More than a week has flown by since last I blogged. In between was Labor Day with a family BBQ; two days with Ember; a day of grocery shopping, etc., in Colonie (including dinner out at a lousy Mexican place); and dinner with “the girls” from Banking. Yesterday we went to a Civil War reenactment in South Westerlo. It was very disappointing.
The usual around-town errands were run as well as the usual cleaning and lots of laundry. I've been computering, reading and knitting, as well as some daydreaming on the swing on the terrace. The sun is definitely a late summer/early fall sun and it makes me more introspective than usual.
Ron has been busy ordering and preparing the sites for the new furnace. Some of the prep includes cleaning out the cellar. This makes me VERY happy!!! Tuesday of next week he’ll dig, or at least start digging, the hole for the tank, which will be delivered Wednesday afternoon.
Below are pictures taken of Ember in the past week or two. At her age she doesn’t change quickly, but I love to see the different expressions and faces she has, all depending on what she’s doing at the moment. When she woke up from her nap Tuesday, I told her Grandma has a headache – a boo boo in her head – so we were going to do quiet things. She promptly pointed out a “blue and black” (pronounced bu and back) on her knee so she offered to kiss my head and then offered me her knee to kiss in return.
Today’s weather – It’s sunny but hot and humid. The weather was hot all last week, with a high of 90 Friday and a lot of rain yesterday due to Tropical Storm Hannah.
Gas prices – They continue to drop, down around $3.739 at the cheaper gas stations.
Exercise – I’ve been treadmilling and/or doing a Leslie Sansone walking DVD. The new DVD is great. Four miles of really fast exercise.
Life lessons – Life can be incredibly sweet by exchanging boo boo kisses with a toddler. I wish kisses could heal all boo boos.
