Twelve hours and ten minutes left of summer vacation


An old cabin down the road from our property. Posted by Hello

The countdown begins. The boy is outside enjoying the last bits of daylight, having a football game with the neighbors. The sneakers are purchased and the backpack is filled. Phew. We took a ride to Battleship Cove on Friday. It's full of decommissioned ships, submarines and helicopters. We went a few years ago and my son's been wanting to go back. After about a half hour in and he tells me that this isn't what he thought it was gonna be and he remembered it as being fun. Oops. My daughter really enjoyed climbing all around the boats and they have a carousel that they've refurbished so that's always a bonus.

We headed to Maine for a cookout this weekend. We bought the land with my parents (thinking 31 acres would be room enough for us all- we might be wrong but time will tell) and they decided to put a camp in right away. Well, what started out as a small camp for two people has literally turned into a small home. It's very big. Well, it isn't huge like, McMansion- 4500 square feet huge, but way bigger than what they originally planned. They had a cookout and invited all of the guys who helped to build it. This was the first time I got to see the spot that the husband cleared out for our camp. It looked really nice and peaceful and woodsy - totally what I wanted it to be.

Well, off to get ready for the daily grind tomorrow.... Oh, and a little something to cheer up all of you fall loving readers know...the leaves are already turning up there!
