It’s a beautiful day in Eastern Pennsylvania.  In fact, it’s been a quite nice August, as far as I am concerned – not too hot during the day and temperatures in the 60s at night time.  Just my kind of weather.  It is hard to believe though that Summer is rapidly drawing to a close . . . less than two weeks until it’s unofficial end.  And my lovely daughter Desiree begins school next Tuesday, which will mean regular (if not weekly) trips to Lewisburg for visits.

As all five of you devoted readers of this blog know, I had hoped to move closer to my girl this summer, but for now I remain at Pottstown – about two and a half hours away from Desiree.  Over the summer I have saved a lot of gas by not making weekly trips to Lewisburg and by the fact that Desiree was here for more extended periods of time (3+ weeks and longer weekends).  It has been nice not having to do so much driving and not spending so much money to fill the Scion’s gas tank.

But all good things must come to an end.  As to how often and when I will make the trips to Lewisburg this fall remains to be seen.  I will have to factor in Desiree’s participation in soccer practice and games into the equation, as well as the availability of overnight accommodations at friends’ homes in the area.  I’ll know more in the next couple of weeks.  Until then everything is up in the air, which is a state I have become accustomed to being in (he says . . . mangling the English language).

Things could be worse, so I won’t complain much.  Today it’s enough for me to enjoy the beautiful day I’ve been given and to look forward to some more work in and on the house later this afternoon.  Being productive makes me feel pretty good, and so by tonight I should be nigh on estactic : ).
