Back to Blogging

Well summer is over and it feels like fall is over too and winter is here already. I had to put long pants on yesterday already. I mean it's only October. So I guess I will start blogging more now the the colder weather is settling in. I'm still working a few days a week which is good and so is Jack. Today is a cold rainy day:+( Even the body is settling in for the winter she now sleeps 23 instead of 22 hours a day. We had a great summer this year. It was so busy. The hotel was full from May until October. In two weeks my babies will be 17 years old already. Where has the time gone.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MR. FINN

Today is Finn's second birthday already. Time is going by so fast these days. I wish I could be in Germany today to celebrate:+(

Labor Day Already

Can you believe it this weekend is Labor Day. The official end to summer is coming way too fast. But a lot will be happening this weekend. First on Saturday Stefanie, Rene, Paulina and Finn come to visit for two weeks. I'm so excited to see them. I'm going to take them on the beach, play dress up with Paulina get to know Finn since he was only a few months old the last time I saw him. I will shop with Stefanie and drink beer with Rene. Sounds like fun to me. Also this week is our annual Labor/Birthday/end of summer party on the beach. This is the day we stay until we have to turn on the headlights on the cars. So there will be some serious drinking this weekend. I hope my liver can hold out for one more good weekend:+) Then after this party weekend. on Tuesday my 180 day vacation begins yes my kids go back to school:+) "It's the most wonderful time of the year!!"

Almost over

From my garden

I can't believe how fast summer has gone. It seems like yesterday I was waiting for the hot weather. Now I'm wondering how many days of hot weather we will have yet. (I hope lots) Labor day is in two weeks and then our German family will be here for a visit, I can't wait. I've been working way to many days but I think that will soon slow down also. My garden is still producing many vegetables. BUT now we have an intruder a groundhog was sitting in my garden on his hind legs eating a tomato!! Things are going to have to change there he will either have to vacate or be relocated like Sam's squirrels. BUT the only good thing about summer coming to an end is........the start of school!!!!!!!!!! :)

Too Busy

Jack

Life has been so busy the past few weeks I have not had time to post. My man had a birthday he turned 60. Yes I said 60. I also had a birthday and so did my sister so we have been in the birthday mode. Plus I have been working a lot. The weather has been great, we are getting in lots of beach time. The hotel is pretty full for August and then in September our German family comes to visit:+) Also Katy had her baby on Jack's birthday his name is Miles and he has the most beautiful strawberry blond hair and lots of it. I hope I can go and visit soon. The boys went to Canada for a few days fishing with some friends. They came home last night all smelly and gross. Four men in a cabin for several days need I say anymore!! hope you like the pictures of Jack's birthday.

Great Holiday

Sally & Jenny
Woody as MJ

The July 4th holiday was great. The weather was hot and the beer was cold. We had the hotel full. And the beach was also full. But we got there early so it was OK. Also on the beach we had a tribute to Michael Jackson we played his music and had WOODY dressed as him people even stopped by to have their pictures taken with him. Yesterday was the memorial service for MJ and it was a tear jerker. Yes the man was strange but he was also a great entertainer. Thanks for the music Michael. The weather this week is suppose to be great so hopefully we will get to the beach a few days during the week. The next few weeks are going to be busy, this weekend is Lisa's birthday and next weekend is Jack's 60th birthday celebration!! I have a hard time thinking about Jack turning 60. Well at least he doesn't act like he is 60 and that's great:+)

NO BEER

OMG!!!!! I go to my regular beer store and they are out yes i said out of my beer. I said this can't be true when does the beer truck pull in? They said it only comes on Thursday. Thursday I said I could go into shock by then. BUT hold on yes they found a cold case for me AND when the beer truck arrives they are putting my name on 2 cases so I should be good for the weekend. I did ask them how many cases they order a week of Yungeling Lager Light(bottles) they said 15. Of course I probably drink most of it:+) But they said it is a big seller so they are increasing the order so this doesn't happen to me again. The one guy at the beer store even gave me a hug when he saw the horror on my face when they said NO BEER:+(
