It's been awhile. As planned, August was my 21 Days of Family & 21 Days of Vacation challenge. I intended to get in a bit of relaxation while I was at it, but life had other plans. I had a wonderful semi-working vacation and am invigorated and excited to be back home in Wichita. There are plenty of exciting opportunities and events on the horizon, including a busy fall booksale season and the Big Read.
I have tried to plan my challenges according to the seasons, and I'm hoping September is the perfect month for 21 Days of Golf & Tennis. I try to plan my summer vacation around the hottest time of the year, but sure enough, we have had several 100 degree days since my return. It looks like this will be the hottest summer on record for the city of Wichita.
Below is a Photobucket slideshow I put together of 21 photographs with some of the highlights from August. It really was an amazing month. I was able to spend plenty of quality time with my niece and nephew, who I picked up in Florida and took to Rhode Island so they could have an extra week to spend while Mom and Dad took care of work back home. I didn't get as much time with my brothers and sisters as I would have liked, so I will have to make plans to visit them in Virginia and Florida in the near future. I did, however, get to spend plenty of time with my parents (they might even say a little too much time) and my girlfriend, after we planned a spontaneous week long visit to explore the great state of Rhode Island.
I did also manage to get quite a bit of work and old fashioned New England bookscouting in during my visit, and I will be sharing some of my more interesting finds, like this one, via Facebook and on the website. Of course, just a few minutes ago I found my copy of the book I was scrambling to find at the last minute before I left. I purchased my copy at Watermark's annual sidewalk sale. I'll have to study up before next summer.
Enjoy! Feel free to share your comments on any of the photos you see here.
