God has given us
these times of Joy
Psalm 81:4
Our Sunshine Boy with his back pack
ready for the first day of Kindergarten
August rushes by like desert rainfall,
A flood of frenzied upheaval,
Expected, but still catching me unprepared.
Like a match flame bursting on the scene,
heat and haze of crimson sunsets.
Like a dream
Of moon and dark barely recalled,
A moment, Shadows caught in a blink.
Like a quick kiss;
One wishes for more
But it suddenly turns to leave,
Dragging summer away.
Elizabeth Maua Taylor, August
A TIME TO ENJOY
His younger brother, Our Little Ray,
says his big brother is #1
GOOD MORNING !
There are now only 9 weekends left til the end of the camping season. I know I will be having severe withdrawal pains when it all ends. But for now I’m set on enjoying each and everyone of them to the fullest.
The thought has occurred to me that there may be less than 9 camping seasons left for me to enjoy. Time marches on and I wonder how long I will be able to do it. None of us knows any more about the future than that what we know right now. Summer fades, autumn follows, seasons continue on.
That much we know.
Today is OVER THE HUMP DAY and most of my weekly work is done. My boss will be out this afternoon so that means I’ll be working an hour later than usual. I get paid overtime so it’s an ok thing. It is just such a long day especially when there is no one in.
I suppose I’ll have to do some office cleaning. More and more leaves are changing color and quite a few are falling. That may be due to the fact that we haven’t had much rain. Those leaves whirl around in circles in our parking lot at work and right up to the entry door. Every time someone opens it, in come the leaves. It’ll be a constant battle now til about December to keep those leave swept out.
I hope you enjoyed the pictures of our Sunshine Boy off to his first day of Kindergarten. I’m hoping that the rest of my babes will be sending some BACK TO SCHOOL pictures and when they do I’ll put them in this journal. All of my grand children are now in school (this includes PreSchool) except for one. He is just 2 so he has a ways to go yet.
My 1st cup of good coffee (which seems extra good this morning) is about done now so …
I owe, I owe
It’s off to work I go…
Getting on the school bus
THOUGHT FOR TODAY
Go outside, to the fields,
enjoy nature and the sunshine,
go out and try to recapture
happiness in yourself and in God.
Think of all the beauty that’s still left
in and around you and be happy!
Anne Frank
There he goes
May the Lord Bless YOU

Great pictures of the grand kids; so cute. Well, I'm not the biggest fan of Old Man Winter but that hurricane approaching the Gulf of Mexico can change my attitude on that for awhile. I think you will have lots and lots of happy camping days ahead:).............alice

Aww, great pictures. I hope it wasn't too traumatic for him...probably more traumatic for Mom and Grandma!

I was just saying to Mary today when we were driving to our nearby town that the autumn was comming soon as the leaves were turning colour on some of the trees especially the horse chestnut...soon the kids will be picking the chestnuts and the autumn game of conkers will be played everywhere !! Love Sybil xx

Hope your grandson has an awesome day. Signs of fall are here too and I'm loving it. Nothing like color to lift one's spirits. Thanks for the lovely entries. Always look forward to stopping by.

Oh those pics of him getting on the school bus are just priceless.
Someday everyone will look back at those and go "oh wow how precious".
I guess their household is busy.
Love hearing about the weather up your way b/c I know that it'll get cooler there first. Hearing from you lets me know it's truly heading our way (fall).
Have a good rest of the week. I ALWAYS think of you on Wednesday, our "over the hump day". I celebrate the over the hump part at LongHorn. It crosses over while I'm there to the latter part of the week. lol
TAke care.

Your Sunshine Boy is a dandy! He looks as if he was ready! That's Great! I think mine cried everyday until he got to the ....the 11th. LOL Now is the time I'd want to start camping. I'd like to camp when it starts getting cooler. The campfire would feel so good. Enjoy!
