Hey! What happened to summer? My tomato plants are asking the same thing. They sit there with green tomatoes ... My corn is almost ready to be picked which seems a bit late but I had to plant it three times .. once because of temps and twice more because of birds! They didn't like the balloons that hung out there this last time :-)
Grandview Mini Golf was our busy spot this summer, having taken it over from our son and daughter-in-love. Friends own it but lease it to the Pitchers each year .. at least one more year, I think then they may be ready to run it themselves. They're quite busy with several other investments and enjoy having us in charge up there. One less thing for them to worry about.
Sacandaga Bible Conference was my other place of "employment" this summer :-) Actually I volunteered there as their arts and crafts director. Fun stuff with, at one time, 34 kids at 3 picnic tables! It could have been worse ... it could have rained! They brought mne another table! WHEW! Looking forward already to next year ... great couselors/staff and great kids, too!
But summer is over and after a few weeks of "me" time, I will be back to subbing in the school districts. I really enjoy this ... two or three times a week and ther rest of the week is mine! Bill does the same thing with the Sherrif's dept.
With all this time on our hands, you'd think the housework/landscape work would be done! HA!
We are planning our annual "Last Vestiges of Summer" vacation to Ocean Ctiy NJ in a few weeks ... Ahhhhhh!!!!!!
Right now, as I type, Bill and a friend are on the first part of their "New England Road Trip." Bill has a new motorcycle .. Harely Davidson Road King that replaces the one he wrecked earlier this summer. He was only slightly injured and the other motorcylist he hit was ok .. both bikes totaled, though. Thankful for the lessons learned.
That's about it ... see you all when it's winter. Ta Dahhhh!!! ... just about that fast, too!

Fall is my favorite time of year. I just wish it would last longer.
Hi, Joyful Chaos! It was fun to find another blogger commenting on my site! I had such grandios plans for this blog when I started but as you could tell, I managed to let it slide .......
I started writing poetry and had been working on some ongoing genealogical research so I really don't know where I thought the time was going to come from.
Perhaps this winter I'll take the time to coordinate my thoughts, as you have so nicely done with your blog. I was quite happy to "meet" you online, as we live near several Amish communities, and being a curious sort, want to know more of their way of life. It's one thing to read about it historically or off of a "tourist" brochre and another to learn from one who has experienced the lifestyle first hand!
My husband and I just finished a Sunday School class on the Reformation and what we learned of the Anabaptist persecution (and others) was just amazing ... God will persevere as history has shown!
Thanks for stopping by and I do hope we have a nice, warm (ish) l-o-n-g autumn to enjoy, and then we can top it off with Thanksgiving!
