[JoshB]

Wow, What a hot day! Tomorrow(Tuesday) is looking to be downright hot as well. Then tons of relief after that! Go figure the longest day of the work week for me and it's going to be close to 90! Grrr.

I'm in the same boat as you, Josh and will be so glad to have this day over! Rest of the week though looks refreshing. And to boot, my garage door opener just broke - what a way to start a day. Oh well - could be worse. Let's keep the hurricane region in our prayers!!

Sue have a safe trip to WVA! Hopefully all these storms lined up in the Atlantic won't have an impact on your trip! Thank goodness they were better prepared in New Orleans this time.

I had a busy weekend, my sister came down from the UP for 5 days. TR had ther 3rd annual kite fest and it was awesome. All those kites over the lake what a sight! Some are huge and cost thousands of $. The sport kites that they fly in formation are fun and the kites at night with twinkling lights were great, too!

We went over to Manitowoc several times to see the Badger come in and to watch all the Harley's come off to head down to Milwaukee. We decided we'll take it over to Ludington in the end of Sept. stay overnight onboard, take it back the next a.m. I'm the only one in my family that hasn't taken it yet. And me being the ship lover!

Sounds like you had fun Susan! Kites are always fun to fly.

Wow, What beautiful weather. Only 70 degrees here in Portage, 49% humidity and 50 degree dew point. I don't think it could be much more beautiful! I wish it was like this year around with a few weeks of snow.

[susancruzs]

Me, too, Josh! My kind of weather, warm days, cool nights!Everyone was out and about today, I was doing yard work saw lots of bikers, walkers, kids on skates, a super day.

I took a break found another park with access to Lake Michigan that I wasn't aware of by the Coast Guard Station. I knew the station was there but didn't realize there is a public access road, too. You could walk along the lake over to the public beach. Two Rivers has lots of paths and parks for a small town.

We took a road trip an hour west to take in a matinee at American Players Theatre outside of Spring Green today, and it was absolutely perfect weather: warm but not hot, sunny with occasional clouds and a nice breeze to keep us comfy. And of course, as always, the play (Eugene O'Niel's "Ah, Wilderness") was superb, as was the acting.

Wonderful September weekend! It'll be hard to get back into the grind tomorrow, but we'll all manage somehow. Have a good week, all.

Sounds like you had an awesome day! I know what you mean by getting back into the grind. I hate Mondays!

I really hope that you are right I don't think that I could take that much snow again. It always seem to snow when my DH is out of town and I am left to blow out our drive way and make sure the water didn't freeze in the horse trough or in the lines. Plus I really don't want to have to get the ax out to try and open the barn door again. This has just been a strange year for out weather.
