Really not much to say ...............

Well, it will soon be Labor Day .... "Oh, the days dwindle down to a precious few, September, November, And these few precious days I'll spend with you, These precious days I'll spend with you...." days seem to go by pretty fast any more.

Summer used to be so long, years ago. When in school, it was a whole lifetime of hot weather, carefree fun, playing outside, vacations to Michigan, it seemed like it was half of the year.

One thing that doesn't help, they, meaning television, are already talking about football, pro, college, even high school. Walmart doesn't help, they already have their 4th of July stuff out, and soon, big displays of "Back to School" items, then, in August, Thanksgiving and Christmas stuff out, and another year has gone by, and I will be doing something for Memorial Day here. Everyone is in a hurry to make money.

They had snow yesterday, I think in Vermont, this morning it is cloudy and seventy outside, rather a dreary day to start the Summer Season.

Big news, one high school in Kentucky ended their graduation, with a Prayer. Today that is news. They do a prayer before the Go Daddy 500, all heads were bowed, I wonder what "they" think of that. I wonder what atheists say when they hit their thumb with a hammer? A high school graduation prayer makes national headline news, whooda thought.

Elena Della Donn had 22 points in her pro opener against Phoenix. I got to watch most of it even though we were at a picnic at our granddaughter Mandy's house. I refused to sit outside. We did miss the opening introductions and a lot of the first quarter, a game no one was interested in went in to overtime. The world of WNBA wanted to see the opening of the Della Donn, Griner opener, but NO, we didn't get to see any of that.

As you can see I am digging for material for this, so will have a cup of coffee, my first, and see what I can come up with ...............................
