Summer’s End (Post Labor Day Let Down)

9/6/2011

Comments

 
Picture
Goodbye, Summer.  It’s been great.  You fulfilled all your promises.  We took our driving tour through Alaska with the in-laws and saw moose (even babies!), grizzly bears, beluga whales (OMG!), and more. 

We did go to the Baertlein family reunion in Wisconsin, where it was revealed that several of my husband’s cousins share the same reclusive tendencies he has.  Chalk another one up for genetics.

My son and I did join my parents in San Diego to escort my nieces through the likes of Scripps Aquarium, the Fleet Science Museum, and San Diego Zoo while my sister conferred on holistic veterinary medicine.   Lots of swimming, snacking and bracelet building filled the small pockets of time between big outings.

We took that early morning Labor Day hike my husband planned, and OK, yes, it was beautiful even if it did try to wreck my hip.

So, goodbye, Summer.  It’s been great!  See you next year, when hopefully I will have recovered.  (Man, I need a vacation.)

Man, I need a vacation.)

    Author

    I made a career of writing software by day while scribbling stories by night, a combo made even odder by the fact that I started my adult life as a marine biologist/geneticist. 

    I got my Ph.D. ever so long ago, but I still love science, especially the biological variety. Now I write SciFi and Fantasy that's full of it.  Science, I mean.
