The Return

Oh the return of fall and all the things that go with it. I am not a fan of this season for many reasons:

1. It gets dark early

2. The start of school-(more when I was teaching)

3. Football season

4. The endless days of rain and gloom

5. The fact that I have to be indoors more

6. Wearing sweatshirts, jackets and shoes with socks

Ok, I know that I am complaining but it just seems that summer was here one day and the next it was fall. I spent nap time yesterday putting away the pools, swim gear and water toys. Very depressing for me but my daughter did not seem to care. She must be related to her dad who loves the fall and all that comes with it.

UPDATE:

The four of us will be leaving next week for a quick trip to LA and Bakersfield. We are going to visit family especially our niece Brandie who is still hospitalized in LA. We will stay a few days to visit her and then head to Bakersfield for the weekend and return to visit Brandie before leaving. Our return home will be on Monday, September 21st. Please continue to pray for healing for Brandie, wisdom for the doctors and nurses working with her and safe travels for the four of us.

Mail

I love to get the mail, especially if I get something personal. Until today! It is only the 12th of August and already I am getting magazines for Halloween. I went into Michael's the other day and they have Halloween stuff out! What is this world coming to? I really enjoy the summer and the sun and do not want to think about the dark, rainy months of the fall ahead. I am giving up on going into stores for awhile and I am just going to take in every minute of summer before it is really gone.
