the first.

Wow–is it really September? The first of September? It’s hard to believe that summer is almost over. I confess I am looking forward to the cooling of temperatures and the leaves changing, wearing 3/4 length sleeves again and denim jackets. I found a really cute pink corduroy blazer at the Gap outlet–gotta love half price 🙂 Soup for lunch and fall pictures. Fall also means eating healthier-losing the summer weight I seem to put on every year. Ice cream is challenging to resist. So many things are different this September. Hurricane Katrina has devastated New Orleans, the pictures are unbelievable-like something Hollywood would create for some blockbuster movie. I am so sad for the people who have lost their homes. Family and friends–it seems everyone knows someone who has been touched. Aunt Patty’s mother Gigi & her brother and his wife, all evacuated to Lafayette. It’s just unbelievable. On a happier note–we are loving being in Spring Hill and in our own home. I knew we would have projects to work on together but even I am amazed at all there is we can do. My lists are never ending. But that’s OK. Thinking about the future, a trip to Europe in November and settling in to life in the burbs. Lots of firsts for our family of two.
