Autumn is in the air......

It's almost Autumn, my favorite season... Even if it means the end of Summer and it means getting closer to winter, it's still my favorite time of year! Even if it means that during my favorite season THIS YEAR, I will hit the half century mark... even if.... even if.    Anyway, I love the air. Its easy to get up and head out for a walk in cooler temperatures, I love the colors, I love the holidays during this season, I love that school starts. I was always excited for school to start when I was a student and so the getting ready for school stuff still envokes nice feelings for me. Even though it was always difficult sending my young children off, I did enjoy the tighter schedule (for the first bit) rather than the looseness of Summer (which I was craving come the end of the school year!). I've made a few trips to Mt. Plesant recently with friends and family. I think just getting in some last minute R & R before school starts. My Baby is a senior in high school! (my eyes are watery) She has desires to go far away for college next year! (PANG) My next youngest is starting her senior year in college! Wow. I feel the need to spend more time with my family. That is what we did, had a bar-b-que for Labor day with all the kids and grandkids. Very fun. They are the best. I love them all! Today I was on a road trip with my hubby....went to Flaming Gorge, he told me that this is where the above photo was taken of him! a mere forty some years ago!
