Good Morning and Happy Sunday! The sun is either slow to wake up today or is hiding behind some clouds, not wanting to greet the day. It might have something to do with the raindrops I see on the patio. Maybe cooler temperatures are finally here to stay. What did we do this week? Serra is turning into quite the busy bee on campus with adding a job to her plate. She is now a part of the Global Initiative department that promotes the college's study abroad program. It's ten hours a week, assisting at events and answering questions in the office and via email. I would wonder if it were too much if I didn't know how I am...
Good Morning and Happy Sunday! We turned the calendar to a new month last Monday and I think Mother Nature decided to take her foot off the heat pedal. I don't want to say Fall is here as that implies an overwhelming amount of pumpkin spice in every product imaginable. Instead, let's just say I am enjoying the cooler temperatures. What have we been up to this week? Serra is settling into her classes. As usual there is always one class that loves to bake her noodle. This semester it is analytical chemistry. Thankfully she is not alone. She and fellow classmates have already set up study sessions to work together on it. One thing I love about her college...
Good Morning and Happy Sunday! A cloudless bright blue sky is greeting me outside the patio door today. Thankfully the heat of summer is finally winding down and evenings are cooling off which helps sleep. Amanda having the window open on the other side of the place is just the right amount to keep both of us comfortable. I think the forecast is calling for clear skies today. What did we do this week? Monday feels ages ago! Serra has spent the week reconnecting with college friends and settling into the groove of campus life. I'm told homework for next week is already done and she is disappointed about not having class tomorrow with the holiday. She now plans to...
Good Morning and Happy Sunday! Finally cooler temperatures have arrived, and people are enjoying them by spending time on the lake. I don't mind the easy slide into fall, even if pumpkin drinks are already out of control. We had an absolute whirlwind of a week. So much so that I'm having trouble remembering what date Monday was! I just had to check the calendar. Amanda had her long-awaited interview that went well. She thinks the person liked her and was told she would receive an email this week from the next group. It took her friend a couple of weeks of interviews, so I am working on being patient with the Universe. I was so anxious for her that...
Good Morning and Happy Sunday! It's a quiet day on the lake so far today, not much foot traffic. People are either sleeping in or don't realize how hot the forecast is going to be. As for me, I slept way too much and found a Serra mouse already awake and snacking on muffins. What have we been up to lately? Serra had a day out with the best friend, and they are planning a sleepover tonight. It will be the last one of the summer as it is time to head back to campus on Friday with classes starting a week from tomorrow. Her week will be spent doing laundry and packing suitcases for her return. In some ways...
