I cannot believe we are in the last month of summer.  And yes, I’m aware that summer “officially” ends in September (typically around my birthday as a matter of fact), but with kids already heading back to college, I see summer flashing before my eyes.  It makes me very, very sad, as I know that Patrick, Mary and their friends and are in the process of moving back to school. And some very special young adults are heading to college for the first time.  Sniff, sniff!  It’s been a great summer and I still have 2 fun trips planned (FL and SoCal) but I know when those are in the bag, at least in my eyes (and in my house) summer is almost over.

Thank you Town and Country Magazine for putting the spring…I mean, summer in my step with introducing these summer quotes.

Tonight is the Opening Ceremonies of the Olympics.  What’s the most ridiculous thing about the 2016 Summer Olympics, is they should be in Chicago!  Not Rio!  #EpicFail!

My all-time favorite olympic moment.  I’ve posted this before and I will post it again.  #DressedToAT.  #TeamTerry

Here is a video of Derek Redmond, running the 400M in the 1992 Olympics in Barcelona.  I remember watching this “live” when it happened and knowing that I would remember this for the rest of my life.  Or 14 years later.

 

Happy Birthday Nancy!  Happy Birthday Matthew!  Happy Graduation party Christopher!
