Summer is over.

My hostas sprout their flowers in late August. They are coming up. The flowers blooming bring up two distinct thoughts. Six years ago we were buying this house and all of my "new house" photos show the hostas in bloom. And; when the hostas bloom--summer is over. As I played outside with the neighbors this evening, I had to check the time. When I realized it was only 6:50, but the light outside made it feel like 7:30...I knew summer was over. When I checked the Richfield Municipal Pool schedule and realized it closed on Sunday. I knew summer was over.

August flew by. Of course, selling (six days!) and buying homes, attending my 20-year high school reunion out of town, entertaining guests, and celebratng Sasha's 2nd birthday helped keep the pace of the month moving at the speed of light.

Memorial Day weekend...staycation. Fourth of July...staycation. Labor Day weekend.....STAYCATION.

July 2008 Catch-Up

Our July went by in a flash as we moved on from Anya's 4th birthday. We planned a great "staycation" for July 4th. It always seems like every other family in Minneapolis leaves that weekend. But, we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves at home doing a whole lot of NO planning.

The biggest news: House went on the market the last week of the month. Lots of work went into it, including hoards of packing, organizing each and every drawer, and keeping the house WAY clean.

Goodbye middle of summer, hello end of summer.

STILL HERE AND COMMITTED

Still here and committed to my blog! The last six weeks will definitively go down as some of the busiest weeks of our lives. Dane got a new job with Honeywell, we decided to put the house on the market, and have been traveling and having guests. Not to mention, we are enjoying summer.

Sasha turns two in less than two weeks...wow.

So, here is the "stake" in the ground...I'll be back with more news very, very soon.
