Almost September

Here we are at the end of the summer - Labor Day Weekend already! We don't have a clue where the time went, but we have had a great summer here in Portland. We've been doing water aerobics six days a week, Donna has a knitting group with both new and experienced knitters, and Tom is working as a camp host again this year. In between all this we have taken a few day trips, gone to movies, eaten out and visited with friends. Our friends, Mary and Paul Wells, returned from their summer trip to Alaska and spent a few days with us. We had a great time. Mary and Donna did lots of yarn shopping and we also had some good meals together and lots of visiting. We hated to see them leave but will see them again this winter. Some more friends, Ralph and Cheryl, are joining us this coming week for a couple of days. We always have a great time together. We only have another month left here in Portland (whine) and then we'll be heading south again for the winter with a stop off in Ukiah, CA, to see our granddaughter and family. She's in 2nd grade this year and VERY busy. Life is good and we hope you have all had a great summer.
