Last Days of Summer Contest
The big yellow school bus, apples almost ready to pick, and catalogs with “fall preview” on their covers. All sure signs that summer is almost over. How does that make you feel? Happy that the super hot days of the season will soon be over or sad that the days will soon shorten and grow cooler? I want to know.
So, here’s the deal. Tell me something about summer’s end. Keep is short and sweet; it’s not a writing contest. Beginning with the first person to leave a word or two I’ll number each one as they come in. Then I’ll pick one from a basket – blindfolded – and declare a winner. How simple is that? I’ll have it to you before Labor Day.
Starts today. Ends Friday.
Oh – the prize. A gingham lined collapsible picnic basket with a bottle holder, a signed copy of The Red Shoelace Killer and Not Your Mother’s Book – On Being a Stupid Kid ( my story is one of them), a beaded bookmark, a jar of my own blueberry jam and a copy of my poem The Last Picnic of Summer. Take a look. Thanks for entering!
For me the end of summer brings mixed feelings. My beautiful summer flowers are losing a bit of their color. My petunias are beginning to turn brown and crinkley on the bottoms. The days are getting shorter and it is the beginning of routine once again.
ReplyDeleteBut...it is also the beginning of the signs of fall. The mums are beginning to make their little "ball buds" on the ends of the stems. I love apple picking and all the fall activities. And, dare I say, the holidays are not far behind! -Pam K.
What a nice picture you paint, Pam! Tossing you in the hat. Thanks for posting!
DeleteWow! Great idea, Sue. I hope I win. :-)
ReplyDeleteHi, Jen. Your name is in the hopper. Good luck!
DeleteOops, I forgot the season reference. Here it goes:
DeleteFor me, the end of summer is not a bummer.
'cause I like fall, most of all! :-)
Short and sweet, Jen. Thanks!
DeleteI've been struggling to run through the heat and humidity, so the end of summer means that running will feel good again! And since my running partners are covered with fur, I have extra reason to welcome the cooler fall weather.
ReplyDeleteHi Jackie! Ugh - running when it's humid is horrible. Fall has a lot going for it in that respect. I'll put your name in the hat! So glad you stopped by.
DeleteI'm very sad about summer's end. It's hard on me every.single.year to put my babies back on the bus, another year older, another year closer to leaving.
ReplyDeleteWe've had such a wonderfully fun summer, and I'm happy.
I'm happy that you're happy for the fun summer. Our next to last baby will be getting on the bus for kindergarten this year. Sniff. One more to go and then grandma will be alone a lot more. Your name goes in the mix, Rhonda!
DeleteAs a child summer seemed to be long and stretched out. I looked forward to going back to school: new lined paper tablets, new pencils, new shoes. Fast forward to now, I look forward to the great bargains on school supplies, especially those yellow folders. Each of my writing projects has its own folder.
ReplyDeleteThen of course there's the coolness of fall: warm days, cool nights. Changing of the trees. Only God could arrange the awesome colors of red, orange, yellow to blend together.
Yup, the kids are getting outfitted for school and the stores know it! I love the idea of a yellow tablet for each project. There's something about the physicality of a pen on paper that feels so right. I love the autumn trees and hate the autumn heating bills! Thanks for your entry, Marion.
DeleteMarion...there is something about yellow tablets. When I write poetry I have to hand-write it first. I don't why that is, but that works best for me with poetry. Pam K.
DeleteHi Sue,
ReplyDeleteI always have mixed feelings about the end of summer. I enjoy my planters brimming with color on our deck and a morning cuppa of joe, fresh tomatoes, apples, pears and peaches growing on our fruit trees. I love the fall very much though but our winters are long and hard, no doubt about it. Each year it seems they last longer. Could be an age thing!
While I'm fortunate to have an autographed copy of your book and also got one for my daughter I'd still love to be included in the contest. Anyone could use each one of these items as a gift or to keep. Please sign me up!
Christine
Consider yourself entered, Christine! I totally agree about winter!
