Happy Friday!! It has been a long week, but a good week. The summer is slowly coming to an end and what a HOT one it has been. Today, as of right now, it is quite pleasant 80 degrees and overcast and calling for some thunderstorms. Several campmeetings and youth camps have been going on over the past several weeks and I was glad I could attend some of them and hated that I missed some. Last week-end, August 5-6, me and my parents took a week-end trip to Blowing Rock & Grandfather Mountain near Boone, NC and came home on the Blue Ridge Parkway. It was really nice to get away from society and regain my sanity. I enjoyed the coolness and mountain breeze and wanted to bring some back with it, but it wouldn't come. :(
I just got some brownies out of the oven. We are having some tree work done and the 3 men have worked so hard all week. They each have full-time jobs then come here in the evenings and work til dark. I am sad to see the big oak tree cut down in the back yard because it was the biggest part of our shade tree.
