We are back from our brief holiday before school started. We went up to Winchester State Park for 5 days; the rest of our family who live in the area came for the weekend. It was nice to have a family event, even if the bees were terrible. The DD showed us how to build some easy bee traps and we caught hundreds of the things. We stayed inside most of the time anyway as there was a campfire ban - we had to cook inside as that, too, attracted bees. After the others left to go home for work and school we stayed 2 more days AND it actually rained.
Came home to find all OK, but apparently some of the neighbor children felt it was OK to harvest my pears for me. msH had invited some of them to have some pears earlier so I guess they figured the tree was fair game. I only got about a dozen picked from the tree and an equal amount from the ground-ones not too damaged by falling. Luckily there are quite a few on the late pear tree, so we will get more.
I plan to return to working on the back pack this week - lucky for me msH does not start school until after Labor Day. Kindergarten gets a later start than the rest of the students as the #2GS is already back and the mister starts working back at the school here today.
We gave ourselves a treat and have arranged to purchase a motor home. Then if we get a boat we can tow it behind or the car if we go on long trips. Should be fun.
