Hey, it's the Weekend!


Yesterday was the first day of autumn, but it was still feeling a lot like summer.  The weather has been fabulous.


The past couple of weeks have seen us eating out more than usual.  I've been feeling sort of lazy and uninspired in the kitchen.

We did a little front door refresh.  Our son did most of the work, and I'm amazed that we raised a child that knows his way around a toolbox.  New paint, lighting, and window inserts....and it feels like an entirely new entry way!

Chrysanthemums are blooming.

And my passport is going to be put to use tomorrow... my girl and I are off to the land of shamrocks and leprechauns :)

Follow me on Instagram to see what we get up to.

Happy Weekend!

September


Well, this is awkward.

It's September.

My last post was in March, and I've got some catching up to do.

We went to Mexico.  It was awesome.


I hit the big five-oh.


There were growing up milestones.

Our youngest graduated elementary school.

Our oldest bought a house.

Another one of our boys bought himself a new truck.


It's been a gloriously hot and sunny summer.

 We did Niagara Falls.



Boldt Castle and a Thousand Islands Boat Cruise.



Toronto Zoo.



Camping at Killbear Provincial Park.



And a WEDDING.

Our oldest son is now married, and it was a beautiful, wonderful, magical day.






Then another one of our boys went away to school.  That was hard.


And on the first day of school I realised that my youngest child is in high school.


I have been proud and happy and wistful and sad and nervous, sometimes all at once.


And now that everyone is settled, and the house is a little quieter, I'm feeling strangely adrift.


Time to get back on course!
