summer is winding down and fall is taking over






The last few weeks have been very busy scurring about with the tail end of produce season. Our local heritage day celebration in the town was last week too and that had me making breakfast for 200 at the firehall, making lunch for 175 and fitting in some time to walk around our town to see what the venders had for sale. I ended up purchasing a miser's purse that was hand crocheted. It will be a nice accessory for next years reinactment costume that I am working on for me. Hannah wore one that I made 3 years ago for her sister and her friend wore one that I made 2 years ago. Our summer was very tied up so I was unable to make new dresses this year.
College classes are going way better than expected. I am actually learning to like Algebra and the other two are just great.
My dear grandson called today (via mommy) and babbled to me. Oh what joy it is being a grammy. I am watching him grow so quickly and look forward to seeing him.
This week was also recovery week as I had severe allergies that then settled into my chest. I am still coughing but thankful that it was not a virus. The children were all so worried about me and I ask them why? They proceeded to let me know that I NEVER got sick and what was the world coming to with MOM being down!
Oh 2 weeks ago Tom decided to take us on a spur of the moment fun day and drove us to Black Water Falls. We had a great time going up and the children love seeing the falls. After some time at the falls we stopped by Mt. Storm lake and let them wade in the water that is always very warm. We packed a lunch and just had a great family time. I love it when he gets one of his wild hairs!
This week looks like overload with meetings, speaking presentations, dentist appointments and the start of music lessons. The end of the week will be great though as I have a date with my hubby and Garrett was asked to go to homecoming with a young lady (that i like very much). Glad I am not in control of my time or I would really be in a sling!
Oh also included photos of my living room redo. Amazing what a $15 dollar can of floor paint will do and rearranging what you already own.
