| Hopefully the rain makes it all the way here! |
Apparently an early summer means an early fall, which I am all for. We have had a little rain, which is a blessing, and currently have dark clouds heading our way. It is expected to have temps in the low 90's and upper 80's this week AND a chance for rain everyday, which is virtually unheard of in Texas in the summer. Maybe one day I can not worry about breaking a leg in my backyard because I fell in one of the cracks. I did manage to severely jam or break my little toe and it has turned a lovely painful purple color. This means I have had to sit with my feet elevated more and we all know how much I love to sit still!

Me watching everyone else walk the dog because of my toe. I tried to go, but it was too painful.

We actually put the skins of the camper back on this week! It is happening....we finally stopped taking things off and are actually putting it back together. Now, we still have a couple more things to take off, but they are not quite as big of undertaking as the sides were. I am optimistic we might be completely done next month....though my husband and I have doubts as to whether or not it will actually end. It has taken FOREVER and included lots of sweat, blood (literally) and tears and I will be glad to NOT do it anymore.

It is back to school time this week and overall it has gone smoother than I anticipated. It is always a little sad to say goodbye to the somewhat relaxed days of summer, but this summer was really hot and we didn't travel so I am ready for fall and our 2nd annual Branson trip. The girls and I have started the BIG east trip planning. D isn't so sure we can go 5 weeks without wanting to come back and would like to shorten it to 3 weeks, but even at 5 weeks we are missing a lot and 3 weeks would mean a lot longer driving days. We will see how it works out. As long as we can find someone to take care of the chickens and check on the house I think we could do longer because the temps will be a lot cooler than on the west coast trip.

| The library did a mini golf day and it was really fun! |

| My red golf ball is stuck between the cup and book stand. I almost won that hole! |

| Time of year to make jellies. My father in law brought me several lbs of wild grapes. |
 |
| So yummy! Though mine never really set since I only use half the sugar, but great sauce. |
 |
| Kids enjoy cooler temps this week. I hope the cooler temps will stay, but know they won't. |
 |
| We have to remember the NON camper renovation moments. You know when we don't want to scream at each other. |
