best friend took off for a couple of days to a set of cabins they found in the mountains last summer. They filled the days with fishing, exploring, bean bag toss and smores. As usual for them, they also did not sleep so that was the...
Good Morning and Happy Sunday! I think it is already warm outside with the brightness of the sun and no lake traffic. Summer may be over in some ways but certainly not with the temperatures! What did we do this week? It was much quieter than the previous one. Serra's sinus headache manifested into a small summer cold where she was down for the count during the early half of the week. She is back to her usual self with a bit of a stuffy nose to deal with. She'll be out and about with her best friend this week as a bit of a last hurrah to summer. There are only a couple more weeks until she heads back...
Good Morning and Happy Sunday! The sun is high and there are no clouds in the sky outside the patio door today. The traffic on the lake is already high as I imagine it will be too hot later for anyone to enjoy it. I know I enjoy my early morning lake walks when it's cooler. What did we do this week? Serra and her best friend had an amazing time at the Hozier concert last Sunday. An opening group, a two-hour set by him, and dealing with traffic made for a very late night and tired young lady when she got back Monday. They were supposed to go to a concert at the Aggie last night until Serra got...
Good Morning and Happy Sunday! It's another bright and sunny day outside the patio door already today. The forecast says we are going to reach the low nineties, and I am very glad my little hobbit hole stays cool. Having more of the thunderstorms that rolled through briefly last night would be even better. What did we do this week? It was a rather quiet one. Serra's friend was down with a stomach bug until Thursday so there was only one day out and about on the town. They are making up for it this week with two concerts turned sleepovers. She is pouring as much as she can into the few weeks that remain before the return to campus....
Good Morning and Happy Sunday! It is a bright and sunny day outside the patio door with the odd pom-pom blooms getting larger. I am hoping the cooler temperatures of the last two days stay with us. It is the first summer in my new little corner and somehow it stays a good 10-15 degrees cooler than outside without trying. To say I love it here is an understatement. What have we been up to this week? Amanda survived her holiday weekend on Long Island. She managed to get sunburnt even with generous amounts of sunscreen at a family BBQ and day at the beach. She also had her first trip to the city after being in the state of...
