    I have a family reunion coming right up that I will be attending.  Plus, my 24th wedding anniversary is coming right up as well this month so we will be doing something, I’m just not quite sure yet what.  We always wait till the last minute to decide what to do.  I don’t like making plans too much because I find when I do, they usually fall through and I don’t like to be let down so we usually take it day by day.  The fairs are coming though so I’m sure we’ll be hitting those as well. 

  • Candice K

    I love this color so much, My last few weeks of summer are going to be spent with my family. My oldest daughter is sick so we will be going soon to get a 2nd opinion. Then we are going camping and doing some fall shopping (back to school). We live in Michigan so we always find something to do, we really dont vacation during the summer we tend to vacation in the fall and the winter. Good luck to everyone who enters.

    The last few weeks of summer will be spent working, packing up my house in Las Vegas and house hunting in Austin.  I know I’ll find the perfect home on my next trip Labor Day Weekend.  The perfect way to end the summer by buying a new home in a great town.

     - I’m so excited for the last few weeks of summer actually! I have to wrangle some air tickets to Chicago because I’ll be going to graduate school. I’m quite anxious about the whole trip because I have to figure out what I need to buy and bring to my apartment. And did I mention…it’s the first time I’ll have my own apartment! There’s just so much to figure out.

  • Balletennis55

    I’m going to be spending tons of time with my family while also trying to figure out graduate school stuff. 

  • Kruam55

    My mom and I have created a spectacular garden outside. We started a grape vine and it looks amazing. The fruit hasn’t grown on it yet but the vine has grown really long. Our garden is surrounded by red and yellow roses. We’ve been trying out so many different recipes with the vegetables that we have and I’m hoping to continue that!

    I want to say I love the bag.

    For the last few weekends of summer we are going to make a run to the beach as long as the weather cooperates. Then the next weekend will be the Zoo. Then my niece starts preschool. She is so happy because she gets to move to the upstairs rooms with the bigger kids. she just missed the cut off last year.

    I’ll actually be spending it helping out my younger brother to pimp out his new apartment. He’s starting his sophomore year at college and I can’t believe he’s so big now! I haven’t gotten to see him much during the past year since he’s away from home for the first time, so I love for us to spend time together!
