August has arrived,  which means our Door County vacation is over.   It was a wonderful time as usual, and way too short.   There were a number of friends I did not get to sit down and talk with, or golf with.   Of course I worked part of each week which did not help!  But I did get some golf in and golfed with Mj and John more than once.     The time went by quickly,  I wanted to golf more, get to some of favorite restaurants that we did not.   But it must be because it is so enjoyable just being there.

There was spaghetti night on the 25th with our usual large crowd.   And fish fry on the 29th thanks to Eric’s fishing.  And time just sitting in a lawn chair!     So we hope you all are getting to enjoy some of the summer.   It was Green Bay’s coldest July on record,  but looks like August may start warming up.  The last month of summer.    We have Irish Fest this month, and Father Bob’s Bar B Q another weekend in Wauwatosa.   And a homebrew club meeting here at our house.  So the month will pass quickly also.   We will try to get enough ‘boat time’ worked in also.

In the mean time there is yard work to do and still clean up around the boat house.  And some more gravel to landscape, and weeding the garden!  Tomato’s, beans and peas are just starting to come.   And peppers!   It doesn’t look like there will be many carrots this year,  I may have to change garden plans next year.  But Chris’s raspberries were a bumper crop, and the second set of stalks seem to be filling in well, so I expect a good second harvest also.

Enjoy!
