Whispers of fall......

Was it just me or did any one else notice the whispers of fall in the air this morning? I cannot wait, I am NOT a summer heat kind of girl, and for the record I never have been, even when I was sporting less insulation, ya know.....thinner! I know I still have quite a bit of time to endure the summer, but hope comes in whispers sometimes. :)

Well the storm thankfully has come and gone and it did not cause too much damage in our area. We are so lucky to live in this part of the state, it is by far the safest location, in Florida, but still not too far from the beaches, which totally contradicts my lack of love for the summer heat, but hey waves crashing on the seashore is wonderful anytime of the year.

As some of you may know, I broke my favorite coffee mug this morning, which was a replacement to my old favorite coffee mug that my sister Amy shattered on my kitchen floor almost 8 years ago. Amy felt terrible so she bought me that one and once again, it has become my old favorite coffee mug. I immediately thought "I hope this is not an indication of what my day will be like".  (This was after my refreshing dog walk this morning and whispers of fall and yes I can clearly see my error was walking the dog before my coffee). Anyway,  I am happy to report that is not the case...so far.  Matter of fact, my sister-in-law Chrissy (Scott's wife) saw my post on Facebook and would you believe it, she has three of those exact coffee mugs in need of a new home and believe you me I am gonna welcome them in gladly!!!! I know it's just a cup, but you know exactly what I mean, you too have a go to cup/mug.

So as most days go there are ups and downs through out them, but so far the scales are tilted to ups!

I don't know about you but I have been super busy for the last several days. Thursday night Allie and Nick had a 'pre-hurricane" get together at the house with some friends which, lucky for me, turned into a jam session, and I am pretty sure that at least half of us really enjoyed it, me included. Three guitars, quite a few singers, and music that ranged from 70's to current was played and sang and to be honest it was not all good but was still a good time. Friday I worked and started on some yard clean up. Saturday was a carry over from Friday with more yard clean up and Sunday after church more outside cleaning and babysitting my great nephew Hoyt, who is such a happy baby. For the record I am not one of those women who could see myself with a baby of my own at this stage, no thank you. Since my yard looked so nice I decided to invite my brother Andy and his family over for a cookout for Labor day to also celebrate Larry's birthday, it was a great couple of days!

Well I wish you all a wonderful week and that the whispers of fall will come closer and speak louder as quickly as possible.
