Missing routine

Good Morning and Happy Sunday! Slow this morning with the holiday weekend. Some of routine returns with a bang tomorrow which is a good thing. Woke to a surprise today as I was not expecting to see a dusting of snow. Perhaps this is a sign of the winter to come. I rather like the idea of a quiet gentle one over a massive storm in March. I guess we will have to wait and see.  How has this holiday week been? For the first time Serra had the entire week off with the blessings of the school district. There have been times in previous years where we had snowstorms or other things going on where the girls missed the...

A new level

Good Morning and Happy Sunday! It's bit chilly on my bare toes today as temperatures have finally dropped into the winter range. We also received our first taste of snow this past week. Nothing along the lines of what Buffalo and the lake effect created but it is a taste of what's to come. What did we do this week? Serra got her first taste of 'night' driving as the time change makes twilight fall fairly close to the end of the school day. She had a busy one with music with jazz rehearsal and concert preparation for the festival and clinic that bands from across the area played in on Thursday. For the first time ever students in our...

Dreams

Good Morning and Happy Sunday! Before you say anything, yes, I know it's early. The skies are still dark outside my window today and I am already awake. Saturday nights, the dreaming world and I have not gotten along well lately so when I woke up today, I said enough. Now I am in my comfy chair wrapped in my pashmina blanket waiting for the sunrise. Hopefully the dreams are the Universe's way of clearing out some of the old clutter to make more room to believe in myself. What did we do this week? It was a short one for Serra with having Friday off. She turned in her WWI project on poison gases and is always ahead in...

Keep on growing

Good Morning and Happy Sunday! Time change today which always feels weird even with this one being the favorite for everyone with gaining the extra hour. I still feel that I don't have enough time. We had our first taste of winter with a teeny tiny storm that the grass held onto for a day. It still did its damage in Denver with a HUGE black ice pileup. I guess it is a good thing the Broncos are on the bye as the stadium parking lot is currently being used as an impound yard! What did we do this week? Jazz band for Serra has jumped into full swing with two early morning practices after the conclusion of the marching...

The fade into Fall

Good Morning and Happy Sunday! Fall finally seems to be in full swing in my little corner of the Fort. The trees have lost most of their leaves and frost has been on the cars in the morning. The windows have been closed and the heat kicked on for a couple of nights. Considering it is almost November it is time! What have we been up to this week? Serra had an easy week at school which is the norm. I was hoping that this year would be more of a challenge for her but so far it is not. Thankfully she is learning things about herself that will come in handy later on. We have been doing more driving...
