MAKING EACH DAY COUNT

Make today count,
you'll never get it
back.

Well, it's now the middle of August
and I am noticing a slight change
in the temperature, the light, the
smell in the air, and while it's still
warm outside I can feel autumn in
the not so distant future, I'm ready!

This week I've spent getting ready for
the new school year, my last! I had
planned to begin formal lessons after
Labor Day, but Alex is excited to begin
so begin we will. I think we are in for
a fun year, but I am not looking forward
to Linear Algebra; mathematics is 
a subject I was not wired for ;)and
it's kind of hard being a beach bum 
when papers need to be written.

My dishcloth knitting is moving right
along, cast on 44 stitches, garter stitch
for 9 inches, bind off, simple and easy.

I won a giveaway and you can too. 
Wacoal Bras is giving away 30
$80.00 gift cards each week until
December.  Check it out, you can
enter once a day.

My kitchen is beginning to see
a little more activity which makes
my guys very happy. I have been
on a yogurt kick and have made
it twice this week and I even turned
my oven on and baked blueberry
muffins.

My fall garden spot has been disked
so I am hoping to get my hands 
dirty this weekend. It will be me
against the deer and squirrels, but
I have high hopes.

I gave up reading The Vacationers,
thank you for agreeing, and found
a new book that looks pretty promising,
I will keep you posted.

The best thing this week was a phone
call from my daughter and getting to
talk with Emerson. The Army finally
has them a place to live so they will
be moving out of the hotel and into
an apartment this weekend. Next week
when they get internet set up we will
finally be able to Skype which will
ease my heart some. I got a great photo
of Emerson at the grocery store.
They sell yarn at the grocery stores
in Germany? American markets should
take some tips! 

Happy weekending my friends.

Love,
Tracey
