Labor Day Was How Long Ago?

Is it just me or is time flying by super fast lately!  It seems like it was just yesterday that we were packing up the car to go visit the farm for Labor Day weekend... And now it has been almost two months!  So I guess it is time to catch this blog up before it time to post about the holidays...

Our labor day weekend was pretty relaxing.  We visited with our three of our nephews, ate lots of good food, and I took a nap or two while Dan played "farmer for a day." 

And of course we messed around with the camera a bit...

We had a great time going to the Thrashers Reunion with Ray's family to check out all the old, antique tractors...

And then we headed back onto good ole Hwy 20 towards home.  We stopped in Galena so the dogs could stretch their legs and where saddened to see that there were already signs of fall with leaves on the ground. It seemed as though summer was very short this year with such a cold rainy spring that went through June and I am not really ready for another winter as I still feel the chill of last January. 

But as halloween is now around the corner, we most certainly are going to be in the holiday season very soon so I hope I find a little cheer in November.  And even if it the summer of 2009 was short and often quite cool and filled with challenges, it was a great summer.  We did so many fun things like running our first half marathon, watching a movie in the park, and just enjoying a summer in the city.
