Where did summer go?

I can't believe this weekend it Labor Day weekend already! Where did the summer go? I do love fall, but not so much winter. At least I don't like winters like we had the last 2 years. It does make me appreciate spring and summer though.

I am ready to be done in my garden. I have frozen lots of green beans and corn. I have also canned lots and lots of tomatoes. I have chopped tons of peppers and onions. Now I think it is time to be done. But it will taste wonderful this winter.

The thing I will miss most when summer is over is sitting out on the patio and sitting out by the fire pit. Nothing better than having an adult beverage out on the patio on a Friday or Saturday night.

But with fall comes football. I love going to the high school football games. There is such a sense of excitement, even when it is cold out. It won't be so bad after all.

A great Day Off

The past three weeks have been a blurrrrrrrr. Between catching up on my work and hiring a new employee I have been putting in a lot of hours at the bank. I am still not caught up! I haven't been feeling very well either. I've had a back ache, a headache and feel just yucky! This has been going on for about 2 weeks. I finally went to the doctor yesterdayand I have a bladder infection. I kind of suspected something like that. I originally thought kidney infection because of the backache, but it was just a bladder infection/UTI. Hope I feel better soon. It is even affecting my work. I have been making minor mistakes lately and I hate that.

Today I had the day off. It was fabulous. I slept in until 8:00 and just putzed for awhile. Then I called a friend and we went to Marshall. We had lunch there and hit most of the stores in town looking for a "mother of the groom" small silver purse for another friend. It was a lot of fun. When we got back we went to water aerobics. That was great. I can't get to it most of the time because it starts at 5:15 and I generally don't get home from work until 5:30. :(

Tonight I took all of my tomatoes and skinned them. Tomorrow Randi and I are going to be canning some tomato sauce. That will be delicious this winter!!!!!!!
