It's over.
All over.
My long, beautiful, fun packed summer is over.
Back at the end of the school year, the white board was covered with dates and places; graduation parties and open houses and weddings we were invited to; birthdays and anniversaries, fun trips and events we had planned. NYC and Denver were both on the list and it culminated with Bill and Jen's wedding, when Tyler and Megan, JP and Roy were coming to town, Joe would be back from overseas and the Franks were coming back for an encore...all that to look forward to.
As the months swirled by, the dates came and went and one by one all the things we looked forward to were erased from the board.
Some things were added, like the trip to Duluth that took place right before the trip to NYC. Some things were changed; Megan couldn't come to the wedding because she got a new job that started that week (Yay! new job close to home; Ty's excited about a high school football team to cheer for) and of course, the best news of all; Megan and Ty are having a baby!
The girls birthday trip to New York was much more fun even than expected but went by even quicker than feared. The trip to Denver was delightful; I golfed for the first time in 35 years. Okay, maybe not golfed. More like "golfed".
The Hubbell Open was played as usual. Woody won, as usual. What wasn't usual was that it was played so late in the year that Jay and his crew had to go back to work so there was no Pivec representation at all. Anyway, it's over.
Then the wedding! This is the second year in a row where our summer was consumed with wedding plans. At Bill and Jen's reception, Woody and Tyler came up with the brilliant idea that we should just have a big, fancy, dance party every summer because they're too much fun.
Now it's all over.
To add insult to injury, Josie had to go back to school the Monday after the wedding.
IT'S NOT EVEN LABOR DAY YET.
I really think we should have gotten a week to decompress, relax, catch our breath and regroup before school started but NO, the stupid city changed the rules about starting school before labor day and conscripted the kids back to the classroom IN THE MIDDLE OF AUGUST.
Boo.
No one should have to go to school while the State Fair is underway.
No one.
It just occurred to me that in two years, I won't have to worry about when school starts; Josie will have graduated.
Of course, then she'll go off to college.
Yeah, that's not depressing.
But you know what?
I'M GOING TO BE A GRANDMA!!!!!!!!!!
