Today is the first of August! Today, looking out the window, I would think summer is over. It's in the mid sixties, raining, thunder and lightning. Seems more like September than August. Nice change from the heat though! At least for a while. They say the heat will return later this week.
Checked my email this morning and Tim had sent some pictures from Tahoe. Lucky guy huh? He's there playing golf with some clients and colleagues. Hope it's not raining for them. He says it is remarkably beautiful there and one day he wants to take Gracie and me. Hope he has fun and plays well. Or just has fun!!! But, not as much fun as he had on his trip to California. The day before he came home he emailed me pictures of the Card Girls from a fight he had attended. No, I wont be posting them here (too racy for the 'family' blog)! The next time I hear from him, the flight home has been diverted to Vegas and he is being taken by ambulance to the hospital to be treated for severe dehydration and heat exhaustion. So, I ask you...was he really sick or did those lovely (and I use the term loosely, a word more appropriate) ladies (again) need a chapperone back to Vegas? I guess it is true. "What happens in Vegas....." Really, he was very sick and we were so worried. He was able to come home the next morning and is on the mend. So remember to drink lots of fluids!!!
Gracie is so very excited to start Kindergarten in a little over a month. Her school is being built and they are fast tracking it to complete by September. We need to begin school shopping soon. Luckily (at least Mom is happy) she will be wearing a uniform, so they shopping should be pretty simple. She is most excited about the backpack she has chosen. Purple of course! And her lunch box. Again, purple. She is going to do the full day kindergarten. Hopefully, I will handle it as well as she does! Her best friend "Lil' Rachael" started school this morning and Gracie was a little blue! But, these two have had a great time together this summer! Evidence in the picture of our little Pop Stars! She also has had many adventures with Jackson, "Big Rachel", Sammy, Annika, Bekah, Ruthie and Elizebeth! Enjoy some of the pictures of the summer we've had so far!
Mamma has had a busy summer as well. I have been donating some time to Channing Hall (Gracie's new school). I am working as a liason between the Channing Board of Directors and the Construction Co. and Architect. So, some of my previous professional skills haven't gone completely out the door since I have been home growing Gracie. We have also made a few trips to the pool, the zoo, park and of course lots of bike riding! And, Mamma is getting older! Her 20 year reunion is this weekend. Yikes! Actually, it will be a great time to catch up with some of the friends that I haven't seen in awhile and those I don't see often enough!
Enjoy the pics and I will try to post sooner than later!!!
