We couldn't have said it better...
THIS IS US !!!
My sister, Lorraine, & I are on the what we call...
"The Treadmill of Life"
& it must be on real fast because...
This summer is "OVER" :(
Where did it go ???
It seems that it was just "Memorial Day" !!! (By the way...this was the last time we posted anything here.)
& now it's "Labor Day" !!!
The entire summer was a roller coaster.
So many commitments & so much change.
Some good...Some not so good...
First...the bad news Lorraine's husband, Joe, was laid off from his job after 30 years. :(
Add to that...we had lots of Proms & Prom Parties (don't ask...it's a NY thing...we think ?),
Graduation Parties (high school & college),
Bridal Showers,
Lots of Birthdays & one very important 21st Birthday,
& our Family Vacation.
We then come home to an Earthquake that neither I nor my sister felt. We were talking to each other on the phone...multi-tasking (our lives are always on the move), when all of a sudden her kids (age 24, 21, & 18) were screaming & she said;
"I gotta go...the kids are screaming & making so much noise that I can't hear."
I said "Are they ever going to grow up & shut up!".
Turns out they were screaming because the Earth was moving under their feet.
Here's a pic of "Earthquake Damage" floating around on Facebook:
LOL !!!
Then we had the unwelcome visitor "IRENE" !!!
We survived with only minimal damage. Flooded basements & stinky houses from all the water, but when we watch the news from "The Catskills" in upstate NY & parts of NJ, we are thankful that ours was minimal.
So, here it is September 2nd & "Labor Day" is here...
On Sunday, we'll have one last summer "Family BBQ".
&
We're hoping that we can slow down on this "Treadmill of Life", but dare we say it...
"There are only are only 113 DAYS UNTIL CHRISTMAS !!!"

So here we go...& we are sure that...

Enjoying the end of Summer,
Kathleen & Lorraine
