Last Day of Summer Vacation

To celebrate my last day of summer vacation, Miguel made a carne asada and we had some of his family over for the mid-day meal. Miguel was a super host and the meal was wonderful. It was great for us to see our 3-month-old niece, Dana, as we hadn’t spent much time with her. You can see how Miguel's parents were smitten with her in these photos with Miguel's brother.

This will be my last post for my summer blog. I have enjoyed creating the blog and the way it encouraged me to look for simple beauty in each summer day and share that and I loved getting feedback from friends and family who checked in on the blog. I learned technical tricks along with things about documentation as well. I don't know how to remove a blog from the web so I plan to leave this up for a month or two and then try to figure out if it's possible to close it down.

Good-bye readers! I can be found at my email carstensen@megared.net.mx and I also receive comments left on this blog.

Last night there was a big storm that knocked out our electricity for most of today. The cat seems to have caught a bird as the house was filled with feathers and even the Chihuahua had feathers stuck to her nose. Lots of flies in the house and the mosquitoes are biting. Seems like summertime is getting rancid and telling me it's time to go back to work. One more day before I close this blog. We have a carne asada planned with Miguel's folks. Cooking on the grill seems like a proper way to end summer. Maybe ice cream cones...
