Once upon a time, before I had a blog, school let out and several interesting stories began the summer with a bang. What a pity I didn't have a blog then, but I can fill you in now. However, there are too many pictures to choose from, so here's the tire swing for your enjoyment. Isn't it a picture of a blissful summer?Well the family reunion at Ludington was cancelled in June because of the fact that there was flooding and power outages at the park, not to mention the sewers were backed up, so we had to make quick plans to stay elsewhere. We did have a nice time where we did camp, but I do miss that side of my family!
Another misadventure was the "Welcome Summer" party. Of course, it rained! We ate inside on picnic blankets until the sun came out just long enough for some swimming.
And for all the pet sitting nightmares out there, the last thing you want to realize when you are in charge of animal's life is that you don't have the key to the house! The best plan is to hope they have nice neighbors!
Now imagine mowing a lawn that hasn't been mowed for two weeks or more. It's so thick that you can only make two rows before needing to empty the bag. Now picture it in the middle of a thunderstorm. Add the fact that this rain is clotting the grass and causing your mower to clog. Put in some allergies. Now imagine you stop the mower to empty the bag and when trying to start it, the starting chord breaks and you realize you are in for an interesting night!
Well, there's my summer misadventures. I hope your summer is going equally well...or hopefully better :)

Oh, That was just aweful about the mower, the allergies, the rain, and the starter cord. I hope it gets better.
It has gotten much better, don't worry. It's very laughable now. We ended up doing a very fancy "mid-flight" bag emptying of that one mower so it wouldn't have to stop and start, so there were still two going.
