i simply love fall, and all the goodies it brings
i love the crisp mornings
i love scarfs
i love wool socks
i love sweaters
i love the sunshine burning off the frost
i love the many shades of yellow and orange everywhere
i love when the leaves dance down the street
i love how soup tastes SO much better for lunch
i love that trick or treating is right around the corner =)
septembers are hard for me - the excess of emotions are unnerving. so before i say goodbye to another september, here is a recap.
i blew out an extra candle... making me officially IN my forties. starting another year with CaRrOt CaKe :) "carrot cake is our FaVorITe, mema" -max tells me =)
this birthday had an extra hiccup. this was the first year i didn't receive a card from my grams. the predictable card that would show up in my mail box either the day before or the day of. she was old school like that. picking out the perfect card, underlining words to emphasize her message...
my older sister, niece and i celebrated my fathers bday
he would have been 65
My oldest blew out bday candles too
...23...
you know what this means?!?!?! only 2 more years and he gets a break on his car insurance =)
we had a little superhero action
i just have to note putting him into the spiderman suit was a whole lot easier than getting him out of it lol
and a anniversary
11 years we have been without pop (i came across a picture my niece brandi made back in 2000)
my pop taught me
- how to keep things simple
- to slow down
- to look around
- to MAKE time to smell the flowers
- he tried to teach me not to worry about things, but i still struggle with this one.
so, i say goodbye to september
and embrace all the comforts october brings me.
