Weather Update:
So the weather took a massive change this week. What was is in the mid-90's dropped to the mid 70's seemingly overnight. What a great break from the heat! Half of the locals say this is normal August weather while the other half say this is 'cool' for this time of year. We're choosing to believe the 'normal' side of the debate. Right now we're sitting in the front room watching the rain and lightening out the big picture window-- lot's of rain in Michigan!
Food, Food, and More Food:
Tim Horton's-- I think I've mentioned this place before, but it's earned a second mention (at least). Friday morning began with a box of TimBit's for each of the family; 10 balls of delicious, doughy, sugary goodness. Weight Watchers here I come!
Hunting Season Opens:
Hunting is pretty big here in Michigan, so in order to engage the local culture we decided to participate. Part of the hunting culture is to wisely choose the prey, so we decided to choose the National Bird; partly out of self preservation, and partly in retribution for the pain they've inflicted on us. So far we learned that the best hunting equipment is simply an open palm swiftly smashed against a hard, flat surface. And the best hunting time is early evening. Danielle's even gotten into the action wielding a pillow and screaming, "Get away from me-- I have a legal weapon!" (We are pretty sure she means a lethal weapon, but it's hard to tell with her!!!)
Post Office Update:
A few posts ago we ranted on the USPS, so it's only fair that we also mention that they SEEM to have figured out how to get both letters and boxes into our over-sized mailbox. How nice!
Next Big Adventure:
School begins in less than a month... so that entailed Back-to-School shopping. Clothes, shoes, notebooks, paper, pencils, pens, erasers, lunchboxes, backpack-- holy cow we needed a lot of stuff! But while at the Meridian Mall we did see Danielle's twin!
And for you fans of The Middle, saw this sign the other day...