ReplyDeleteThe basket is so pretty and my reply is so gloomy, so I apologize beforehand! I usually dread the end of summer. What it means for me is that school starts up again for my kids, ages 6 and 4. I love our carefree summer days, filled with playdates and trips to the ice cream parlor for homemade ice cream. I'm conscious of the fact that children are only little for so long, so I want to be with them as much as I can every single day. And I'm still cool to them--that will change, I know--so they love being with me as much as I love being with them. Lol.
ReplyDeleteAlso, this impending school year will be the first time my 6 year-old goes to school full-day. She has severe food allergies. It brings panicked tears to my eyes simply thinking about my child sitting in a school cafeteria, surrounded by kids whose parents packed them some type of nut-containing item for lunch. As much as she knows not to accept any food from anyone other than a relative, a kid is a kid, and it only takes a bite to send her to the emergency room. So I have to trust that my child will resist temptation when a schoolmate offers her a cookie, and trust that the school will handle all food allergies competently. And I always volunteer to be the class mom at both of my kids' schools, to give myself as much peace of mind as possible.
So that's where I am about the end of summer! Hope I didn't bum you out too much. Your offer is thoughtful and fun. Thanks for the contest, Susan! :-)
Hi Janette! Thanks for your earnest words. You echo the sentiments of many mothers and the ones who have kids with horrible allergies have my sympathy. Our grandson goes for allergy shots every week. His aren't food related but he reacts severely to dust, mold, and all the other kinds of things that can get his sinuses clogged. Let's hope for a beautiful fall and good luck with the contest!
DeleteThe last days of summer. August seems to hardly begin when we get glimpses of it ending. For me the heat of these summers of late have been too much. Yet, what I will surely miss as it ends is the LIGHT of summer. I love the early morning light and how it seems to last and last into the evening. However, autumn has always been my favorite season, spring a close second. And during the muggy humid days of summer, I even find myself longing for winter. People think I’m crazy and perhaps I am. Each season though does give us something unique. That's what we need to go with, though I admit I have days where I fail to see that. Especially when the darkness seems to engulf us.
ReplyDeleteYour kindness in giving this contest is so sweet. Thank you, Sue. I hope the winner happens to be someone who has the hardest time having summer come to an end. Your prize will surely help them.
Cindy, I also long for winter when it's 90 out and 85% humidity. That doesn't seem crazy to me at all. LOL I'll miss the light, too, especially when it's only 4 o'clock in the afternoon and the sun is going down. I'm putting your name in the hat! Hugs, my friend.
DeleteHi Sue,
ReplyDeleteSummers closing always brings mixed emotions for me. Summer being my favorite season, it's sad for the warm weather to slowly creep out. However I am usually exhausted by the summers end from cramming so many activities in with my step sons. Our favorite thing to do is light a fire outside, have a glass on wine and reflect on the summers fond memories, and get excited about fall. Before I met Jay, my appreciation for fall wasn't as great as it is now. And as we are able to, we try to plan a trip to our usual pre-fall place...Letchworth State Park. There we see first the changing of the seasons.
Hi Dawn, So glad you stopped by! I know what you mean by summer's end - everything looks a bit dusty and tired. Guess that's why God gave us 4 seasons. As soon as one get old - we have something new to look forward to. Your name's in! Hugs
DeleteI look forward to summer's end. I am just not a hot weather kind of girl, don't care for heat and humidity. Love the relief of cooler fall temperatures! Some of this may be due to growing up in a shore town where the influx of seasonal visitors was always a hassle to me as a local. As an adult, of course, I now see the value to the local economy. So bring on fall - but not too cold too fast lest our heating bills get out of hand. LOL :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for doing this, and happy almost fall to you!
Hi Karen, I'm so glad to have you here! I agree that fall should be slow in coming. Heating bills are the pits! I'll put your name in the hat. Good luck!
