WOW! How can it be August?

Gee where has the summer gone?? Little Nik is big seven years old now. Madi is three. We have had our silly little puppy girl Peyton for about a whole year now.
I simply cannot believe that school will be starting soon. How can Jake be in his second year of college, (so glad he is still at home!!) and how can Beth be a sophomore in High School?? Mind boggling!!
Five months since we lost Daddy. I didn't want to give up winter as in the winter we had Daddy alive. Now I have loved summer and don't want to give it up :-(
It has been a really hot summer. My container plants have done well for the most part. I am harvesting peppers now. Mamma got to go with us to Brown County Inn a few weeks ago for a fun two night stay. It is nice to get away and we all LOVE Brown County Indiana!
This summer we lost our beloved Fr. Tom. (but we will visit him one of these days) We really do miss him. He is up in Indy now. We have a new Fr. John who seems really nice. I just don't take change very well. Is that a sign of getting old?? I think so!
But I am thankful for all of our priests as we would not have the Holy Mass without them.
Jess and Nick are engaged now and Jess is having the mostest fun making wedding plans. Here is hoping all goes well for them!
All is well. Goodnight Moon.
Happy harvesting to all who have gardens. Enjoy fall that is just around the corner. As for me, I will hang onto summer every minute I can. But I know when it comes I shall love fall too.
That's me away!
