NO! The experiences haven't ended yet! I've just slacked off and haven't posted for the last two weekends, but I will soon document the Experience Summer adventures that have taken place in Des Moines and Ames including: The Des Moines Art Festival, the Principal River Walk, The Asian Gardens, the Ankeny Goodwill Store :), Big Creek, a rainy 4th of July parade, and a walk around Ada Hayden Lake. Nope - not as "out there" as some of my past summer experiences thus far, but sometimes it's OK to take it easy. That's the excuse I'm using anyway.
In fact, I'd like to "take it easy" but for the next month it will be more like hyper-speed. In addition to continuing learning golf and re-learning Spanish, I have 3 upcoming golf games, I'm packing to move out of my apartment and into a house, designing new promotional materials for the Chamber, getting a newsletter out, and - oh yeah, preparing to leave for SPAIN in now less than 2 weeks!
The great thing, though, is that last week when 4th of July was approaching I thought to myself, "Dang - it's the 4th already! The summer is already half over..." But THEN I realized ... YES! It is almost half-over, but I have nothing to regret this year because I've finally made the most out of the great weather, longer days and summer adventure spirit. And I'm thrilled for the next couple months of the season because if it's even half as good as the first 6 weeks, then, quite frankly, I will have accomplished what I set out to do. Feels good to actually have an answer to the "What have you been up to this summer?" question!
Until the next update ...
