Happy Summer to all 09-16-08

Happy Summer to all - (Jill W.)

Hi everyone,

I am sure everyone is very busy with summer fun....what's left of summer.
The leaves are starting to turn here in Wisconsin already.
The crickettes are chirping at night as well.
A sure sign of what's to come.

Les and I are taking as many fun weekend trips as possible.
Last weekend we went down to the lakefront for lunch, then went to
Port Washington to see the 4 or was it 5 "Tall Ships" that were in port
for several days.
Hundreds of people were down there.
Lots of food, music etc.
Then went to Dawn's for the rest of the early evening.
It was a great day.......

I hope that everyone is having a great summer. I am still planning on retiring the end of next year. Early retirement is fine with me. Work has been the same with lousy management, but just to know that there is an end in sight makes me feel warm and fuzzy. Hi to all.

Jill

Wow, I've been checking in every few days and was beginning to think everyone disappeared. Glad to see your post, Pam.

Sounds like you've been keeping busy. I have 12 days of vacation to use before 10/15 so have a couple things planned. Marsha and I are going to Branson for a couple days. Believe it or not, I live a 3 hour drive away and have never been there and its in my own state.

I've joked in the past that when I retire, I'm going to start taking those day trips with the senior citizen groups. Well, my bank started a new club and that's exactly what they do so I'm signed up for a day trip to Kansas City to see Marion Ross in "The Last Romance." When I made my reservation, I was told that only ladies had signed up for that one which made sense since most men don't care about romantic plays etc . There's a day trip to Lexington (home of Harry Truman) next month, in November there's an overnight "Christmas in Branson" (yup, going back then to see Andy Williams and I forgot which other show) and in December another day trip to KC to see the Rockettes. So I guess I'm starting my retirement plans early.

Have also had a few unpleasant things happen recently which is part of why I haven't posted or communicated with anyone but I won't go into those things now.

Have a nice weekend, wherever you're going.

And hello to anyone else who happens to check in here occasionally.

I do enjoy the day trips better than going overnight, but I have done both.

Yep, Pam and Ruth, as you get older your priorities do change. As well as lots of other things.

We have to go with the flow or stay home and brood.

Have a good weekend, everyone. It is pretty hot here now.

It's kind of depressing around here. The evenings are starting to get shorter and the kids went back to school this week. The leaves are starting to turn here in Ohio as well and it's hot. Some things in our garden are still going strong though. We're still getting green beans out of the garden and they're sooooo good.

Has anyone been watching the Olympics?

Joseph Biden is Barack Obama's running mate.....WOO HOO!
