Farewell to Summer

Even though fall won't officially be here for another week or two, Labor Day always signals the end of summer. Last Sat. the temperature hovered around 100*, by Monday it had dropped 40*, so it's starting to feel like fall, too. It's time to take the Summer Fun list off the refrigerator and replace it with a Fall Fun list, which will be much shorter! I am really glad I made that list. We didn't accomplish everything, but that wasn't the point. It helped me focus on doing fun things with Jonathan, and it worked!

There's a lot of check marks on there and we did most everything. Some things just didn't work out, like going to a park in neighboring Ohio for a pontoon boat ride. They are only offered on week-ends, and road construction every week-end this summer had I-75 reduced to one lane of traffic. I decided a boat ride (which we did last year) was not worth the time we'd have to spend sitting in traffic.

Making a seasonal fun list is definitely something I will continue to do.  It serves as a visual reminder to make sure we don't let the seasons slip by without having a little fun and making lasting memories.
