Summer is over

So now what?

How many vacations did you take? How many books did you read? Better yet, how many books did you write? What did you buy? What did you eat? How many parties did you attend? What did you wear? What movies did you watch? How much did you drink? How far did you drive?

Summer is suppose to be when people slow down and do all those adventures called vacations until the leaves change color and the chill is in the air and we hibernate into binge watching. We put away our flowered shirts and little boy pants and pulls out the woolies and stocking caps.

Still no one discusses how many times they cut the grass or had to take the dog to the vet or how they entertained the children away from school.

Summer here has been hot (hotter than normal whatever that is) and dry. This year was too hot to do much more than sweat. This may become the trending future so try to adapt. Hope you got your air conditioning adjusted in your house and your car and don’t worry about the power grid.

So now it is time to put skeletons and spider webs in the yard and start gorging on turkey and cranberry sauce and waiting for Santa and the champagne.

Then it will be time to start thinking about checking hotel rates and flight schedules for the next summer get-a-way.
