We spent a few days at The River (St. Lawrence) where Jeff and Lacie were married.. Such a beautiful, relaxing spot for the big kids and the little ones. Jeff was able to stay for the week-end then head to Syracuse to work early Monday morning. Everyone swam, kayaked, fished, pontooned and relaxed with a toddy or two. Another great respite.

Soon it will be back to school shopping and the year really begins. I've always held September as the start of the new year. January is just..................January! I'm anxious for all things fall. School, football, changing leaves, brisk mornings, Halloween, birthdays and holidays are the very best times
of the year.
