Late summer, where does it go?

I got a catalog that said Late Summer 2010, and I hear people saying that "s" word alot...school? Already? Macy and I were discussing the topic of where does the time go...and that was over a week ago! Where does the time go? Well, some of it goes to fun! Yes, there are also the days of working inside & out. However, this post is meant to serve as a reminder to me of the fun stuff we've done and answer the question, where has the summer gone?

My aunt, Aunt Big Sister, has invited us to swim with her, which is so much fun and has taken up more than a few days! I think she has made a point to see Carter no less than twice a month since he was born! She brought Granny to his band class this spring or came out here to visit or we went to her house. Carter loves her patio and fountain with rocks in it. (I realize some people don't know the origin of her name, and I love how she got it, well probably because I had something to do with it. She's my mom's older sister, so they all called her "Big Sister" growing up. When I came along, I thought that was her name, so I affectionately added "Aunt" thus you get the whole name, "Aunt Big Sister" and it stuck.) So thanks Aunt Big Sister for our fun relaxing days with you, especially when Jimmy is able to join us!

Another fun thing Carter enjoys is to visit Granny where we watch the firetrucks next door and the trucks, cars and bikes go by on Hwy 231. Watching traffic is quite entertaining and surprisingly relaxing, too. I just hope we never witness a crash. He has to check on the lawn mowers and garden out back before we leave.

Carter enjoys his Bobo & ZZ, Ben & "X" (Ben's girlfriend, Alexis, who Carter thinks belongs with him not Ben). We've been here and there with them, and sometimes they go with us swimming or we just hang out or shoot fireworks...well, that's for another time. For some of the best times,and if you haven't yet been to Lanes, Trains and Automobiles, grab some cash and go! It's so much fun!

Carter also enjoys seeing his Papa & Gram Gram. He's been over there where he loves to feed the birds, and we all enjoyed a good supper for Jimmy's birthday along with fireworks on July 4th!

It's been fun going to the Chattanooga Aquarium, Farmer's Market to get Mrs. Molly's strawberry jam, Miller's Grocery to hear the music and eat supper. Then back here, Carter enjoyed swimming with cousin Hayden. We also enjoyed Uncle Dave Macon Days and many nights just coming home to sit on the back porch and listen to the frogs and crickets.

So over all, late summer is welcome, we've been busy enjoying all the fun summer offers!
