TBD on Ning

Tell me what you've been up to this summer.

I don't post here a lot, but I check in every day. What have you been up to this summer?

In July I drove my mom to Hopkinsville, Kentucky (from Minnesota) so she could attend her 60-year high school class reunion.

This year's garden is a disaster. Too much rain = too many weeds.

We rented out our hay field this summer to a couple local farmers who are planted corn. It's over 9' tall.

Lars bought fencing to enclose the new chicken house. We may get chickens this fall.

I met my newest cousin, Claire, on Tuesday. She's 6 weeks old and adorable.

As my Grandma Olson used to say, "Now you tell one."

I was taller in my younger days.

So was I. Six foot one and then I dropped to 5' 10". Knee replacement surgery put me back a 6'.

All I have to say is: if you haven't looked at BAF's photos, you are really missing something

that is awesome.

I take snapshots, She composes art.

Summer?....Crap...It's almost over!!!

I have nothing to report, sad to say.

Work..weekend...work...weekend.

Pitiful..I haven't even been to the 'big lake' and it's only 30 miles away...

I lived my summer vicariously through BAF and Robbie...:-)

I have not posted in sometime and as summer is coming to an end, I flip over and read great stories about fine people. I have been busy working, family has been here to visit. I did not have time to travel this summer, but I plan to do that in winter.

Thanks for this thread, D.D., & for sharing a bit of your summer w/us.

I have taken on a new job, which I think I'm going to like a lot.

I finally gutted my bedroom & closet & got them very nicely organized. I am continuing a large-scale paring down process so that we can really embrace the "not-so-big-house" & "not-so-big-life" philosophies. My beloved & I found a most lovely place to share & call home. He moved in a couple of months ago & I plan to move in in a couple of weeks.

One of my beloved senior dogs has relapsed into some significant age-related-dementia-separation-anxiety, which is quite stressful on both her & me.

We cancelled our summer vacation plans due to the moves, but have scheduled a mini-vacation next month. My first camping trip! We're going to "The Festy" in VA. It's a 3-day Bluegrass-&-a-lot-more Music Festival w/a trail run, a Mountain Bike race, yoga & just generally a fun looking time. I'm really looking forward to it!
