"Where Does Time Go?"
We hear that phrase so many times in our lives that it has become one of the world's wonders to me.
This summer I did not have the opportunity to work in the schools as I did in the past. I really didn't think it would bother me so much since there was so much to be done with David's graduation, travel baseball (X 2 boys), and beginning to do the footwork for our November wedding. I also had plans to crochet a lot, garden, read and walk.
As the summer days progressed, I found myself writing "to do" lists every day. (This was after a great stay with my brother, who lives in Florida!)
There was a whole menu to plan for the graduation party, grocery shopping, and actually cooking and preparing the food for the party. I enjoyed it, but was constantly worried about volume- would there be enough food?? LOL
Baseball went quickly-one son's team was up and down with victories, the other son rarely played due to lack of organization of tournaments by the coach. Sad for both sons, yet it was a little break for us!
Wedding plans are going well- all we need to decide now is flowers and honeymoon (if we have one). The cake will be ordered next week, the invitations are in the making and the dress is almost paid off. The guys still need to select tuxes, but that doesn't take much time-
I did crochet a shrug sweater in a beige pearl color, and a couple of change purses in cool summer hues and I took a knitting class. I prefer crochet-LOL!
I read a few Debbie Macomber books which were excellent, and gardened here and there, but mostly maintanance work.
I have been taking early morning walks every day that fall between the 3 and 4 mile distance. I have enjoyed waking around the island and discovering new things I hadn't noticed before.
It is almost time for me to go back to school- I should be sad, but I feel that urge to organize the classroom, dust off the books, and get going again.
I am glad I love my job, but that's not too say that summer didn't go by too fast- It DID! I will miss my walks-and I will try to envision them in the winter months to get me through...
I will miss the alone time I have had with my man- it is time worth "saving in a bottle"! I love him with all my heart-
With that in mind-
Time for Tea! (And a snack to go with it!)
