How much better can it get? The closing week of the NFL? haha

Derek took off this morning, suitcase weighed 47.5 pounds after a little readjustment. I am waiting to hear from him about his adventures today. We spent a lot of time together in the last couple weeks, so withdrawal will be tough! My youngest just got her driver’s license, so I probably won’t see her for months either…..

The weather is delightful here, too. There are acorns all over the ground in the park. I finally had time to write a post this morning, which will probably make it up this afternoon or evening. I notice you haven’t been posting as often, or is that my imagination?

Again, I’m very excited for him.

We’ve had temps in the upper 60′s and lower 70′s for the last week. Other than being sick as a dog on Friday I’ve been in heaven!

And it is opening weekend in the NFL! How much better can it get?!?!?

Wow! That’s a lot of Harleys! So interesting. I’ve never ridden one–the motors kind of scare me. I guess I’m a wimp.
But they are pretty, in a Harley kind of way.

Thanks for coming to my party! You made my day even more wonderful!

Hi Carl, we can’t get rid of temps in the 80′s! I could use a little fall about now.
It was a fun weekend. I had plans to avoid the festivities because it is so LOUD and crowded, but Derek is young and full of adventure, so he inspired me. It was great just to spend the time with him, too, since he is leaving on Sunday. I will report about his adventures in New York. He lived a semester in London, so he is an old hand at making himself at home in a new city. I will ask him to write a guest post!
Okay, I have to get back to reading my R.I.P book! So far: strange but good. A tea kettle turns into a badger…..

Sounds like a great weekend. And temps in the 80′s? Fantastic! Loved all the pictures and the quotes accompanying your text. I’m very sorry to hear about the computer crash and the loss of your story. I’ve had many computer crashes but have never lost anything like that. I can imagine the devastation. I hope the rewrite goes smoothly for you. I’m excited to hear that your son found a place and look forward to your reports on his adventures in NYC. It is a vibrant, interesting place. I’m sure he will learn a lot and have an amazing time.

Good morning Oh! You are so right. I wish I could be succinct…. but alas, I tend to go on and on. Taking the photos was so much fun, too. Everyone was happy, having a good time. The morning paper reported there were no arrests at the festival last night! I think that is amazing.

Brightmyer – they were beautiful. So many different models, with their individualized paint and decoration. We walked up and down lines of parked bikes and just admired them.

loved the quotes interspersed with text and photos – they made me laugh. Sometimes, the power and/or truth of one line, one sentence, amazes me.
