My favorite days consist of sailing and picnicking with the kids at Marsh Creek State Park. Yes, they swim more than they sail. And, yes, the huge sign on the boat says that we shouldn't do this. 😏 Other end-of-summer joys: Ritas Italian Ice, popping by the shore house to see Nana and Grandpa for a few days, Dungeons and Dragons in the living room, celebrating the pet's birthdays, the last day of "brain time" with Dad, sourdough bread baking, and Stratego.
By the way, can you believe that Simon is 14 years old? Neither can all the people who see him energetically walking along the trail with us. When I say he is approximately 14, some people have believed that he is 14 months old. Ha! He hides his gray hairs well.
Unfortunately, he seems to be feeling his age and isn't eating as much recently. At a recent vet appointment, they recorded a 26% decrease in Simon's weight in the last year (from 65 lbs to 48 lbs) and the doc noted that it is a "race to the bottom" for both Simon and Shanti as they both advance in age. We are so blessed to have such great pets who have been healthy for so long.
