Fall??

Is it fall? The summer was a terrible 90-100 degree top of humidity wasteland inbetween the freezing air conditioning. I think we went 3-4 weeks of no rain until everything around died... now it's raining for days, I have socks & pants on & haven't suffered the freezing air conditioning for days!!!!! Did I mention I HATE air conditioning.. eventhough it is a necessity. Well, I know it is not really fall yet (the one week we get before a rapid turnover to snow), but it is SO nice to get a break. I feel like I have some energy now!!! Good, because I have so much to do.. with my father, husband, son, nephew & two neighbours (father & son on the SAME day) all have birthday's in the same two-week timespan in September. I am working on making a toddler chair for my son's FIRST birthday & it would be nice to finish my husband's afghan as he reminds me of it ALL the time, plus figure out what/if to design the cake. He would be so surprised as he says I never finish any of my projects (HE does NOT either, I would like to add)... but I have finished squares for my Ravelry group... 12" is a good size project... LOL!

It is so nice to have all these birthdays coming up... Sunday was the anniverary of my mother's death, I can't believe it has been 22 years. Sometimes it feels like 1 week, others 100 years. She has missed everything important in my life. For some reason it is always a day my sister & I never get around to calling/writing each other.
