Summer (I guess)





Alright. I've got to have something worth talking about.....


Summer in Petoskey has been beautiful and cool. Not, I repeat not beautifully cool. Martin told me the other day that he was at a business lunch and the men around the table were saying how much they've loved the summer because they haven't been sweating and it hasn't been too hot. Am I in some other world? Summer used to mean something. Like weather that made ice-cream instantly melt, and ice tea glasses sweat. You get none of that up here. And I just keep shaking my head when I think: "I'm a northerner". Maybe I only thought I was. This is just silly.

We have had lots of rain lately which has made the trees, lawns, and flowers stunning. I love summer wildflowers. We played a round of golf today at a new course and I couldn't stop saying how beautiful everything looked. I'm thankful to have a husband that understands my need to verbalize those thoughts. He agrees every time and never gets tired of me saying it.
Despite the weather, we've managed to have some fun outdoor activities with friends,, and have had several out-of-town friends and family stay with us. We love to host people for their vacation to Petoskey.
I turned 30. And for my bday, we went to Chicago (of course). Always a good time there.

More babies have been born and conceived. I'm convinced my friends are aiming for doubling the population of this town in 5 years. Which, is fine with me. I think this town could use more people in it. Year-round.

Turns out I don't have much to talk about. It's nice to sit for a minute and collect thoughts though.
