We've hit the dog days of summer here, that time of year where you long for cooler fall temps but realize it's still about three months down the road. I'd love to have a second home in a place where it actually feels like fall by the time we turn the calendar page to October. Speaking of second homes, we closed the sale of our weekend river house this week. It perches on a lovely stretch of the Guadalupe River in Hunt with a great set-up for entertaining, but alas we just weren't using it enough to justify the expense. We hope the new owners will enjoy it. Meanwhile, we'll bank that money for the retirement home I dream of building in a beautiful lakeshore setting one day.
Our future lawyer is getting adjusted at her new apartment in Dallas, hanging artwork on the walls and doing those final runs for supplies in advance of law school orientation next week. We look forward to visiting her when we're in town for the state fair, and would love to squeeze in a separate weekend of tailgating for an SMU home game if the husband's schedule allows.
The CPA daughter is traveling over the next ten days to Colorado and Florida, so we're dogsitting her Chorkie. He's not a big fan of puppy Finn, but I have high hopes that they'll settle down and be buddies by the time he returns home to her in Austin. I'm pleased to report that wedding plans are moving along, with the caterer and photographer secured this week. Next in the lineup is a florist, and there are so many amazing choices. Our daughter's wedding planner has made some wonderful suggestions for consideration, and so it has been a big help in narrowing down the field to make selections for the folks who will help her vision for their wedding come to life in the most beautiful way. Cheers to lots more happy choices in this process from our bride and her maid of honor!
