My Summer > Your Summer

It’s Labor Day, the unofficial end to summer. I’d be sad if it didn’t mean a day off from work - especially when I remember all of the great moments. My summer was better than yours! 😂

It was the very best six weeks! It was jam packed with live music, soccer, great friends, and family. I’m not sure next summer can top this, but I’m going to give it a good try.

While it’s hell to get in and out of after a concert, the rock quarry venue south of town is the very best outdoor theatre. We didn’t want to miss any of the opening acts, so we were there early, sitting on metal bleachers in the sun drinking beer and eating pretzels. The life!

We were two of about ten people who could sing all the words to Randy Rogers’s songs. The young people were jealous; they didn’t have to say a thing because we saw their side eye glances as we danced in our seats.

I ran into one of my students at one of the NSC games! Now I’m teaching at the high school and my students won’t be nearly as excited to see me in public.

My friend - my oldest friend as we have known each other since preschool - Shelley drove through Nashville and we spent a day in the city and a night in the quirkiest Air B&B. I wish I took pics of it.

The day before I had to return to work Vikki and I took Caro to another concert. We were the oldest females in the audience singing all of the songs.

I had multiple coffee and lunch dates with friends from work.

Before the boys returned to school, we spent a weekend in The Gulch for dinner and then an escape game. We escaped with three seconds to spare!

Jenny met me in Nashville for the Teddy Swims concert. We shopped at local boutiques, ate great food, and solved everybody else’s problems. We also learned The Drury is THE place to stay in the city. It’s so good that we have already booked two nights for next June’s CMA Fest.

When my car died - literally died- on the busiest four lane road in town, I bought a new one!

And, the very best for last, I hit my goal of completing my 1200th workout at OTF. Most days this summer I completed two workouts a day - even joined another gym just to mix it up.

What a summer break! I can’t wait to see the fun fall brings my way.
