End of summer is near

Well the end of summer is near. It is almost time for the kids to go back to school and then right after that the weather will change and start to cool off. It will be time to put away the flip flops and dig out the boots and jackets. I love wearing my boots, but I always miss my sandals. I can’t believe that autumn is so close. It seems like summer just got here and now it is almost gone.

Where did the time fly to? I have no idea, but I think I had better make the most of what is left of summer. Perhaps a couple of trips to the sand bar down at the river, or to the creek bottom where we gather to swim. I refuse to let anymore of summer get away from me. So I am out of here to go find something to do. Later Gators.

You never know

You never know where life it going to take you. I have been all over this country. Lived everywhere it seems, but each place I have been I have met great people. I have also met some not so great people. I miss those whom I have had to leave behind, but I try to keep in touch as much as I can, by phone or online.

I was fortunate to be able to talk to my brother a couple of days ago. He has his own lawn care company. He has had it for a really long time and has built it from the ground up all on his own. He does a really good job with it and I am very proud of him. I am hoping that he will come visit me soon. At least he said he was going to scoop up dad and head up this was in a couple of months. I can’t wait to see him. So anyway, I will let you go. Have a great day.

Dinner

Last nights dinner was amazing. My sister in law made this glazed chicken tenders entree that was to die for. It was so simple too. All she did was take some Zesty Italian salad dressing mixed with some honey and pour it over the chicken tenders in the skillet. Then she simmered them until the chicken was cooked through and the sauce turned a pretty brown color. I will have to remember that recipe because we really loved it. I like to learn how to make new dishes because eating the same stuff all the time can get boring. I don’t like boring food.

On the river

I wan to go out on the river this weekend so bad. I am waiting for my brother in law to finish fixing his boat, then we are all going camping and boating on the river. We have so much fun when we do this. We always set up on this island in the middle of the river and camp the whole weekend long. At the end of the island is a sand bar that everyone gathers at in their boats. There is a volley ball net set up that stays there always and we call the sand bar Party Cove. I love it here. I would not want to live anywhere else.
