SPEEDY MCCREADY
Posts: 24,809
Mine has be kind of so-so. It basically rained here in Chicago, the entire month of June. I really wasn't able to get any fishing in due to the constant north winds on Lake Michigan, and the cool temps. Kathy and I did enjoy a nice 4 day weekend in Ohio(nice cabin, fishing, grilling), that was topped off by seeing The Rolling Stones. We have a couple Cubs gamed planned for later in the year, which should be fun. Last weekend was spent in downtown Chicago. We got a fancy schmancy hotel, and pretended we were rich. Every once in a while its nice to be pampered. We went to Lawry's Prime Rib, and enjoyed a nice elegant dinner. Also checked out Navy Pier. Not a bad weekend. I am hoping to get to the pool a few times in the next 4 weeks.
Anyway.
How has YOUR Summer been?

Is that better Speedy?
You never really had to begin with.
Sometimes it's not the song that makes you emotional it's the people and things that come to your mind when you hear it.
Thanks for asking, Speedy, but we haven't done much of anything! Looks like no vacation this year. I like your idea of spending a weekend in a nice hotel
Thank you!
What kind of veggies you have going?
So far my tomatoes are just doing ok, but my jalapenos are kicking some serious ass. My green peppers are once again non-existent. Going to be a few weeks before my green beans and zucchini show up.

I took 2 weeks off between jobs in June, and it rained every damned day. I was never so depressed in my life! But what can you do? So now I have to work a full year, before I get 2 weeks vacation. But come next July, when my vacation arrives, Kathy and I are going to plan a nice 10 day getaway for my 50th. Well, a belated 50th.
Yeah the 'pretend you are wealthy" weekend worked out. We spent $140 on a dinner for 2, Lobster and Prime Rib, and it was great. Of course that $140 could have bought us 2 weeks worth of groceries, but every once in a while its nice to be pampered.

Weather has been unpredictable as usual here in Ireland but we've had some great weather and it's great having the long days.
Summer always makes me feel so nostalgic, I just can't decide if it's happy or sad nostalgia...
Summer goes by WAY to damned fast!!!
And the scary part?
Spring, Fall, and Winter go by just as FAST!!!!
Hahahahaha

We made it up to the Smoky Mountains today and it was like reaching heaven. This is where we have been vacationing the last few summers so it made a good stop on the way up to the new house.
The next few weeks we get to mix having a bit of summer with setting up the new house in Ohio.
What a relief to finish the project of selling the old house.

I'm definitely going to suggest the pampered weekend.
I can't help dreading the nine months of winter that will start in three weeks or so.
Like you said, Moving way too fast.
What You Giving
I suggest you step out on your Porch.
Run away my son. See it all. Oh, See the World!

We're only 1/2 way they it, but school starts in 2 weeks. Pretty early this year. Kind of hosing my Williamsport plans for Little League World Series, but we finalized plans today and we made it work for the first two days. Not really, you have no root beer

School starts in about 3 weeks and I'm hoping we can squeeze a quick vacation to the coast in. As always, summer seems to speed by.
Let me run into the rain . . . .to shine a human light today . . .
And now I'm back and getting ready to return to work on Tuesday. That part is a bummer.
