60 degrees/sunny/breezy
Pentoga Road
I lay in bed earlier this morning thinking of years gone by,
when the first day of August signaled the unofficial ending of summer break and it seemed as though we'd been freed from the bonds of education just a week or two previous. After a few weeks of vacation, summer break was over and suddenly, there was only a week, possibly two, to finish any domestic chores and get my
room ready in preparation for the beginning of school.
I saw Mom off at the airport in Iron Mountain on Wednesday.
Mom told Sargie goodbye as we left her at the Vision Center. After a bite to
eat to the local Burger King, we arrived at the airport an hour early. Mom’s
bags were checked through and with boarding pass in hand, we waited outside
security until it was time. Mom was the first in line and after receiving the
usual lecture of putting all liquids, creams, and gels, in a plastic quart bag,
was cleared to board her flight.
I talked with her last night and the flights were good. Mom
was staying at my sister’s and will drive on home this morning.
I spent most of Wednesday afternoon and early evening finishing
the final exam for my class and sent it to the university. It was good to check
that off my list.
There was enough daylight that Brutus and I took a two mile
walk. Things went well and we’ll do it again later today. Though the knee
remains somewhat stiff and isn’t 100%, I can feel it growing stronger by the
day.

Sargie was home late last night. We enjoyed tuna fish and
crackers as we watched America’s Got Talent. It should be titled, Some of
America has Talent. A few of the acts are rather questionable.

I think I’ll get another cup of coffee and read the news before
I head outside and feed my giant pumpkin. After all, a man’s work is never
done.