DeleteI love the beginning of summer when the fireflies come out and light up the backyards. When you smell campfires, and cut grass and taste ripe, red strawberries. I love the lazy feel of summer days and evening concerts under the stars. But then the heat comes and I don't like summer anymore...so I can't wait for fall. I absolutely LOVE fall...the cool crisp days for riding a bike, the taste of apples crisp off the tree, the changing colors of each day. Each season has it's special anticipation when it begins...but Fall could be never ending for me. Christa Slater
ReplyDeleteChrista, Most people who have the cooler weather to look forward to feel as you do. My favorite season, too! Thanks for entering. See you Sunday!
DeleteHi Aunt Sue,
ReplyDeleteHere's a poem I wrote about the end of summer.
Love,
Rebekah
The End of Summer
What is the end of summer?
The start of a new world for me.
What is the end of summer?
The wind blowing our green fig tree.
When friends go back to school again
Cold weather comes at night
And soon my lessons will begin
Seeing my school friends, to my delight
Clouds start to cover a midnight star
We have one last trip to the beach
Make sure past summer memories don't drift out far
And fresh juicy apples are almost in reach
Though summer has a place in my heart
It's time for the new season to start
Excellent, Rebekah! I'm so glad to have you visit my blog. I'll put your name in and wish you luck. Love you to bits. Aunt Sue
DeleteIt's North Central Minnesota and Summer got another late start. There was snow into May and piles of the white stuff remained until nearly the end of May. June was a "mixed bag" of cool and warmth with lots of moisture. Leading into July we began thinking how nice and warm it was, but that was short-lived! A cold blast arrived and threatened frosty temperatures lasting for weeks! The flowers were not doing well and still aren't. The forecast for the next week will climb into the 90s! Now that's a rarity for us and it becomes down right unbearable for those who cannot handle high humidity along with the heat, like me! I'd rather stay indoors with fans blaring on me than endure that outside! So as Summer is gearing down, it's winding up here in Northern Minnesota! Unusual? Of course not! This is Minnesota in Summer! I'll get a normal Summer when I return to our "Winter" home in Arizona the end of October! Enjoy the rest of your SUMMER! Molly Randall
ReplyDeleteMolly! Glad you post posted. LOL I hope you survive the 90 weather and that it doesn't come our way! Ugh. I'll put your name in the hat. Stop by often. I love hearing from you. Hugs.
DeleteWith spring comes the promise of the long hot summer stretched ahead of me and each year I mentally plan all the outdoor things I hope to do in the months to come. Though I love flowers, I've learned that my commitment to their care fades and my husband threatens to blacktop any garden I may have started! I never quite get around to staking a few tomato plants in a pot on the back porch. I'm going to walk every day...I'm going to ride my bike every day...THIS year we'll actually get season tickets to the theater...life gets in the way and the best intentions fall to the wayside. Maybe next year! As the weeks of August chip away, I'm looking forward to the crisp autumn days when I can bring out one of my beautiful sweaters, turn off the AC and throw open the windows before the snow flies. The colder weather will also allow me to sew without feeling guilty for staying inside -- and, of course, curling up under a blanket with hot chocolate and a good book is the meaning of life, isn't it? Nancie Van Alstyne
ReplyDeleteOh, Nancie. My commitment wanes by this time in the summer, too. The yard does look a bit better this year, but it's a lot to keep. Thanks for stopping by! Good luck.
DeleteThank you all for participating! If you haven't read it on my Facebook page, Janette Dolores was our winner.

Marc Marquez Bantah Sudah Menolong Ducati
ReplyDeletehttp://www.football-images.net/2014-08-18/6bd86f6d7e4a092b242f0a156b0e91e0.jpg
Agen Bola Terpercaya indo11.com melaporkan, Juara bertahan MotoGP, Marc Marquez menepis tuduhan yang dialamatkan kepadanya baru-baru ini, usai menjalani babak kualifikasi MotoGP seri Rep. Ceska, Sabtu (16/8/2014). Marquez membantah tuduhan yang menyebut dirinya membantu riders Ducati, Andrea Dovizioso.
