Well…actually the “summer season” will last a while longer, but “summer” according to the school calendar is almost over.  Even though we didn’t actually take a week long vacation this year, we did take a couple of two-day trips.  One trip was to Hillsboro, Texas, to shop at the Hillsboro Outlet Mall.  I found a lot of clothes there for Baby J for his birthday, and I had so much fun shopping for him!  Another trip was to Waco, Texas, to visit the Dr. Pepper Museum which was very interesting.  We also got to walk on a historical bridge and visit the Texas Ranger Hall of Fame & Museum.  It was truly a fun trip!

We’re not big movie goers, but we saw three movies this summer which we thought were really good movies.  We saw the Indiana Jones movie, The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian, and Journey to the Center of the Earth.

I went to a ten week Bible study at my friend’s house this summer on Thursday nights.  There were several friends there (we all attend church together) to study “Believing God,” which deepened our faith even more.  This Bible based study was written by Beth Moore.  It was a great time of fellowship and studying God’s Word!

And last, we had a lot of good family visits with our daughter (“C”), son-in-law, and Baby J.   We got to have a mini family reunion in June when my mother-in-law flew down to visit for a week.  Lots of wonderful memories were made!

These are the highlights of my summer which centered around God, family, & friends!  It’s been a wonderful summer for me in that regard.
