Some are sad because this weekend marks the end of the summer vacation season. Kids are going back to school. A lot are already back. Less daylight. Cooler weather.
I like it for the same reasons, especially the cooler weather.
Fall is a great time of year. Unfortunately, winter follows.
We'll climb that mountain when we get there.
After this week, we can all use a holiday weekend to relax.
You might be wondering how I fared in the storm. Bottom line: It could have been worse. I took a family member to a medical appointment in the morning, a 30 minute drive each way. Hey people, slow down! Visibility was awful. Ponding on the interstate. Most people drive like it was summer and 75-- 75 degrees and 75 miles per hour.
I had a social engagement in the afternoon, which was lovely. Fortunately, it was only a two mile drive. It was a short walk from the car to the restaurant and I still got soaked.
At home, there was a two minute power outage and super slow internet. When I see what some neighbord endured, I have nothing to complain about.
I hope the start of the holiday weekend finds you happy, safe, warm, dry and well.
