But, tonight when I got ready to do laundry, I did get a little excited because I could go barefoot. And the grass in my complex is very nice for walking on barefoot. So it was just a little exciting every time I left to take care of my laundry. And I will miss it come winter.

All the green green grass
One of the not so great things about apartment living is doing laundry. For some reason, traipsing through buildings or across complexes hauling a bag of laundry, running back and forth to see if it is done only to find you have 4 minutes left, which is not enough time to go back but still an incredibly boring length of time to wait--really not a great time in my book. One of my great aspirations in life is to have a washer and dryer in my dwelling place. (This is the whole reason I went to grad school. Well, at least one of them).

One last hurrah
Last weekend, I took one more trip, one final hurrah for the summer. And it was lovely because I went home. For a 3-day trip with half of Friday and half of Sunday being spent in an airport, it was quite memorable. For example:
I got my hair cut. I figured I might as well make it a trend to never get a haircut in my city of residence and to cut it on vacation.
I remembered how to get around despite not having been there for over a year. Very proud of this,
My 2 year old nephew remembered my name from July. Nothing quite as sweet as hearing an adorable 2-year old say, "Lise!" because he wants your attention. Nerf Gun shooting practice with him? Super fun.
I got to play games with my other nephew, who was very patient with me while I tried to keep the 2-year old occupied and simultaneously play with him.
A girls outing with my oldest nieces--DQ and a movie. I introduced them to an oldie but a goody, How to Steal a Million.
Seeing all the old work gang for dinner, just like old times. Wonderful. Not nearly long enough to talk to them all.
Being there for my nephew's ordination as a deacon. So proud of him! It is so great to see him making such good choices. And it was so sweet to watch him play with his younger brother.
Hugs. Lots and lots of hugs. Especially one from the Super Hugger, who truly does have a hugging superpower.
Having the 2-year old mooch off of me. Just like his 7-year old brother did at that age.
So many good memories.
