Heading into September!

It's hard to believe, but September is upon us. By the time that Joyce gets back from Europe, we will be staring at October! Baseball season will be over(for us), I will be up on the roof every weekend to clear off the leaves, and the long, warm, sunny days will be history. But a 2 week motorhome trip would fit into the first half of October nicely. But that depends on the weather.
A week from today Joyce and Kristin head off on their big adventure to Europe. They should have nice weather in France and Italy. England's weather doesn't look so hot, but I think England is more of an indoor place anyway. It's going to be pretty quiet around here with just me and the cat. I just hope that I can get all of the things on my list done in 3 weeks.
We have a week in Hawaii the end of October to look forward to, then it will be long pants and flannel shirts until February. And, the first of October will be time to plan chapter 2 of "Spring Training in Arizona". By the time February rolls around, we will probably have not seen the sun more than a couple of times since we left Hawaii, the tan lines will have faded, and I will be experiencing serious shorts, sandals, and Hawaiian shirt withdrawels! We will have company in Arizona for a week or so in March. Ron & Diane (cruise buddies) from Tulsa Oklahoma will be hanging out for some Spring Training baseball. We're all looking forward to that.
Daughter Kristin is planning to move to Austin Texas with 2 friends for the winter. We're not quite sure how that will work, as none of them have jobs to go to, and I know that the cost of living is lower there, but............ If that does happen, we will incorporate a side trip to Austin into our Arizona getaway. Then into the far off future of next Summer/Fall, we are in the thinking phase of another major motorhome trip for the summer, and Germany for Octoberfest. It seems like there is always something on the horizon. Life is good!

One year ago today

Today is the first anniversary of "Joyce and Ernie's Big Adventure." One year ago today, we were spending our first night in Hermiston Oregon, where it was 107 degrees!! The wheels are begining to turn for the sequel. We're thinking about trying to go again in 2010. I haven't had a decent crawdad since we left Louisiana! But until then, we will be satisfied with a week in Hawaii in October, then a month or 2 in Arizona for Spring Training. Plus Joyce has the 3 weeks in Europe next month.
While she's gone, I've got 3 cars to detail, and a motorhome roof to clean and re-seal. With a little bit of luck we may be able to sneak in a 2 week motorhome trip to Montana the first part of October.
Otherwise there's not to much happening here, but I couldn't let the anniversary slip by without a little blurb. Joyce is anticipating summer's return next week!
Until then, Ernie
