Summer [according to my phone]

this summer is already almost over, and I am not sure where all the time went!
it's been a beautiful time of warm nights and lake days and hiking and camping and grilled food and work good times and a lot of bonding with the road and various sunrises/sunsets.
the brasil brother has been back for almost a year which means that in a month, he heads back with his little family. i can't even say how awesome it's been to know they are accessible to sms or call or see. great times to renew and build on those relationships.
here's a little bit of summer according to my phone. ok, so maybe it's a lot bit. bear with me.

I laughed, for some reason, at the murdered cherub. And that mud run looked awesome!

[yeah, I totally stole this picture from my computer] I'm feeling rather wordy today. (make that inspired) Maybe it's because of the amounts of coffee I consumed, or the random sound track I'm listening to, or the breakfast that I got to eat at 10ish after dealing with a puking patient, or um, yeah, really don't know... BUT. I have an idea. And I'm excited. It will be 26 Days of Thankfulness. You know, like Project 365, except not. Stay tuned. I actually dreamed about the same meal two nights this week. [hobo dinners] I think it's a sign. Saturday Meal here we come! YUM. I am thinking about this question: "How should one spend their life and...what experiences (personal and observed) in your life support your ideas?" Maybe I will blog my answer. Some day. Halloween suddenly struck me as odd. Maybe it was the severed limbs hanging from door frames. Or the um, well, the darkness that is associated with it. Don't get me wrong, I like dressing up, a...

(my new favorite lazy greeting), cheers!, neh? (which is basically thrown at the end of any questioning sentence, or commanding sentence, or whatever sentence), this one! (when scolding, tattling, whining, teasing) and the list could go on. It's a fun game to remember and use my new vocabulary.  I am not so much loving walls and gates and locks and alarms and being stuck inside as soon as the sun sets. I am not so much loving speed bumps and in...
