Well, it’s official. Autumn is here!

Summer certainly flew by and while I occasionally wish we had just one more month to squeeze in all of the things I had hoped to do, I realized that I had a very eventful three months.

1. I worked full time @ Powell’s Supermarket in Carbonear. In the beginning I was in the Deli dept… gotta say those girls( Debbie Juanita, Marilyn, Judy and Paula work hard ,then I went to the Meat room …had a blast with the guys ( Jerry, Michael from Greeley's Reel, Chris) then somewhere along the way I ended up on Cash ( Kelly , Jeff, Christine, Michelle, Alexis, Mary , Rhonda and I’m sure I’m missing someone. Overall it was a great experience a great bunch to work for.

2.   Caught up with an old friend I haven’t seen in years. It has been a while since the two of us have had a coffee session together. What can I say …Life gets in the ways sometimes. When we did finally meet it was as if we had seen each other last week. It’s great that strong friendships can survive such gaps.   She’s the first friend I remember having as a kid … yup it’s been that long and we  look so young..lol!

4    Had some pretty awesome BBQ’s (Thanks Hubby!)

How was your summer? I hope it was full of excitement!

Even though we still have some days that still felt like summer, I’ve happily welcomed the season with the changing leaves. The afternoons are warm and the evenings are cool, things begin to turn different shades of red and gold all around you and the light is just perfect. Like summer, I have a large list of things I want to do in the next month or so.

My list includes:

• take lots of fall photos

• start carrying tissues

• start drinking tea to stay warm ( Earl grey is my favorite but I’d like to try Lipton’s Island Mango & peach)

• get and massage & take a nap

• Going on a hayride.

• Celebrate Halloween.

Keep your eyes on the horizon, everything is about to change. It’s going to be a great season! I can tell. What are some things you’re hoping to do this autumn?

Where did Summer go?

Where has the time gone? No wait; where has my summer gone? Funny isn't it, how it seems to take forever to get here and then, poof, it's almost over! I cannot believe that it is already July and that I’ll be back at CNA starting a new semester soon. Ah, July in Carbonear. A time for long sleeves and umbrellas, of days spend indoors, or nights huddled around a campfire. Summer, it seems, has gone missing, and the prime suspects are spring and fall. The warmest season has made appearances in places, like Ontario and Nova Scotia. But it's boycotting Newfoundland.""I think the worst is the days are just counting down and we're just not seeing any summer weather." realize my whole summer was spent waiting instead of doing. I don’t do well when it’s hot. I wanted cooler days so I can do the things I enjoy. The older I get, the faster time goes. Sometimes it whizzes by as I wait for energy to get going. I should have cleaned house and done other inside work while it was hot outside. Forget the wiser part. Getting older comes way too soon and youth is gone before you know it! Another reason the time has flown by is because I got a part-time job at the local Supermarket (Powell’s) to help subsidy this poor student.  About school I got my marks for semester 3 had made the Honor Society (3.6 GPA). Wahoo!!! I hope to maintain that!!! So Pat & Shola go easy on me… (Hey Shola you made the blog…lol). I am sad to see summer end but also excited about going back to school some might think it’s boring or hard, but it’s actually can be lots of fun."  So it seems that fall is fast approaching so I urge you all to take advantage of the remaining summer and do something ...anything. Enjoy! Also a reminder  that the Carbonear Car  Show & Shine will be going on this weekend  August 5 ,6 & 7th, 2011 @ Paddy's Garden... Come out & support the Special Oyympics...
