Welcome to September

What can you say about September? I have to say probably back to the same routine unless you are in areas like Houston, Texas with the Harvey Hurricane. I am sure things there won’t be back to normal for a while.

I guess you could say routine and normal is the same thing in some ways. Summer is over and kids are back in school while the parents come off of vacation as well. Labor Day is the last holiday in the USA until Veterans Day in October and then Thanksgiving along with Christmas in November and December.

Before Fall comes at the end of September here in Western Washington we have a fair in Puyallup called Washington State Fair. It has had several names over the years however it is now for everyone in the state or it represents everyone anyway. The Fair as it is called by most now runs for the month of September. When I was a kid it ran for two weeks. Besides going on different rides along with eating food the reason I liked the fair was that I was able to get out of school early. My dad would take us to the fair because our mother was a teacher in another district so they had a different day for the fair. Every school district has a chosen day for the kids to get out early and go to the fair. We sometimes went to the fair with mom but it was on a Saturday instead.

I know that some kids are excited to get back to school though more likely the parents. You are meant to chuckle here. I wasn’t a big fan of school so September I didn’t look forward to. I have to be honest right! I did like seeing my best friends though.

September the weather is nice most of the month here however we will probably have a few rain drops. It gives us the taste for when it really comes in October.

Now that we are back to our so-called normal lives enjoy September while you can remember it will go by so quickly. Depending where you live it will be fall in three weeks while other places it will be spring. So welcome aboard September nice to see you again.
