It must be Autumn. The air is cool, the sky is cloudy, and the trees are all standing around sighing, waiting for the inevitable browning of the leaves.
Is summer really over?
To say it passed quickly would be an understatement, although that only expresses the sentiment and not the factual passage of time. In reality, it passed no slower nor faster than any other season, but there were a lot more activities crowded into it.
Looking at the calendar which is posted on my wall, I can see off-hand the following events:
* A visit from the Greens in May
* Memorial Day weekend
* Home School try-out (on-going through June-July)
* A business trip to Long Beach around Memorial Day
* Vacation Bible School - planning meetings scattered throughout May, June and July
* A week of Gerber Scout camp with Adam in June
* A day-trip to Notre Dame on July 2nd
* A visit from the Guabs on July 3rd
* Adam to Imaginary Worlds camp
* The reunion trip to Indiana in early July
* VBS during the last week of July
* Kids in church camp the first week of August
* A trip to Pittsburgh to visit the Joneses
* The boys' trip to Washington
* Two overnighters to Chicago in mid-August
* Another business trip to Long Beach in August
Lots of other stuff that isn't on my calendar. Whew! Makes me tired just looking at it. Wish I could somehow catch up on all the things I didn't get around to doing this summer, but just don't have the energy left.
Maybe a little guitar would help...
