The daughter is home and tired! She had such a good time. I'm sure we'll be listening to stories for a while. She loved the recreation of the underground railroad. So happy to have her back where she belongs.

Happy 17th Birthday, Matthew! No Mark or Shelby this year. Michael was able to sing Happy Birthday with me and then he was gone. We had Matthew's best friend over for supper, Farmer's Pasta at Matthew's request.

Chris came down from Maine. We did a little shopping, lunch and laughed. I wish she lived closer. In the age of technology, we met on the internet through her blog about 3 years ago.

Listening to the radio on the computer. There are no local country stations I can pick up in the house. This is so cool, no static, any radio station anywhere in the world.

Kitty loves to sit on the window sills to watch the animals. My pond is right below him. There was a chipmunk sitting on the fench post eating something, as I took the picture he ran away. Kitty's tail was going to town.

Time to pull out the slippers. Fall has arrived. I am never without them on my feet, usually with socks on. From now until it's flip flop weather again.

DISCLAIMER: Kitty was not hurt in any way! He started playing in it and of course Shelby and I encouraged him so that I could get a good picture. He did have fun, he loves the sound that plastic bags make.

Now you see it....

Now you don't!  I don't know why it's taken me so long to get rid of this Rhododendron bush, I've hated since the day we moved it.  Not sure what I'm going to plant but I know it will be nicer.

Dump day. Matthew wasn't too happy that he had to use his car and not the truck, but he got over it.

Shelby brought home a letter from the school nurse saying she needed a Tdap shot and a booster for chicken pox or she couldn't go to school. Well, after getting the initial shot (7 years ago) for chicken pox, she actually got them! Anyways, a call to our doctor's office and she was indeed behind with the Tdap and they had documented when she got the chicken pox (I had to prove that she had them). HELLO!!!! The doctor's office took my word BUT the freaking school nurse wouldn't. Stupid! Just saying... She not only got the Tdap shot, she also got the Meningococcal vaccine. Fun...
