September Musings

The last five days have been so special. First because I had four of them off work. Second because now that Lilly can walk she is often outside in the back playing with Emma and Abby.. It is such a treat for dear old Dad to see the three little girls all playing together like that. It's like we are a family again in a strange way... When there is a little one who isn't up on two feet yet, outside family adventures are usually undertaken just when the baby is sleeping, or they don't involve one of the parents..But now we can get up teams and play soccer or Pam and I can work on the (enormous) flower beds in the back yard, trim the (numerous) trees and haul (voluminous) loads of weeds to the back edge of the yard...Tractor rides are mandatory of course for all three girls..

Last evening we were treated to a live concert of Southern Rock covers from a band at the Harley dealer a couple miles down the road. Fortunately I like Southern Rock and fortunately the band was pretty good. Life in our neck of the woods slows down a bit now that Cedar Point is not open everyday... You can get a seat in a restaurant again and the line at Cold Stone Creamery is no longer out the door....
