Another week flew by.  There are times I worry about life being to short.   I worry about it being too short after I retire.   We had our usual busy week,  but enjoyable.    Mom is doing well.  The therapy seems to have helped her get stronger and walk better.   I encourage her to keep using the walker when she gets home,  but of course she only listens to some of what I say.   there is a meeting at the home this week,  not sure if I can make it but Skip will be there.  He and I are thinking she may be ready to come home this weekend and then take some therapy at home.   That would work out well as we would stay with her this weekend and go to Irish fest, as is our custom.  She is in a good frame of mind and trying hard.   But seems ready to go home, although I think she will miss the activity.  She could have more of it at her apartment complex,  but there she has a choice.

So the weather here has cooled down some.  And the days are getting shorter.   A sign that I do not want to see.  Summers are beautiful here,  but way too short.  We did some work to catch up on yard work this week,  still catching up from our time away in Door County.  And this coming Wednesday I have my Society of Oshkosh Brewers (SOB)  picnic at our house.   So we are working on preparing.  Of course it is the only day this week they are predicting rain.   But things always work out.

We had a nice night Friday with Skip and Claire.   Claire had bought tickets for the Brewers / Pirates game.   Traffic was hell getting from Appleton to Milwaukee.  But the stadium is always a fun place to be.  The game was a good one, and the Brewers won.   And we spent some time back and Skip and Claire’s enjoying the evening.  A nice way to end the week.

So back to Sunday.  After fixing the fitting on the kitchen faucet that broke last night and flooded the kitchen and basement, did some more yard work.  And after making some steaks on the grill the lake had calmed down and we took a long boat ride into Oshkosh.  Stopped at the BrewPub an picked up a growler, and took an easy ride home.   So now have to prepare for Monday morning,  my favorite day of the week (not).   Sounds like a good week ahead.  MJ is in Florida and the weather there sounds good also.  So get out and enjoy it.  Life is good.
