August came in with cool breezes and low humidity. It's been a hot summer with many 90 degree days and I'm sure those with pools aren't complaining. However, it's been nice to have windows open at night no need for A/C during the day for the past week. That will change by the weekend with the hot and humid returning and the hazy days from the wildfires making it not so pretty out. Last week I wasn't needed at the hospital and enjoyed the days and it has me thinking that I'm about ready to call it quits with working. I'm putting in 3 days this week and the next few weeks look busier than this summer has been. So, we'll see when I finally say enough is enough. For the time being I'll just buzz along and try and enjoy the end of this summer season. Last Friday we went to camp/picnic night at one of the members of our church who hosts this campout for the church each summer.
They have a nice area for camping, or you can "camp" out in the cabin that they use for an air B&B.
We didn't camp, just came to participate in the dinner portion and enjoy sitting around the fire and socializing with our friends. Everyone brings a side dish and dessert, and our host provided the hot dogs and hamburgers and fixings. It was a really pretty night and even cool enough for a sweatshirt! My kind of weather!
Tents here and there and a pop-up camper too. We're over the overnight, sleep on the ground days, but glad young families came and enjoyed the event.
Speaking of enjoying the event....Annabelle enjoyed taking a walk with me through the trails in the woods. New smells and sounds for her! It wasn't even buggy. Good time! In other news, my Granddaughter, Katie, graduated from BYU Idaho.
Congratulations Peanut! She's back in Oregon with family and I'm sure will be job hunting soon! We love you, Katie! Other news from the Pines involves a new ride! No, not a car but a new ride never-the-less:
Does having a golf cart make us old? Good thing it isn't really mine then! My neighbor across the road was having a garage sale and had 2 golf carts. My niece's hubby had been saying they would like to get one to use in their neighborhood. They live in the same neighborhood as my sister. So, I texted Midge and sent a pic of the 2 carts and asked if they would want to buy one. Well, she bought one instead! She decided on the electric one because it has more seating and is quieter. I'm sure the family out there will use it for going back and forth between homes and Midge can use it in her business too. Anyway, my nephew will be coming out in a couple of weeks with his trailer to pick it up. In the meantime, I will just have to keep trying it out to make sure it's a good ride! Time to hit the hay as tomorrow is a get up early day. It should be a short work time though and then Jack and I will have lunch with his high school group that gets together once a month. Have a good rest of the week everyone!

Congratulations to Katie! What fun to have a church outing. I would have done what you did and not camped overnight. We were thinking of getting ourselves a golf cart here, so no I dont think it makes you old. :-) Yours looks great! Janice
Congrats to Katie! Good luck to her. I don't blame you for not wanting to camp. Maybe it's me, but I am just beyond wanting to sleep outside! I wonder what you took to that outing? I bet it was great! Take care! xx
It seems with us and church camping is years ago. But I remember it fondly and it was always a great time and great fellowship;
Good deal on the golf cart, nice of you. I am seeing more golf carts in our area as the city now allows them on some public roads. Not sure I like the idea yet. Anyway enjoyed the visit... from NC
You and Jack sure do keep busy between you family, church, and friend events!! There are times when I miss the social side of life. Have fun with "trying out" the golf cart. Our township passed an ordinance a few years ago allowing utv's on our roads. It's HORRIBLE!! People from town come out en masse (especially on weekends) and bunches of them fly by at once. Then the neighbor nearest me allows others to go through their land so I feel like I live in the middle of a race track. Oh, and they "walk" their two (very yippy) dogs by jumping on their 4-wheelers and drive up and down the field between us with the dogs chasing them (and yipping non-stop). How do you spell "cranky"??: ME. :-( Golfcarts I could handle LOL.
PS...congrats to Miss Katie!!! And best wishes for a great future ahead!
Congrats to Katie! I hope she finds a great job that she loves! Sounds like your summer is going well. See you again soon!
congrats to Katie big accomplishment! We are going into the heat again we have been very nice great cool evenings and mornings. But sadly, back comes the heat.
the cookout gathering sounds like fun. But not the camping out ick.
