CLOSING OUT AUGUST

The year, and this month in particular, has flown by.  The biggest thing that happened in August was the birth of little Hadley Jeanne who is the sweetheart of her entire family.  

I met my friends Donna and Carol for lunch at East Coast Wings and Grill.  We had a great time.  Today we are going to Chick-Fil-A for lunch.  It's so nice we can get together once a month.

Joe has spent a lot of time at the V.A. Hospital with various ailments.  Poor guy.  He's down with an upper respiratory infection today.  I hope he's OK for our anniversary in two weeks.

I've been sick too.  Those URI's really can knock you for a loop.  So glad it's over now.  And now it's the torn tendon in my arm.  Still not good, but getting there.

And then there was the eclipse.  I have always been fascinated with astronomy so this was wonderful to me.

I started a new series on the blog too of photos from my friend, Sarah.  She's so good and very appreciative that people like her work since she is an amateur. 

Here's the August view of my temperature afghan.  Over half done now.  You can see all the pink (80*F days) and red (90*F days) but now there is also some yellow (70*F) and one light green (60*F).  I guess this shows the cooling of the seasons.  I'm sure there's still a lot of pink days to go, though.  It doesn't really get cool until the middle to end of October.

My Breathtaking Views calendar is showing the Gateway Arch in St. Louis, MO.  I've always wanted to see this in person.  Maybe someday.

That's it for this month.  Hello, September!
