Busy Summer Time!

Wow - summer has hit full stride with us and all its busy-ness. Friday we went out to dinner with the two of us (not a common occurance given our schedules) and ate my favorite at the moment - Greek - they have this amazing spinach and feta thing in philo dough - if you're not big into spinach you'd hate it but I really love the stuff. Then Cody's cousin, Nicki was in town visiting with her boyfriend and kids so we went over to Illinois to the horse track and hung out with them. We bet a few different times and ended up winning a bit 30 cents - though I'm sure we spent more then that on beer so the "house" still came out ahead. It was great to see her and hang out since we don't get to see family often.

Saturday we were up bright and early for a float/camping trip. Lots of fun as always. Grab some people together - a few coolers of beer (and a little food) - some tents and off you go. We "floated" (that's what they call canoe/kayak/rafting here) down the Meramec River - not the most pristine river in the world but nice and cool on a very hot day. Then a night of camping and back home on Sunday for chores, errands, Chineese with some friends and laundry. Fun fun.

This week is jammed back as always - Cody had golf today (Monday is his golf and my long workout/goof off day) then tomorrow and Thursday he has class (a computer certification - MBA starts later this month) - Wednesday we have Music in the Gardens (the last one this year) and a friend's going away party (tough to chose which one to go to) and then Friday we've got a concert - an old Florida fave, Less then Jake - they're ska so if you hate ska you will hate them -I think they are quite fun and saw them many times in Florida and am looking forward to seeing them here. Don't get to see enough bands these days - lots of music (mostly local stuff) but not a ton of big name stuff - not that Less then Jake is really big name.

On with summer fun time - no matter how hot it gets I'm totally not complaining because I know that winter is right around the corner.
