Meals for a Month {Aug-Sept}

I can hardly believe that by the next time I write a menu, it will be almost FALL! The summers just speed by the older we get, don't they? I for one have thoroughly enjoyed the long, warm days and all the beautiful little delights (I refer you to my last menu post!). And I plan on squeezing every memorable moment out of the last days of sparkling sunshine that we get! When you live in a place that can have snow on the ground 6 months or more out of the year, you learn to appreciate summer!! This menu is a little disjointed because we have several events breaking things up...this week is Pend Oreille County fair week and since the church has a booth, our meals will be a mix of fair food (hopefully only once) and quick portable or cold things I can take with us. The following week, we'll be visiting my parents in Oregon for a few days- my grandparents are home from Africa for the summer and visiting my folks. I haven't seen them in 2 years, so I'm really excited about that! When we get home, we have a two day mini conference for our mission organization at a nearby camp! Whew! It's going to be a busy next few weeks, and it all starts today! I'm just going to take a deep breath and hope I'm ready for it! :) Hope you have had a beautiful summer!
