Birthdays

September is a month of numerous birthdays in my family.  Mike's birthday was in September.  My mother's birthday was in September.  A niece, a nephew, a step grand daughter, and a grand nephew (great nephew??) all have birthdays in September.  I have not been so great about getting cards out in honor of the various celebrations, but I did manage to make a couple.
One for my baby sister.

One for her youngest.

60 and 30.

  3. Wonderful birthday cards!

    Help me nail down that great-/grand- issue, will you, please? I think I prefer "grand," since I'll never be a grandmother.

  9. You do really nice work. Those are keeper cards and mean so much more than the card company supply.

  10. The mention of keeping cards...I found a hanging file in Mike's file cabinet that was marked "O" and in it were all the cards and little notes I had given him over the years. I had assumed he just tossed them, never knew he had the sentimental streak. He still surprises me.

  15. Those cards are beautiful. I've always admired those with paper-crafting skills. I typically just write all over it, not make it pretty.

 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.
