For me - Autumn always meant Back To Work! I loved the sense of order & new beginnings but I hated the kids going back, growing up, moving on. I wanted to freeze time. I SO enjoyed summers at the cottage with Brandon & Ashley. Ryan hated it so it was our break with him going to summer day camps & one on workers at home.
Last summer was much hotter. Then it changed on a dime at Labour Day & here it was one of the gloomiest autumns ever! I was trying to plan a Disney trip for Ryan & that witch fought me every inch of the way. I'm so glad we have another trip planned - so easy this time & we are all very enthused about our Halloween visit.
Gineen - I'm with you - let's hold on to every minute! It feels weird to be packing & realizing I will need gloves & a winter hat - I'm going to a glacier in summer! What am I thinking?
Betsey & Kat - I must say that I DO love Fall decorating. I even change the couch throw & pillows to orange & reds! September means Ashley's birthday & this year a wedding that my son is in & we will all attend. Much to look fwd to!
My sister & nephew are coming tomm for a visit. She is also a single Mom of 3. It is nice that she will have someone on one time with her youngest & we've got big plans for swim, sun, boating & campfire asper their request but also the things we love most about living in Muskoka.
Forgot to mention the celebrity stuff. We have so many living here in summer. Ash has SO hoped to see one. She left work 15 min early last Friday & Martin Short came in right after that. Her boyfriend had seen him in the bank (my bank) earlier in the summer. Then he ran into Kate Hudson last week. Kurt & Goldie are often at the market.
Speaking of the market - gotta run & get ready. I'm volunteering for the library today - selling books at the market. Hope the storm holds off a while longer!
