SAW-HEARD-DID
SAW: It's easy to see- I've been too (fill in the blank) to blog, letting 3 weeks pass without an update. Busy? Yeah, not really. Hot? Yeah, that one holds some potential, especially when your A/C freezes up...but in all honesty, aside from this past week, the summer has been rather pleasant.
Regardless of the reason, excuse, with summer vacation racing towards the finish line, I figured I'd give myself a quick recap of the past couple of weeks.
HEARD: Silence....from the solitude of the forest, to the "home alone" quiet...it's actually been a calming sound to take in.
DID: You'd think I'd remember what's happened in the intervening three weeks, but alas, the brain is in full summer mush mode, and retrieval of even recent events requires a fair amount of thinking.
Let's see- there was a birthday to be celebrated-
Yep...this little Thing is now all grown up at 22...
A day of his own design-included lunch with family and friends, followed by a bit of retail therapy...
Father-son bonding to experience
from tool talk
to tent training
Thing 2 and friends are going camping this week-
can't let the kid experience glamping without first suffering through camping.
Yard work to be tackled
a long over due yard project-
with the removal of some overgrown bushes and major weed control.
the project requires some final work-but overall it's looking better...
A move to be supervised
Now that Thing 2 is officially licensed as a CNA- the plan is to live downtown, attending college as he completes his degree in public health-maybe a nurse one day, but for now, just happy to be back on his feet after a spring filled with health challenges.
Trolls to be met...
Stones to be passed...
and of course, there was some "couples therapy"...
which for us means camping...
complete with fresh wildflowers...
candlelight lunches...
Yep, them skeeters were thick up in Steamboat...
A hike...
or two...
some puddle jumping in the side car...
hiding out from the afternoon rain shower...
some poolside alone time...
botanical gardens to be jogged to...
where, yep, I had to call Hubby for the sag wagon...
the couch to 5k (C25K) app kicked my booty at altitude and a path with minimal shade
and of course
Sunsets to be savored...
Until next time...may you all be enjoying your own dog days of summer!
