If you didn't notice anything else, you would be able to detect the change of seasons by what's on television. The college football teams are starting, the pros are finishing their practice games and the baseball announcers can't seem to talk about anything but the "stretch" for the pennant races. But best of all, the summer hiatus of bull-riding is over and the run-down to the finals in Las Vegas has begun.
The riders were in Lackland, Oklahoma this weekend at an outdoor arena. It was sort of funny to see them riding out in the 100 + degree arena, then ducking into the air-conditioned tent with the locker rooms. I was pleased to see an American win the weekend purse -- I would much rather see that then one of the ubiquitous Brazilians.
We even watched a Seattle Sounders soccer game today. I don't think we had much, if any, interest in soccer until our grandchildren started playing. We sort of understand the game, but I am sure we are missing much of the nuances. It is fun to see that Granddaughter Havela is playing on the Hesston College Women's Soccer Team.
Both of our daughters and their families have spent much of the weekend on the water. MM and her family, plus a couple of extras, went up to a lake on the Canadian border while DT and her family are spending the long weekend out on the sailboat.
It's been a quiet weekend here at Pleasant Pines Campground. Most of the spaces are filled as well as a few of the tent spaces. It's actually chilly, another indication the seasons are changing.
