Labor Day Weeking coming up ALREADY???
This has been a whirlwind summer. I guess that comes from living in the Midwest, where we have about 12 really good weekends to do stuff. And when you have more than 12 friends and family, it’s amazing how quickly those weekends fill up.
Labor Day weekend I am going camping ‘up north’. (Which, to most Michiganders, is any place north of Saginaw.) It’s a musical weekend, reminiscent of music camp when I was a kid. It’s called the “Harmony Classic Weekend” and this year is the 50th anniversary. This was a weekend started by four male barbershop singers fifty years ago and eventually included the Sweet Adelines. Now it’s pretty much exclusively Sweet Adelines.
I am really looking forward to this. It will be a weekend filled with singing: practicing, performing, workshops, concerts, etc. There is also a huge arts and crafts show that I am looking forward to visiting.
I am just sorry it’s already coming up on Labor Day weekend. I need about 6 more summer weekends before I’m ready for fall! Hopefully the weather will hold up for that long. We’ve had such a hot summer (more 90s and 100s than I EVER remember) – except for the previous two weeks where the highs were in the 70s and the lows were in the upper 50s and I turned OFF the A/C and opened up the house. We’re back to A/C and closed windows again because the highs for the past few days were near 90. Maybe I AM looking forward to the fall weather
Could be the reason why I just bought two new fleece jackets at Sams Club! The light one is actually light lavendar. The darker one is a dark teal. Both will work for fall until it starts getting down into the 30s.

You just bought two fleece jackets. I bought two new pair of flipflops…which I’ll be wearng thru Thanksgiving. I’m so sickly envious of you and your pending fall weather. We’re at a point in the summer where I’m thinking it will never be cold again.
@ExLibris - You need to come back to the midwest to visit during the height of the fall color season! Bring socks
And fleece.
Your trip sounds like fun! Also sounds like you might not be far from Backwater. I’m actually in Hometown today – doing some research for new homes for Gran. 8 nursing home tours the next two days, and then over to the west side of the state for a family wedding (and unfortunately, seeing some of the family!). I’m guessing you will have a lot more fun this weekend than I will
@Tyche - Yeah, pretty close to Backwater
I wish I had known you were going to be around!
You’ll have a great time up there – especially in a hotel!
Our plans were in flux until almost the last minute. The wedding is in South Haven, so originally we were going to fly into Chicago and drive over. We only just decided to tack some time on to take care of Gran’s stuff a little while ago, which is why the whirlwind down here. Based on how this visit is going, though, I think we’ll be back sometime over the next few months.
