The bitter is summer’s looming end, begging the question; on
which side of the list do quieter beaches belong?
Sure, I love that with fewer tourists parking will be a
non-issue until next May or June. And yet, I admit it. I may be the only year-round-local
who actually misses the tourist and laments that September means that for the slocals—the down-all-summer-locals— it’s time to pack-up and
go home.
To make sure this September the sweet out-balances the
bitter, I’m celebrating a few extra holidays from a quirky September holiday
list I found on line.
In honor of Read a Book Day on September
6, and International Literacy Day
on September 8, I’m celebrating with
a chance to win books giveaway on my Facebook Author Page. Follow this link and look

A couple of other quirky holidays you may want to celebrate
with me:
- September
3 International Bacon Day
—A day to celebrate bacon! Who knew?
- September 13 Positive Thinking Day —Because who can’t benefit from a few happy thoughts?
- September 18 Wife Appreciation Day —Just happens to coincide with our 34th Wedding Anniversary. How cool is that?
The stores may be displaying Halloween, but I resolve to enjoy
September one day at a time. How about you? What are the things about September
that mean the most to you?

Carol,
ReplyDeleteIt may be my favorite weather month. Sunny days when you can turn off the AC and open windows, cool nights and great sleeping, changing colors in the trees.
Since childhood, September has signaled a new beginning, I guess because of a new school year. In the work world, it was the last quarter of the fiscal year, most vacations were over and people focused on finishing the year strong.
On the sad side, we pause mid-month to remember 9/11 and how our world was changed forever.
For me, it means my sister's Cape May house will be less occupied, so like that old song from our teenage years, I will: see you you in September, see you, when the summer's through...

Chris, your comment reminds me that September 11 started as a beautiful blue sky day, and how quickly life as so many knew it changed forever.
ReplyDeleteHope to enjoy September with in Cape May you soon.
As a teacher September always meant school, the rush to get a classroom ready and welcoming, the wondering if what this year's class will be like, and the lament of not enough time in a day to do anything. Being retired hit both my husband and me as we were following a school bus up Rt. 47and realized that we didn't have school and could actually make plans for week days!
ReplyDeleteSeptember is a special month also because our anniversary is on the 2nd (49 years) and my birthday is on the 19th (no number for that!). And don't forget Fall Migration and all the raptors that fly over Cape May.
Mary Jane, funny how retirement reality slowly creeps in. Thanks for the reminder to watch the sky for fall migration.
DeleteHappy 49th to you and Chuck and Happy no number to you
Best,
Carol
