Okay, so the real reason that I haven’t been keeping up on the blog is that I’ve been really busy this summer. Here’s a quick digest of everything that went on:
It started off with my trip to Dallas to see my Brother, Sister (-in-law), and Niece for a weekend full of fun and family. We went to the park, to Downtown McKinney, to Downtown Dallas, and to a few other various places around town.
Once I got home, I adopted Brutus.
I took Red for many, many excursions around town.
I went camping in June, July, and September, each time at a different Illinois State Park.
I celebrated the birthdays of a few friends.
I went to Chicago a couple of times and Indianapolis once.
I helped J & J repaint the inside of their home.
I started rehearsing with the Philharmonic Chorale again.
Somewhere in there I found time to relandscape an area at the front of my house, but seriously only mowed the lawn about 6 times over the 3 months of summer.
This was probably one of the most exciting summers I’ve had in a REALLY long time, and I loved it. It was fun to be able to see so many friends and relatives in various places. However, I’m also glad that the majority of my travels have come to an end for a few months. There are a few day- and weeekend-trips planned, but nothing too major.
Along with being in town a bit more, I think I might have a bit more time to blog. I am going to try to blog once a week for a while, and then hopefully I can get back to a higher frequency.
