I'm looking forward to this weekend.
We seem to get one weekend every September or October in Marquette when a strong southwest wind blows and the temperatures shoot up. This year, it's supposed to be this weekend, with highs on Sunday forecast to be in the mid 80s. While we've had a lot of warm temperatures this summer, you can never have too many of them.
Besides, it'll allow me a chance to say “goodbye” to the warmth for another year.
Don't laugh, and while you're at it, don't worry. I'm not any more strange than I normally am. Here's what I'm talking about—last year near the end of August it was 85...a glorious day filled with sun & fun. A Facebook friend had written something up about that day probably being the last nice one of the year, an idea at which I kinda scoffed.
However, she was right. It WAS the last day for the year when it hit 85. I scoffed at the notion, and I was wrong.
That's why this year, if it does get above 80 at all on Sunday, I'm going to say “goodbye” to summer as a proper person would.
Assuming, of course, a proper person actually WOULD say “goodbye” to summer.
So that's what I'm hoping to do this weekend, along with all the usual stuff. And, of course, along with wishing the two people without whom I wouldn't be here a happy anniversary! That's right; my parents are celebrating another one, and while we're not marking the date with a big shindig this year (because, after all, it IS the 21st month of 2020) we still have to acknowledge it some way, right? So happy anniversary, Mom & Dad. Thanks for setting a great example for everyone. And don't forget—we're going to lunch in a few hours!
Love,
