Back in the swing at home.

September......where did the summer go? We are in the throws of our first "fall" front coming thru, so we are having some showers and they promise less humidity will follow. Not necessarily cooler temps, but I'll take drier for a few days.

We had a great couple of weeks in CA with Logan and Ivy. Mike and Kate went over to Manila to find housing and all the other stuff that goes with the move. Logan and Ivy finished summer day camp and right on to the first day of "real" school. Can't believe that Ivy is in kindergarten already!

We were able to celebrate Katie's birthday with her for the first time in a long time. It was really hot that day, so we looked for a cool place to spend some time before dinner at the Cheesecake Factory. Don did some work around their house to get ready for them to leave it for a couple of years. Did a lot of trimming and removing of shrubs and some painting. It's really nice to know that they have such great neighbors who will keep and eye out for them. The are off on their adventure in the wee hours of the morning Sept. 14. It will be hard having them so far away.....that goodness for Skype!

So, we are back at home with a full schedule. Don is hard at work on the grounds and maintenance budget for the neighborhood, I have quilts to quilt and make--as usual, and then there is always the yard and studio. Don has been working on the electrical wiring this week and I even put in the receptical boxes......lots of them. We are really hoping the weather decides to be fallish as it makes it much more pleasant to be outside.

Hope to have more to report in the coming weeks.....stay tuned!
