Where did the summer go?

I can't believe it is near the end of the first week in August!! It has been very busy now that football season has started--my son practices 6 days a week, 2 hours a day; we have had equipment pick-up day; parent meeting; and we're trying to get ready for school starting next week; and then, of course, there's finishing up the editing on my latest book! No wonder I seem to have missed some time somewhere along the line! To top things off, I got a 2nd degree burn on my leg a couple of days ago from getting too close to the exhaust pipe of the truck as we unloaded my son's football gear! Better me than him! It actually made a kind of cool crescent moon shape on my leg-almost like a tattoo! Won't be doing that trick again! Well, I guess I better get back to work--the book won't finish itself and I'm anxious to get it done! I believe it will help a lot of people. At least that's my intention. Have a great summer's end everyone!

San Diego

Leaving right after football camp Friday night to go to San Diego for a family reunion and my dad's birthday. He's 73 and still hanging in there. It will be fun to see everyone--haven't seen my daughter and grandson for a month and I really miss them. My parents went with us to Lake Tahoe earlier this month so that was nice. It is going to be busy this weekend though, supposed to be getting our SUV, doing the reunion, and Ryan will miss equipment pick-up for football, as well as the last day of camp. Oh well, we'll just have to work around things and make-up time. Meanwhile, we'll enjoy the beach down at Mission Bay Saturday and have fun with family! Hope it's good weather--oh yeah, I almost forgot--it's southern California! :)
