So Long Summer

WOW!!! Where has summer gone? It seems like it was just a few days ago that I sat down and did my "beginning of summer" blog.

Just think, State Days are only about a week away! Being on state council has afforded me so many opportunities this year. I was asked to be camp counselor for Westmoreland County Day camp. Fortunately, it was in the middle of other commitments, so I was able to do it! After committing, I discovered that on the last day of camp, everyone gets the chance to canoe down the river! Of course I was super pumped for that day, because canoeing is something I like to do, but don't get much of a chance. However, if you asked me how I felt about canoeing when I got home, you would here a completely different attitude. I actually had to get out and push! It definitely was not my favorite part of day camp!!

And I know that summer is coming to a close as I prepare for our Westmoreland County Fair. Our fair is always the very last thing we do in summer, then school starts the next week. I am getting my dogs ready with some last minute work. I have gathered up my gown that I made for submission. The most exciting thing is that I got nominated to run for the Westmoreland Fair Queen, so I have been preparing essays and speeches for the week.

See you all at State Days!