Seperti diketahui, pada babak kualifikasi di atas sirkuit Masaryk kembali berhasil merebut pole position seperti pada delapan seri sebelumnya. Pembalap Honda Repsol itu bersama dua pembalap Ducati, Dovizioso dan Andrea Iannone (Pramac Ducati) berada di baris start pertama.
Dinilai banyak menyimpan unsur kejanggalan, rider berjuluk Baby Alien itu dituduh dengan sengaja mengatur hasil babak kualifikasi untuk mempermudah lajunya pada race nanti malam. Untuk itu Marquez pun menolak segala pernyataan yang menyudutkannya.
Rekan satu tim Dani Pedrosa ini juga berbicara bagaimana ia mengetahui bahwa Iannone sangat agresif dan berpeluang mendapatkan pole position.
Sebagai tambahan, Rossi menyebutkan bahwa dua pembalap Ducati berada pada baris pertama adalah hal yang lebih dari sekedar kebetulan. Pedrosa, Lorenzo, dan Rossi akan memulai balapan dari tempat kelima, enam, dan tujuh.

Sabuk Juara Mayweather Jr Dilucuti WBO
ReplyDeletehttp://www.football-images.net/2015-07-08/6a52e43af2c3d779b2ebdcf7806aaa4a.jpg
Agen Bola Terpercaya indo11.com melaporkan, WBO mencabut gelar dan menarik sabuk juara kelas welter yang dimenangkan Floyd Mayweather Jr saat mengalahkan Manny Pacquiao beberapa bulan lalu. Mayweather dianggap gagal mengikuti ketentuan-ketentuan yang dibuat organisasi tinju tersebut.
Mayweather merebut gelar juara dunia WBO kelas welter setelah menang angka mutlak atas Pacquiao pada 2 Mei lalu. Pertandingan tersebut tercatat dalam sejarah sebagai duel dengan rekor finansial terbesar, mulai dari total pendapatan petinju, pembayaran hak siar televisi, penjualan hak siar ke televisi asing, sponsorship hingga harga tiket.
Soal alasan pencabutan gelar, WBO menyebut kalau petinju asal Amerika Serikat itu tidak mengikuti aturan yang mereka punya. WBO memiliki ketentuan kalau petinju yang memiliki beberapa gelar juara dunia dari kelas berbeda harus melepas gelar juara dunia lain yang dipunya, itu dilakukan demi memberi mendorong petinju lain memperebutkan titel tersebut.
Sebagai catatan, Mayweather saat ini masih memegang sabuk juara WBA dan WBC junior kelas menengah. Pencabutan gelar oleh WBO tersebut membuat kelas welter dalam posisi lowong.
"Komite Juara Dunia WBO tidak memiliki alternatif lain kecuali untuk berhenti mengakui Mr. Floyd Mayweather Jr. sebagai juara dunia WBO kelas welter dan mengosongkan titelnya karena gagal mengikuti regulasi WBO," demikian pernyataan resmi WBO.

"Aku akan senang main di lapangan utama," kata Wozniacki. "Aku pikir memang itu tujuannya; Anda bekerja keras dan berlatih, lalu bermain di lapangan utama. Para petenis putri praktis belum memiliki peluang main di lapangan-lapangan utama di sini. Cuma ada satu partai putri di Court One dan Centre Court."
"Pekan lalu juga cuma ada satu partai putri di Court Two. Ini sudah pasti berbeda, cuma itu yang dapat aku katakan. Aku pikir banyak dari kami para petenis putri yang juga merasa layak main di lapangan-lapangan utama di depan banyak penonton," ucapnya.

Agen Bola Indo11.com - Neymar mengaku tenang meskipun ia bakal menanggung beban berat membawa Brasil meraih medali emas di cabang sepakbola, dalam Olimpiade 2016 yang akan digelar di Rio pada Agustus mendatang.
Demi ajang yang tidak masuk dalam kalender FIFA tersebut, Neymar sampai rela absen di turnamen Copa America Centenario. Alasanya, sang pemain ingin menjadi bagian dari sejarah, mengingat Olimpiade merupakan kompetisi yang tak perna dimenangkan Brasil sepanjang sejarah.
