Where has summer gone

Its now the middle of September, and Im thinking where did the summer go? I have been busy with my home project, grandkids. This has been the first summer I havent worked outside the house in almost 20 years.

Junkin

I love to go junkin, I know since I was young that I love looking at auctions, yard sales and all around junk stores.

Im not so good at turning junk into treasures but I try. Going to Hartville in north Canton Ohio there were tons of vendors at the out door flea market. Locally we have a flea market setup every Thursday and Saturday. I love going and so does my grand daughter.

30th high school class reunion

I had a blast. I got to see high school friends that I havent seen in 30 years. Most have changed, some not.

The bridge at sciotoville

We were out driving and I took some pictures of the largest railroad trellis bridge in the united states. It has been there for as long as I can remember

The lazy days of summer-not

For the past 2 weeks all I have done is be on the run, going here and there and just seems everywhere. I go over in my mind all the things I need to get done and thinking how in the world am I ever going to find the time.

The 4th was a happy day, family picnic and afterwards I was ready to come home and sleep. Our pool is giving us fits, I just wish I could finally get it right! I did get a small table painted and put my pflatzgraff lamp on it. I love it and it was a steal at $5.00.

I have been thinking the few days how life can changed in an instant. This time last year I was working a job that I truly loved and how could I have known that in less than 2 months I would unemployed.

Here I am 48 and having to start over in the work force. I have been working for the last 20 years and this is the first summer that I have had time off.

I miss the people and the interaction with others, that is one reason why I have started this blog.
I have ideas to share, stories to tell, and would love to share every day life.

working on the pool

Well we opened our swimming pool yesterday, all in all it wasnt as dirty as I thought it would be.
Next Ill be cleaning the deck and putting out our deck furniture. It has been raining off and on for a couple of weeks. During the first of the month it was so hot.
