More Summer Wrap-Up

Ahhhh - I did not mean to go so long without posting on the blog, but time got away from me again!

I have all these posts floating around in my brain,

 but haven't taken the time to put pen to paper --

really I mean, fingers to keyboard to blog (!!) and post something!

It's time for me to put on my granny panties and buckle down!

 Hotter in Lincoln than at my sister's in Florida in July!

That is just not right!  

Maddie had a couple of adorable swimsuits this summer with . . . 

bigger bottoms -- you guessed it . . .  kind of granny panties!  

She looked adorable and asked if I wanted her to order me a "granny panty swimsuit! 

Ummm, no thanks on that. 

The granny panties I need are the spanx ones 

and I'm not showing you those!

So, a little more on summer!

Weather-wise - it was an odd summer with some very hot days and tons of rain!

Good for the lawn and water bill, but

not so good for pool time, but we hit the pool 

when we could and especially on the last day!

And now it's really hot and humid again and

the pool is closed!

So, saying goodbye to summer and the pool!

Fall temps we are ready and waiting for you!

Summer Wrap-Up

Since summer activities are winding down 

with the opening of school books, 

here's some of what Maddie did during the summer.

She completed all of her senior service hours!

Pius X (Maddie's school) requires seniors to perform 36 hours of

volunteer service work at school and/or in the community.

While 36 hours may not sound like a lot, when you're 

only getting a couple hours here and there, it takes a while to get to 36!

Maddie did all of her hours working in the Pius uniform shop!

It takes a lot of unpacking and organization to sort and have polos, shorts,

shirts, pants and sweatshirts ready to sell and package up for over 1,200 students!

After working mornings Mondays through Thursdays at the

uniform store, she spent Friday mornings playing and reading

with the Littles!  They had so much fun together and

it was great for her to spend time with them

and to give Philip and Catherine an extra pair 

of hands!

She also got some fabulous photos of the kids!

They are growing up fast!

Jane - 9 years old (4th grade)

Walt - 8 years old (3rd grade)

Harry - 6 years old (kindergarten)

Dorothy - 3 years old (preschool)

and

Gloria - 5 months old 

Aren't they just adorable! 

 Maddie had so 

much fun with them during the summer!
