Transitional Check-in
Thought I'd better check in, since I haven't posted in a couple of days. It's a strange time of year; that transition time between go-go-go summer and busy-busy-busy fall.
I don't really feel like we got much summer around here, but when I say that I hear, "but we had a heat wave a few weeks back!" Sure, we enjoyed (well, some of us anyway) a couple of weeks of hot, summer weather. It was glorious! But, mostly it would seem that we have had grey, albeit warmer, summer weather this year. I'm totally not ready to move into the grey, cooler weather of fall. (Someone suggested they liked the 'crispness' of fall...well, whatever. I'm glad someone enjoys feeling cold!) That's it, I'm buying one of those sun-lamps for people with S.A.D. and installing it in my craftroom!

We will celebrate Rosh Hashana and Yom Kippur before Succot. The fall festivals are one right on top of another, that's for sure! Then, soon on the heels of the fall festivals is Hanukkah and the holiday season will be in full swing. *sigh* Yeah.
With the first of September comes a re-vamp of our homeschool work and goals. Chore lists are re-visited and shuffled, the kids clean out their school 'cubbies' and get ready to buckle back down to full days of subjects. During the summer we only tackle the 'heavy-hitters', which would be math and language studies, and even then studies are put on the back-burner while we enjoy summertime activities. But, now it's back to the grind for the students around here.

Since fall is upon us, hubby Rob and the boys are gearing up for the hunting season which starts very soon. Unfortunately, the Boiler Operators at Boeing may be going on strike during Elk Camp, which would really put a crimp in their plans. I'm hopin' for Rob's sake they don't go out; he always has to work long, hard hours when there is a strike to fill in for the absent strikers. The extra money is good, though. *shrug*
Well, that's about it from here...nothing earth shattering or deeply philosophical on this day. Perhaps that's a good thing.

I guess I need to find my leather stuff for him. ;-)
