Summer Days & Sully’s book

We’re nearing the end of our July vacation ~  and it always amazes me how quickly vacation flies by!

Ahh the lazy days of summer.  It’s hot, sticky and sunny.  Even with my 70SPF I have a warm tan with tan lines where my flip flops go and tank tops end.  As when I look back at all we’ve accomplished and had going these past 2 weeks it’s no wonder we’re both moving a little slow this weekend.

• I arrived home on a Friday after attending a 3 day corporate conference
• Had new window treatments installed (involved moving furniture/etc out of the way and back again)
• Played in a couples golf scramble
  • all in the same day
    • what was I thinking?
    • Say yes and you’ll figure it out later
• Picked my sister up from the plane and, for a week, stayed up late and got up early, still talking
• Visited the big lake (Lake Michigan) 2 x  + Won and lost money at the Casino
• Cried watching “Toy Story 4” and “The Mustang”
• laughed at all the same places in “Bridesmaids”
• Reveled in the ability to sit across the table from each other, laughing until we choked while finishing each others sentences
• Skipped breakfast & enjoyed watermelon and cherries for lunch
• Savored pots of coffee & tea out on the patio with sister, Sully and Hubbs … plus a cold beer or two, too

• Up and outside early and to bed when tired with no alarm clocks – WHEE!
• Celebrated the 4th with amazing fireworks, dancing fireflies and neighbors
• Decorated the hall for the kid’s wedding and hosted the rehearsal dinner, ordered the limo, catering, bar, DJ and more plus managed the details!
• Helped him get ready on his big day
  • Cried with Hubbs and my sister at ^^ above
    • Smiled at his smile when he saw her
    • Cried again
• Witnessed their vows, celebrated by dancing with our boys, my sister, hubbs and friends.
• Polka’d till I lost my breath and then went out and did  it again
• Cleaned up the hall and tumbled into bed
• Got up early  & hosted a gift opening
• Languished in the hot tub
• Cared for, slept with and supervised grand-dog Sully ~ who is adorable and hilarious but a bit like having a 70lb toddler

Today I cooked up brunch, did some catalogue perusing and online shopping but still haven’t started on my books, there’s been no time.   …. but I think I’ll take a page out of Sully’s book and go enjoy a nap in the a/c.
