My grand son has completed his first week of school.  This is the picture as he headed out on the first day of all-day kindergarten.

I understand that he has returned each day completely exhausted.  Well, he is still a baby!!  Okay, he  would hate to hear me say that.  He is a big boy now, but, good grief, they grow up so fast.

My grand daughter has started sixth grade.  Honestly, it seems like last year that she was startling kindergarten.

I stole these pictured from Facebook.  They are just too cute not to share.

  2. Lovely kids, and I like the cat. When of the ironies of getting older it that moments become shorter. A year in the life of your grandchild becomes a flash.

  4. Your Grandson and mine are the same age - my Caden started K-garten this year, too. He loves it and cried when his Mom had to get him early last week for a DR appointment. What a cute photo of your Granddaughter and the kitty!

  5. Very cute kids. I hope they have a great school year. I don't know why they have to grow up so fast.

  6. I think Facebook is a boon for us grammas, not just the kids! That's how I keep up, too!
    Cheers from Cottage Country!

  7. I too have stolen pics off Facebook (actually that's probably the only thing I do with Facebook.)
    Your pictures are adorable. Now I want to show my grandson's first day school pic too (maybe on my blog later)!

  8. So cute! Yes, they do grow up so fast. Education is a wonderful thing, but by age five, kids will now never just be free to be. There will now be school and more school, and then jobs. It's kind of bitter sweet.

  10. Olga, my grandson, Miles, started kindergarten this year too. I was talking to his mother, my daughter, and I commented on what a long day it was. My daughter answered with, "Yeah, isn't it great?"

  11. You are right! Kids grow up way too fast, but I remember wanting to grow up when I was a kid! I just wish the years would slow down!

 On September 29, I had the closing on my condo. Everything that was not going to the buyers was out and packed in the ABF moving truck which had by the been taken over to the storage units. Don thought it would take him until Wednesday to finish packing the truck with the help of his son. It took him until late Thursday with Chris' help and mine. Kevin was supposed to help load as well but he was in a mountain bike accident and wrecked his shoulder the week before. That added driving him to doctor appointments to my to do list and dong some shopping for him plus jobs around the house that might need two functioning upper limbs.  We stayed with Kevin on Friday night after the closing and then had a suite in an extended stay place for the coming week. This was the worst possible time to have to get a room because the prices balloon during leaf peeping season if you can even find a room at all. But it was close to the storage units where we were working and it was dog friendly. We ju

Wedding

 Don and I drove to South Carolina to attend the wedding of my step-grandson, Will. Will Will and Katie The wedding took place on Dataw Island, a beautiful outdoor ceremony followed by a reception in the country club. We stayed in a tiny cottage in the historic center of Beaufort, rented from Vrbo. Since the wedding was at 5 p.m., we had time to explore the area a bit. I really like the low country scenery and historical charm. Sitting quietly in the curtained gazebo I was visited by multiple cardinals. They came to visit the feeder, not me, but I can always pretend! How I will always remember Will!

Rest In Peace

 In a summer that has been so wet, Sunday was a reprieve. The humidity dropped and the sun came out. It was a day that could have been special ordered by the family of a friend's husband. It was the day they had arranged his celebration of life ceremony set on the shore of Lake Champlain. I was not looking forward to the gathering, even couched as a celebration. This is a family fraught with relationship tensions. It turned out to be a beautiful day and a beautiful ceremony. A Catholic priest gave a brief but meaningful homily and two Air Force members played "Taps" and presented the American flag to my friend. I am not a Christian, but I do know about Christ Consciousness. That priest's word's filled me with such a sense of peace and love. I hope it did the same for the family members and neighbors who attended.
