Beth: Labor Day
Total number of campers and/or vehicles pulling campers/boats seen on the highway this afternoon during my drive home: 55.
(There were probably more, but the other side of the highway wasn't always visible from my lanes.)
So begins the official exodus of summer. When I return to work on Tuesday, the town that has been bustling for the past three months will be, no doubt, remarkably quieter. It should be an interesting contrast, considering I used to only know this down during its busy months.
But first: a long weekend. The calm before the storm that will be the first week of school. A welcome holiday. And so, welcome, September.

Hope you enjoy your Labor Day as much as I'm enjoying mine. Some work friends and I visited Michigan's West Coast (sorry, couldn't resist) to climb some dunes, dodge some chilly waves and play frisbee. And for dinner, Michigan potatoes, sweet corn and green beans, with Michigan peach pie for dessert. Yay, Michigan!
