Summer is a season of surprises.
It seem that more than any other season of the year things come up, we get surprised, plans get changed. Earlier this summer, while vacationing in Northern Wisconsin, Susan and I were driving some back roads when we were surprised by a bear wandering across the road. We were more startled than the bear. A month ago Susan's gall stones surprised us and rearranged our family plans. There have been other surprises, the car repair that I estimated at about a hundred dollars costing over eight hundred.
