As it seems to be the routine this summer, I took another blog break while things were crazy busy around here! My parents got here on the 22nd and we celebrated 3 birthdays within that time. My grandma turned 85, my grandpa turned 86 and Jesse turned 39 (the big 4-0 next year!).
We also got in tons of boating and even a little camping. We took Harley for a long weekend up to some timber that Jesse's family owns. I think it was the best weekend of his life! He even got to be off his leash out there, which never happens at home.
I spent quite a bit of time with my parents, of course. My mom and I picked up the new seats for my Rambler and I can't wait to see them in the car! It's in for paint right now, so I should have it back in about a month to get the new carpet put in and the seats will go in then as well.
My dad and I spent a day together tearing apart the car to prep it for paint. We took off the bumpers, trim and all other metal to help get it ready.
My mom and I also had a girls' day in the city eating out and getting our nails done. (of course, mine are pink).
And we got to take my parents out for a day on the boat as well. It was so fun getting to bring them along and show them what we do for fun all summer :)
We wrapped up the weekend with some Labor Day festivities. My town always has a big celebration for Labor Day complete with a carnival, kids games, flea market and parade.
I would say that things should be getting back to normal, but life is anything but normal right now. I've been playing catch up the last couple of days to get all my orders finished up as my shop will be closed from Sept. 11th - Sept. 16th. More on that in a couple weeks!
Harley is such a cutie, and is indeed looking like he's having loads of fun!
ReplyDeleteSounds like you've had a fabulous summer this year! So glad your parents could join you in the boating fun! Harley looks SO adorable in the photos :) Love the pink nails with the silver accent!
ReplyDeleteSo glad you got some R&R. Harley looks so happy! And what fun that your parents got to ride on the boat. My oldest son is a Bicentennial baby, too -- hitting the big 4-0 in 2016. My baby girl turns 28 today. Summer flew by. My first Fall craft fair is only 3 weeks away. Yikes!
ReplyDeleteMy choice of nails always the hot pink... just seems like never can get out from pinkish choices :) Harley is too cute, seems like had recent hear-cut ?
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun and busy summer! We all need a blog break now and then. I've been neglecting mine badly.Now that summer is about over, it's time to get ready for the craziness of the holiday season.
ReplyDeleteBet Jesse appreciates you pointing out that after 39 it's the big 4-0! :) Glad you've had so much fun this summer! Can't wait to see your car all done! Harley gets more adorable every time I see him!

ReplyDeleteOh, you have a Rambler! I hope you post pics when it's finished, I'm a sucker for classic cars!
ReplyDeleteHarley does look like he's having the time of his life! That floofy tail is just priceless! Sounds like your parents had a great visit and no doubt enjoyed their boat ride. I've been seeing the manicures with one nail a different color -- I like it!
