Not really since it doesn't officially end until September 21. But, Mary's back to school and we understand so are a few people in Dundee and other parts.
Still, it doesn't feel like it. Hot and muggy.
Looking back, we hope you all enjoyed the past three months as much as we did. The best part of summer is being outside, and getting to the outside without gloves and boots, and the extra daylight hours, and the nighttime noises.
The big project of the last couple of weeks was getting Annie settled. John flew up to Albany and helped Mary load up the van with one more load of stuff. We drove over and spent a Sunday with Annie in her new abode, which looks real nice. Natick is a nice town, and she's just a couple of blocks off the main square, where there are shops and arts workshops and ice cream stores! All you need.
Annie's started work, after a couple of weeks of orientation. She's going through all the details of getting transferred to Mass - car registration and insurance and all that fun paperwork stuff.
We spent a few more days back in Pittsfield doing odd job chores. A story - John dug out a little firepit in the yard, and one night we lit a fire and when it got darl, we treated ourselves to smores. After we ate way too many of those, we heard a loud snorting and grunting noise from the bushes nearby. Fight or flight? We were packed up and outtathere in seconds before we became some one else's treat.
Our project still hasn't started as we're waiting on the paperwork from our contractor. Seems like a pattern here. We saw John and Marilyn a few times.
On the way back, we stopped and had lunch with Grandma who looks good. She was in the middle of visits to eye doctors and dentists and lung doctors, but things seem to be stable. By the way, she is no longer with a computer, so will need regular old postage to keep connected.
Last Sunday, Joe, Margaret and Adam came by for brunch. We heard about Joe's trip to Frisco and Margaret and Adam's trip to Chicago. Sounds very enjoyable. Joe was out of sorts a bit, thinking he caught something in California, and sure enough a couple of days later he called and said he had mono. He's still working, but at least he knows now.
On the social scene, we were out with friends from Peru two times this week, and Mary joined her friend Gerry on Constitution Ave, waiting for the Kennedy procession to roll by. John took a nap.
Next weekend's a long one. We've got baseball tickets! So, that's the news from here! Hope you're all well!
