September is a great month
I'll show you a few pictures that explain what we experienced this past month or so. The weather this month was outrageously beautiful, so we were outside a lot. I love Washington for so many reasons. The beauty of autumn is just one of those huge happy gifts that make it so marvelous to live here.
Anyway, Bill and I took a little "camp" trip to Ocean Shores early this month and picked up a couple of darling kites. Also, we had our sweet grandchildren visit us a couple of times, so there are pictures of them.
I had a birthday (no gray hairs, but definite differences going on with age). Heather and Evan took me out for great Thai food lunch.
Then, the last week of the month, I was in Utah for a number of days visiting the folks, family and cousins. My BYU dorm friends from my freshman year had a reunion. We were all young girls of 18 years old back in 1971-72. That was also the year that I found and fell in love with my Bill, thanks to my roomates. Now, we are grandmothers. There were 41 of us that made it to the reunion! We re-bonded so easily that it was really tearful to say goodbye again. I was amazed at this experience and will cherish it. These sweet women are incredible mothers, professional musicians, dentists, missionaries, business leaders, principals, teachers, and my friends. They all are active members of the church with firm testimonies. Imagine the odds of all that.
Anyway, I just thought I'd share that with you. It makes me realize how important all our choices are throughout our lives. This was a really wonderful thing to experience.
Love to everyone.
