One more day and I want to post here again, though I don't have great things to post. Only habit builds habit, and I want , as I wrote last night, to restore this blog, not to lose it. I can write tonight that we have had rain two days in a row and the temperature probably won't reach 100 this week. Maybe it won't get that hot again this year. Or maybe it will. there is definitely a sense of summer ending. School starts here in a week and the teachers are already back. All of my grandchildren have school supplies and most of their school clothes. Liam and Drea are both going to preschool this year, first time for him and starting up again after summer break for her. Both seem excited. I bought several fun little school dresses for Drea at Savers, my favorite second hand store, and Liam chose himself several plaid shord sleeved button front shirts at the same store. That style seems to be his trademark. He dresses like his Daddy, which makes for some great pictures both mental and photographic. Life is good in our house tonight. Ruth is working on photographs she took at a bridal shoot today (not a wedding but just phtos of the bride) This is especially cool because the bride was one of Chris' students his first year teaching in the high school in Jourdonton, a small town south of San Antonio. She kept up with Chris, and now is teaching in Round Rock, just north of here, and about to marry. Continuity like that feels good to me. Bob is out at the kitchen table printing out English language materials for the refugee program wiht which he volunteers. Liam is sleeping and Chris is reading. This time next week KK will be back in her little house, probably NOT sleeping since school will start the next day.

Nice to see you continuing to comment here and giving a word picture of your life. What fun to help outfit Liam and Drea for their preschool. Second hand stores are wonderful for kids that age especially! How neat that one of Chris' former students kept up with him and that Ruth is now taking photos of the student's wedding....a wonderful connection!
