About Time

It is about time I updated this blog. I’ve just been a little bit of a scrooge since summer decided not to arrive this year. But wait, the forecast says it’s going to be nice Tuesday through Thursday. Again, it’s about time!

Bill and I have been keeping it pretty low-key. (We’re quite good at that!) I did do a priceline bid on tickets to Vegas, but my bid was too low, and I’m too cheap to spend more. That was my attempt at spontaneity this year. Maybe we’ll make our way up the North Shore before August leaves us.

We did take a trip into the BWCA at the end of July. (It was my dad and Bill’s 3rd trip of the season, and they’ll head out again next week.) Bill’s parents joined us on this trip, and aside from a day with some strong headwinds and a bit of rain on our way out, it was a pretty successful trip. I really do enjoy being out in the woods. (I’m not much of a paddler, though. Much more comfortable in the “princess seat” in the middle of the canoe.) 🙂

I wish I had a more flattering picture to share, but this is the only group shot we got. We got back about an hour before Katie made it up to Cook for the weekend. We got to see pictures of her trip to Europe and catch up a bit.

We also made it out of the woods in time for me to catch Amy on the end of her trip up north. April, Trish, Amy, and I met for lunch at Country Roads – a distant second to our annual Dells trip, but definately enjoyable. Now we’ve got to make plans for an October adventure. Get planning, ladies!

There’s been lunch with my mom & grandma, visiting Gram and Gramp A, a motorcycle ride, Diggnation watching, and lots of other little tid bits to our days. Of course there’s been more time playing with my favorite babies. They’re both starting to smile and coo a lot now, which for some reason captivates me.

And now, it’s about time I get myself into bed and get ready for another good week. This time, with some sun!
