End of Summer Time
It's the end of August...already and autumn will soon be upon us once again. The weather has changed, it's cooler and you can feel fall in the air. I LOVE this time of year!
July was very wet and soggy, lots of rain and not very summer like at all. August was warmer and WAY more humid and it's rained some, but not so much as July.
Devon had her 17th birthday on the 21st and she spent the morning having her senior pictures done and then chose to spend the evening and night at her Uncle's camper in Charleston. Andy and I had wanted to take her out for supper and have cake and ice cream, but...
Her pictures came out nice and now it's time to order the ones I want. She has her parking permit for school and we met with the principal on Monday and hopefully her schedule will get straightened around and she can go to school just in the morning and then she has also signed up for a class at CCV this fall. So...she's moving onward and upward and I'm quite confident she has a pretty good head on her shoulders, surprising since I'm told I'm such a stupid >>>> >>>> by a certain somebody...very stupid actually...but I've done the best I can and I can only hope she will always be healthy, happy, content and faithful to our Lord.
Hannah has had a VERY busy summer despite my concerns she wouldn't since she couldn't go to the summer day camp through Newport this year. She ended up being able to stay home the days I worked and did things with Devon. Went to the beach ALOT and spent quite a bit of time out to Charbo with Debbie and Shayla. Last week she actualy spent two more nights out to Norton Pond with Lori's grandchildren too. She's been on walks, bike rides, swimming, Coutts camp for a week as did Devon and then our trip to Maine and Norton and then in late September we plan to go to the Big E down in Springfield MA. We are skipping Essex Fair this year in exchange for Springfield, something different, but I do plan to still go to the annual craft fair in Essex in October. LOVE that place! Val and I always have a good time.
It's amazing how I come to life with this weather change and how the hot summer humidity just totally zaps me, not to mention I had some weird flu bug last week that lasted about 5 days or more. Severe body aches and diarrhea and nausea and one night a TON of gas! Wholly smoke bandit!
Weekends at work just get better and better. I had a melt down last Sat and called the big cheese and told her she HAD to come in and help me. She did, but she's still being a piss ant about it all. We are now down to agency nurses and candidates from third world countries who want to stay here in the US. I don't get it,,,I guess it's called integrity and the major LACK of it in society as a whole these days. I'm praying for divine intervention at this point because I see no change forthcoming...it's put up and shut up and I want to maintain until my 10 year plan can unfold.
Well,,,guess that is all for now. Loving the cool breeze this evening coming from the porch windows into the livingroom. All for now.
