August Disgust 80+

The heat of this summer continued into this week with less than a handful of days below 80 degrees. It has been in the 70's the last 2 days and the low went under 50 last night. We had our week in Grand Haven with no rain until after midnight Saturday. Lukas was with us the whole week, with the other boys coming for a couple of days. Proctoring at Cooley I read Silas Marner by George Eliot and worked 3 days. The end of August is bringing shorter days a glowing sunshine and the return of school routine mentality. Grampa has been having problems with dizziness and balance but no diagnosis yet of why. Blues on the Grand concluded with me missing only 1 show and one cancelled because of weather. Sonny Moorman put on the best show and I still prefer the Square venue though the sound improve over the first night. We have been fighting the flea infestation and Wiley had a ear infection, so added costs. Kittens, cats fill the back porch as I painted the garage and the dormer. My knee snapped one night while sleeping on vacation and is loose and feeling better than it has since winter. Time waits for no one and we must wait for time to take it's time.
