Summer's End

 And so ends a summer to remember!    I reflect back on all that has unfolded and in the moment, it feels a little like a whirlwind.  So much has happened...in such a brief period of time.  How telling are the pictures we have to look back on.  How lingering are the memories of our celebrations. 

We were grateful to share a few moments at Eden this past weekend as a family.  Just enough time to get in some wild tubing rides for Ashley and her cousin Rachel and Cam.  Sonya and I were more than happy to be the "spotters" in the boat.

Where has the time gone?  A question I ask myself often.  Yesterday we celebrated Cam's 20th birthday with some family and friends.  We laughed and reminisced and enjoyed a bounty of food.  We were even privy to one of our guests...a friend of Cam and Sonya's who climbed our tree in the backyard, sprayed a wasp nest and then cut it off the branch.  Cam and his cousin Nick "captured" it in a garbage bag.  No injuries were reported!!!!! ha,ha 

Thanks for your home-grown flowers Chris!!

Lime Chicken and Salsa was Cam's request...look'n good sweetheart!


Some fun stories behind the gifts:)

You sure are beautiful...trouble...but beautiful:)
I may have a touch of sadness as summer comes to a close, but I find delight in all of our seasons and as usual, I am anticipating autumn's glowing colors and the beginning of sweater-wearing days.
