Sunday, July 31

5:46 a.m. - Yesterday really turned out to be a beautiful day for weather.  We had a pool day, cooked supper on the Blackstone, and then had a picture perfect night for a backyard campfire - complete with family, conversation, smores, laughs, a few bats flying around...just wonderful.  

Today, I'm hoping to get a visit with Chase.  First, I have to take care of animals.  After the visit with Chase I'm hoping to attend church service at RUMC.  The rest of the day is a question mark...probably another pool day.  It's nice to have a short list of jobs that need attention around the house.

Today, for me, marks the end of summer.  When August rolls around, I typically start leaning into the school year.  I'm not going to start doing anything "official", but I do find myself trying to get my brain and thoughts going.