Namun meski targetnya begitu tinggi, Neymar mengatakan bahwa ia sama sekali tak merasa tertekan.
"Saya sangat tenang sebelum Olimpiade dimulai. Saya tahu bahwa anda mungkin berpikir saya tertekan, namun tidak dengan kami," tutur Neymar.
"Saya akan melakukan yang terbaik agar Brasil bisa memenangkan medali emas di ajang ini. Saya berharap saya bisa membantu tim meraih impian yang luar biasa ini, yakni meraih medali emas."
Neymar juga memberikan nasihat pada pemain muda di Brasil, yang ingin meraih sukses sepertinya.
"Kalian harus memiliki target yang jelas, anda harus tahu apa yang benar-benar anda inginkan. Dan terkait itu, maka akan ada penghalang yang harus anda atasi. Lakukan hal tersebut dengan sepenuh hati, dan jangan lupa meminta dukungan dari teman dan keluarga anda."
Melempem di Inggris, Falcao Tampil Garang Bersama Monaco
ReplyDeleteAgen Bola Indo11.com - Penyerang AS Monaco, Radamel Falcao membuktikan bahwa dirinya masih belum habis. Pada pertandingan persahabatan yang digelar baru-baru ini, pemain berjuluk El Tigre memborong dua gol kontra klub Portugal, Sporting Lisbon.
Falcao sendiri akhirnya kembali ke AS Monaco setelah mengalami dua musim yang gagal di Inggris. Ia tidak tampil mengesankan di Manchester United maupun di Chelsea, sehingga ia tidak dipermanenkan oleh dua klub raksasa Inggris tersebut.
Meski tampil mandul di Inggris, Falcao nampaknya mulai menemukan bentuk terbaiknya bersama Monaco. Baru-baru ini Falcao mencetak dua gol pada laga comebacknya bersama Monaco saat berhadapan dengan Sporting Lisbon.
Dua gol kemenangan tersebut sukses membawa tim besutan Leonardo Jardim tersebut menang 4-1 atas Sporting Lisbon. Dua gol lainnya dicetak oleh Mendi dan Guido Marcelo Carrillo.
Kondogbia: Interisti, Kami Pasti Lebih Baik
ReplyDeleteAgen Bola Indo11.com - Musim lalu, Inter Milan menargetkan finis di tiga besar Serie A dan lolos ke Liga Champions. Setelah start yang gemilang, Inter mengalami antiklimaks menuju tengah musim, dan akhirnya cuma finis peringkat empat.
Musim 2016/17 ini, Inter bertekad jadi lebih baik. Hal itu disampaikan oleh gelandang Inter Geoffrey Kondogbia buat para Interisti.
"Tak mudah membuat janji, karena musim sangat panjang. Saya hanya bisa mengatakan bahwa kami pasti akan memberikan segalanya demi lebih baik daripada musim lalu," ujar Kondogbia.
Musim lalu, musim pertamanya sejak gabung dari AS Monaco, Kondogbia mengemas cuma satu gol dalam 26 penampilan bersama Inter di pentas Serie A.
"Saya juga berjanji saya akan mencetak lebih dari satu gol," pungkasnya.

"Sejauh ini persiapan saya sangat bagus. Pelatih saya, Craig Christian, menggembleng fisik dan teknik. Saat ini saya tinggal menjalani latihan ringan menuju hari pertandingan," kata Daud.
Setelah beberapa kali batal, Daud akan kembali naik ring untuk memperebutkan sabuk juara dunia kelas ringan (61,2 kg) World Boxing Organization (WBO). Di badan tinju dunia tersebut Daud saat ini menempati peringkat keenam, sedangkan Kato nomor 28.

Lawan Daud, Kato juga mengharapkan yang sama. Dia bertekad bisa mengalahkan Daud pada pertandingan nanti. "Saya sudah mempelajari gaya dia lewat video. Pertandingan ini penting buat saya karena Daud karena saya anggap sebagai petinju yang tangguh dan fight," kata Kato.
