Happy Monday! In light of the current events, our economy, and our current credit rating as a country, it's safe to say we've seen better days. If we want to look at a brighter side, the weather this summer has been heavenly! I know, that's a big jump from a serious subject to the weather, but it also speaks to how far we have to go to choose to see the bright side.
School starts next week for Mason and the following week for me. Dave got back to school last week and in true Hero form, he's been working hard all summer long! As for fun, well we've had our fair share of good times this summer. Most of which have been low to no cost, like spending time at the river. We live just a mile and a half from the confluence so to pack a little lunch and our sunscreen is super simple. Mason and I have been spending lots of time building dams, skipping rocks and something unique - giving gifts to the river. We take colored Sharpies and decorate river rocks with messages like "Peace," "Love," and one of my favorites that Mason made, "Summer Rocks" which provides a double meaning. When you place them back in the water, the colors light up, they are just beautiful! We leave them there when we leave and it's a wonderful feeling to hear the squeals of joy when a group comes in behind us to swim where we've just been. I don't know if people take them or toss them in the deeper parts of the river, but when we've returned the next day, they are gone.
Though summer is winding down, we have many days of sunshine and gorgeous weather left. I was just telling a friend that we have been swimming in the river the Sunday after Thanksgiving! It won't be long and the days will be short and the nights will start cooling off, so make the most of what you have today! Happy Monday!
