The summer is quickly coming to an end. The daylight hours are starting to decline and the leaves are beginning their evolving into a fall spectacular. Pat and I both really enjoyed being back in a “sticks and bricks” home for the summer. We split our time between working on the place and getting out and seeing some local attractions. I will review our summer outings in today’s blog update. I was going to name this update “What I Did on My Summer Vacation,” but decided that since retirement, I’m always on vacation! Except for all those chores that arrive with owning a home again…yikes!
