Why take life too seriously?! There are things that happen every day that make me smile. Sometimes it's a question or story from my son. Sometimes it's a quirky thing heard over the cubicle wall. Many times it's dysfunctional things we say or do at family gatherings. Life happens. Let's enjoy it!

Warmth of Friendship
It's sort of like Mother Nature flipped a switch on September 1 and made summer come to an end. Even though we know it technically lives on for 3 more weeks, it's tough to ignore temps in the 40s and 50s.
It was chilly last night and today, well, the precipitation definitely couldn't be classified as a warm summer rain!
Hubby left by 8 a.m. to go help some friends set up their deer stands on their land on the western edge of the county. While he labored in the rain showers, I enjoyed some hot coffee and "catching up" time with my BFF in town for the weekend.
Had a nice visit with Christine and went home to warm the house with laundry and baking. About 2 p.m., the other halves of the men on the land (aka Lunch Ladies) left town to take lunch to the hard workers. I should say, lunch and a dry change of clothes!
Spent the afternoon out there. Rain finally stopped by 5 p.m. Came home to drop off a few things and wash the muddy clothes, then rejoined the group just down the road for a campfire.
It's always fun to have a campfire. Tonight it served a dual purpose – center of a ring of friends and a much-needed heat source! Just like turning on the outdoor furnace.
Typical of Wisconsin weather, tomorrow is supposed to bounce back to summer-like weather with sun and temps in the 80s. We'll be sitting in a different ring of friends and still feeling the warmth.
Pretty cool, huh? And not in a "Mother Nature is bipolar" way.
