Summer is definately coming to an end.....Mornings are darker and cooler, evenings cool off quicker too! I am a lover of winter, I know...just keep reading so you can understand my reasoning...lol  I HATE being so hot you can't cool down...So in winter, you can always warm up!  Winter is so calming and quiet - nothing like bundling up by the fire with a warm drink, good book, and a loved one....it is always sooo romantic!  OK, not that WE ever do that but a girl can wish can't she?!?!?!

So having said summer is coming to an end, we had our last long weekend at the lake, and it was FAB!!!!!! The weather was awesome the lake calm, cool nights so you can sleep.....it was BLISS!!!!!! The only thing missing was our boys and my bestie who hasn't been able to spend a large amount of time at the lake this summer....more on that later...We will be going out again in a couple weeks, as you know Robbie will be 50 this year so we are going to the lake for his birthday ( I have invited a few friends to come out that weekend too, so it should be a "gooder"). Then we will have to close up the trailer for another year and start the count down to "lake" time again.

Last night, Brandon took the family out for dinner! In anticipation of him going back to work, he wanted to take the fam out for a pre-birthday dinner in honor of our birthdays! We went to the newly redecorated Old Duke in our small town...It used to be called the "Willy" and was a very run down scary place to go...Obviously it has been sold and the new owners have done a SPECTACULAR job of renovating and reviving! It was awesome. The best thing, is that it is a restaurant until 9 pm so our younest could come too....Any who...dinner was great, we will be taking our friends there and spreading the word......We all enjoyed our dinner and of course time came to pay, Brandon pulled out his wallet and payed with PRIDE! It was soo great to see him be so proud of himself while payng for dinner for the family! It was a proud moment - no tears for me though! lol

We have some busy times coming up, Hubbie is goin to Montreal - annual buying trip and we have of course the Birthdays....so stay tuned there should be some fun things to write about....
