Just Like That

Summer is over!  Ryan went back to the local high school yesterday.  He was eager to get back to band. The first 3 hours of his day are in band.  The rest of his day is AP Literature, Honors Pre Calculus, US History, and Anatomy/Physiology.  He will be very busy with 3 evening band rehearsals, football games, and band competitions.  Here we go!

Grace, Trevor and I still have until August 10th before we launch our new adventure of online school.  I have been attending online training for the computer system that I must learn.  I feel well supported and ready.  We are working on getting our desks ready.  I purged a bunch of things.  Yay!

We have also continued to ride our bikes at least 25 miles a week.  The humidity has made riding a challenge, but we are not allowing it to stop us.  Last Saturday we rode over 12 miles on a trail in a town half an hour away with my parents.  I hope we can go back soon.

The garden is growing.  We cannot eat all the cherry tomatoes, so Jeff took some in to the office today.  I like that kind of problem.  I am hoping the big tomatoes will ripen soon, but not all at once.  The cucumbers have slowed way down.  I enjoyed making refrigerator pickles.

We went with Mom on an adventure to find our great grandparent's graves.  It had been awhile since we had been there, most likely when Grandpa died in the late 80's!  It is kind of far away, and we just don't get out there.  They are  in Heaven, anyway.  But it is nice to see that the graves are looked after.

Hope your summer is going well!

  1. Glad you have been enjoying yourself. Your garden looks wonderful! School started today for us. Only a half day. I am anxious for hubby to pull into the drive. :) It seems that summer flew by. I am not quiet ready, but here we go anyway!

  2. We are busy, but we are also putting aside some things that don't need to be there. We will have a great school year!

  3. Wow! Back to school already. We'll start toward the end of August. I have all our books, just not organized yet. Sounds like your oldest has a full year ahead. That is great on your bike riding, I need to be better about pushing us to get outside even when it's so hot. Take care, Heather

    1. This summer was the fastest ever. I'm surprised school gets going before Labor Day up there. I'd want to be outside as long as possible before snow flies!

  5. Wow, school already? I know I have to check our schedule soon, but being Paulie's last year, neither of us want to start anytime soon. :)

  6. Happy new school year! We're only half way through our summer vacation, and I'm just starting the planning; I'm glad we still have a month off, but you sound ready to go.

    May God bless this new year for you!
