Well the summer has been flying by, it has been a little crazy. I have started into a fall work schedule that looks like it will be quite full which is a good thing. Meg is settled into college routine and so is Missy. They are both doing well and I am now on a new stage of life. I am going to be working with a deaf mentor and then taking my state test again and then I plan to work towards my nationals. It is a time to refocus on things. My garden has given me much joy this summer, it has produced like crazy and it gives me such a sense of accomplishment. The herb gardens are great and so much fun to experiement with. Dave has been using them in dishes and wow the difference from store bought. We have canned a lot this year and I am enjoying the self suffiency of it all. I plan to get started on Christmas stuff before long, but just cant get in the mood.
The latest thing is that Missy and Spencer broke up for the last and final time I hope. She was unwilling to be in a marriage (that is where they were headed) where the parents of her husband had control over him. They all believe in what is called family economics, which to me bespeaks of parents controlling their children long after they should. I am glad she has a strong will, but I feel for her broken heart. Meg is dating a young man, and we like him, I hope she can avoid heartache. His name is Charlie. Well all for now. Hope to go garage sales today, if everyone wakes up soon.
