Hey, August

August is halfway over and I, for one, can’t wait until September. I really can’t complain. It’s been a good summer and has gone by so fast. I’m just ready for fall weather. I want to wear long sleeve shirts and eat lots of homemade soup. Plus, between the heat and the wildfire smoke in the air, it’s kind of been a nasty couple of weeks for being outside.  

My kitchen is in complete disarray right now. I had a little gas leak and ended up having to get a new range. Well, that or find parts and someone to fix the old one. So while I was buying appliances, I got a new dishwasher too. LOL – I really should have paid for installation, but my sister was with me and she’s cheap and believes in doing things for yourself. Which is a very good way to be, I’m not knocking that. It’s just that I’m terrible at that type of stuff and don’t have the tools so I would rather pay someone to do it for me. Anyway, between my schedule and hers my new appliances are waiting for me and it will probably be this weekend before I get everything hooked up completely.  

I did have fun last weekend taking my 5 yr old nephew to the Weber county fair. I couldn’t get any of the other kids to go with me. He had a blast in the big bubble.

I managed to talk my 12 yr old niece into entering some of her artwork into the Box Elder county fair so I guess I’ll be going to that one also just to see it hanging there. It will be a good way to end the summer and I am sooooo looking forward to September through December.
