August.
We moved Young Man home for two weeks.
He went to California...
...and we spent 3 lovely days in St Joseph, MI, which despite claiming to be a dog friendly city, does NOT allow dogs on the beach.
Still, we had a very nice time.
I watched this lady lose herself in building a sand castle. I could tell this was therapeutic for her. Watching her build it was therapy. She gathered rocks and sea weed and shells and incorporated them into her structure. I asked her what she did for a living, figuring it was either engineering or artsy. She is a photographer.
The Young Lady had her Senior pictures taken.
Yes. I said Senior.
She had her last "first day of school" photo taken. And we had our last Meet the Teacher Night. (We were not sad.)
We moved the Young Man back to school, into an apartment, for his senior year. Yes. Again. I said senior.
I predict being swamped by graduations in the spring.
Olive took a sunbath on the patio. Her elbows are completely healed and we've rejoiced in long walks together.
There were some raucous good times on our back porch. No photos were taken (to protect the innocent and guilty). Let's just say Sangria.
While I do not like setting the alarm, I am glad to be back into a routine. I've been getting the housework back on schedule, and after taking August off, my knitting classes have resumed.
And on to Autumn- my favorite season!
Love,
Kim
