September already?

I can't believe it is already September and the weather is getting cool already. Overnight it has been getting into the mid or lower 50s - have to pull up the blanket. It's nice though not having to run the air conditioner. The electric bill for this last month was so much higher than usual with all the heat and humidity we'd been having.

Last Thursday, was our summer outing at work. I'll post a couple photos later, since they are on my home computer. It sure was nice having a 3-day weekend though; of course the weekend was over way too fast. Friday night, Kevin went to the first home football game for our local high school. On Saturday, we went out to breakfastrother and his wife and picked up the extra lawn mower he had that he wanted to get rid of. Our lawn mower has been in the shop more the past month & half than it was at home. They can't get it fixed right and their delivery system to get it where it needs to go to be fixed and then back to where we dropped it off, is just ridiculous. It takes weeks for it to get to 2 different l9ocations, which are not even 50 miles apart. You could walk it between locations quicker. I definitely DO NOT recommend the service warranties at Sears. We had a place in town that we could have taken it to, but since we paid extra for the service warranty, we decided we might as well take it back to where we got it. Not a smart idea. They diod tell us that if we have to bring it back for the same thing, we get it replaced.

So when Kevin got the old mower home, he cut the grassd, which was badly needed. Late that afternoon, we ended up going to the Walworth County Fair. It was very nice and Kevin got to see lots of his favorite animals, COWS! On Sunday after church, we ended up going to the neighbors for a Labor Day get together. We stayed pretty much all day. Later on Monday afternoon, we ventured down to my parents. Lots of driving over the weekend; thank goodness gas prices are going down. They're in the mid to upper 2.70s or lower 2.80s by us, which is a lot better than the $3 it had been a couple weeks before.
