I have to say that I have had a wonderful summer. Having the pool right here has made it so relaxing for me. The mountains are just beautiful. Life is nice and slow around here too.
When I worked, I always had the summer off, and spent it on the beach. I felt that I deserved to relax and enjoy myself, and I just love the sun and the ocean. Now that I am retired, I was surprised to find that I still feel that the summer is a time to relax. The people who came up for the summer are so nice. There is a small group of us who go to the pool almost every day, and I really like everyone. We have had some sun almost every day, so I see them a lot.
This month, I'll have the kids more because camp is over, and Jessie doesn't feel great. They are such a pleasure, and I am happy that I can help Jessie out.
The fall will work itself out. It is just so beautiful here, and the fall is breathtaking. I have the Catskill Women's Network twice a month, and my writer's group once a week. I'm going to try yoga again, and look for a pottery workshop. Mackenzie is going into 7th grade! The littles will be in 2nd grade, which is one of the nicest grades in school. They learn so much!
They are all doing very well in school, so the only anxiety is Mackenzie's teenage angst. I'm hoping Mackenzie goes for Junior Honor Society. It is a big committment, and I hope she isn't lazy about it.
I'm still waiting for Mr. Wonderful.
I can't think of a nicer life for myself!
