Where did summer go...?

It's hard to believe it's over.

Well, not really over, we will still have warm days for a couple of months, but summer officially ends (at least for the kids) next Tuesday, upon the return to school. Cade is going into 2nd grade, and Kyla is going into 10th! (and you wanna know a secret??? She has a boyfriend!!!)

A lot has been going on here in my little world...I moved to a wee little place in Chalfont, just me and Cade (with room for Kyla when she visits). It was a barn, had horses in it years ago. Now it's a sweet little place that has 3 small bedrooms, a shared living/dining area and kitchen (formerly the foaling stall). And the bathroom was the tackroom...Don helped get it fixed up (actually he did all the work) and now it's shades of sage green and Cade's room is a tropical blue worthy of the Caribbean. The cat and birds have adjusted. Has acres of woods behind (slated for the 202 bypass, but that has been in the works for 20 years, so I'm not worried yet) and I can hear owls at night and mysterious sounds by day.

Cade can stay in the same school now. He was being redistricted when we were at the old place.

I am enjoying settling in. Nesting, almost...
