Summer of Fun Weeks 6-7-8

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.
