Adios Summer

Monday, August 25, 2008

This was a great summer. For some reason, St. Louis had one of the most pleasant summers I can ever remember. There were about 2 weeks when it was a typical St. Louis summer, but for the most part, it was delightful. It is still over 70% humidity, but it doesn't feel suffocating like it use to feel. I think I have finally acclimated to St. Louis weather (it only took my entire life)

Great things I did this summer:

1. went to the Art Fair in Paducah and bought some fabu art.

2. went to chicago and had a wonderful city girl weekend.

3. Morton's wedding: great time was had by all

4. Minneapolis for a sustainability conference. Learned a lot.

5. The new M. Night movie came out. Not his best, but the message was important.

6. Joss Stone concert. Nothing like celebrating the 4th of July with the British

7. volunteered at the FoodBank. It's my favorite volunteer activity all year.

8. making s'mores in Tara and Paul's street

9. Finding an organization that will loan me easy to handle recycle bins. Offering recycling services just got a whole lot easier for me. (and my mom and dad since I have to drag them to help too)

10. annual girls trip to the Ozarks.

11. riding bikes all over St. Louis and just being outside.


To cap off the summer, I am going to San Francisco to visit Sarah for the weekend.
P.S. The picture is the view from the brand new Four Seasons in St. Louis. Bern, Billy, and I enjoyed drinks and dinner there one night. It was very cool. Everyone needs to check it out.

What was your favorite memory of the summer?

I am SO glad that the s'mores made your list! What about my neighbor boy peeing on my driveway? Is that included in the s'mores night or should you add one more to your list?

What about the Kohnen Family reunion that definatly should have been on your list. The super duper cool green t-shirt as well as playing apples to apples. I do not get that game at all I should have won when I compared Hitler to communism I mean really....I guess that is what happens when you play with kids that are 6-12!!! Do they not teach communism is school anymore. Have fun in San Fran and tell David (sarah's friend) I said hello and greetings from Alabama. Oh yeah eirlier tonight Billy and i were in the bath tub because of a tornado warning it was awesome!!! NOT
